+specially marked. This feature is intended to simplify
+trouble-shooting of regular expression searches for single and
+multiple-part terms.
+
+<li>Links to images may be accompanied by a <tt>&lt;coords&gt;</tt> tag
+that specifies a rectangular portion of the image. Arboreal will then
+highlight the indicated rectangle; if the user marks a new rectangle,
+the attributes of <tt>&lt;coords&gt;</tt> will be updated.
+</ul>
+
+<h3>Version 3.56</h3>

+<li>The <a href="/docs/Arabic/keyboards.html">Romanized Arabic
+keyboard</a> has been simplified.
+</ul>

+displayed in the morphology window. (Donatus currently supports this
+feature for Latin, Greek, and German.)

+to hold down the <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> key. This change was motivated by
+interference between the popup menu and the drag operation.
+
+<li>The split between the tree and content panes can be switched
+between horizontal and vertical orientations.

+
+<li>Drag-and-drop has been implemented for words that are selected as
+the result of a search operation:
+<ul>
+
+<li>The highlighting of search words can be controlled by using
+parenthesized groups in the regular expression for the search.
+
+<li><acronym title="XML Linking Language">XLink</acronym>s corresponding to
+highlighted search words can be dragged from the content pane in which
+they appear.
+
+<li>Dragging highlighted words into the term editor can be used for
+batch adding of terms.
+
+<li>Batch deletion and reassignment of terms is availabled via
+multiple selection in the instances list in the term editor.
+</ul>
+
+<li>Arboreal is knowledgeable about default file locations in bundles.
+
+
+<li>Arboreal keeps better track of what morphology files have already
+been loaded.
+
+<li>A portion of the tree may be selected with an 
+<acronym title="XML Path Language">XPath</acronym> expression
+(<span class="menu">View &gt; Select
+<acronym title="XML Path Language">XPath</acronym></span>).
+<li><kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>.</kbd> (<kbd>Command</kbd> + <kbd>.</kbd> on
+the Macintosh) attempts to abort rendering.
+
+
+<li><acronym title="XML Path Language">XPath</acronym> queries are now
+processed more efficiently.
+
+<li>Standard <code>emacs</code> key-bindings work in text input
+fields.
+
+<li>Extensions to docspecs system:
+<ul>
+<li>Text beneath a node can be filtered using Perl substitute syntax
+(<code>s/foo/bar/</code>).
+
+<li>The parent of a node can be tested in rendering and filtering rules.
+
+<li>A tag may be specified that serves as a grapheme separator
+(implemented for cuneiform texts).
+</ul>
+</ul>
+
+<h3>Version 2.99h</h3>
+<ul>
+<li><span class="menu">Jump to mapped node(s)</span> and <span
+class="menu">View mapped nodes in tree</span> options appear in
+context menu for slave texts.
+
+<li>Improvements to morphology tool (including better support for
+alphabetization in various languages).
+</ul>
+
+<h3>Version 2.99</h3>
+<ul>
+<li>When displaying a page image, a menu option <span
+class="menu">View &gt; View large image</span> is available.
+
+
+<li>A <span class="menu">Find</span> operation displays in the status
+bar the number of containers in which there is at least one hit.
+
+<li><span class="menu">File &gt; Reload text</span> can be used to
+refresh the current document, if it has been changed (e.g., with an
+external editor).
+
+<li><acronym title="XML Linking Language">XLink</acronym>s for
+selected nodes can be dragged from any content pane to any application
+that supports drag-and-drop.
+
+<li>File dialogs contain an <span class="menu">Add to
+catalog...</span> button.
+<ul>
+
+<li>Metadata from
+<acronym title="Extensible Markup Language">XML</acronym> texts is
+extracted automatically. Rules for what is considered metadata for
+various <acronym title="Extensible Markup Language">XML</acronym>
+document types are specified with the docspecs system.
+
+<li>If a file does not contain metadata (or does not contain metadata
+in a form that Arboreal recognizes), the user is prompted to enter the
+data manually.
+
+<li>After catalog entries are accumulated, they can be written out
+with <span class="menu">File &gt; Write new catalog.</span> If no
+catalog information has been accumulated, this option will write an
+empty &quot;skeleton&quot; catalog.
+
+</ul>
+
+<li>Catalog files may contain relative paths. At the time that they
+are loaded, relative paths are converted internally to absolute paths
+(relative to the base of the
+<acronym title="Uniform Resource Locator">URL</acronym> from which
+the catalog file was loaded).
+
+<li>A <span class="menu">Window</span> menu contains the titles of all
+text windows open in Arboreal.
+
+<li>The term editor has been redesigned to be more ergnonomic and to
+offer increased functionality, in accord with the Berlin workshop of
+20 June:
+<ul>
+<li>A list on the right displays all marked instances of the selected
+term (in the current text).
+<ul>
+<li>Selecting an instance in this list allows the user to edit that
+term instance.
+
+<li>Double-clicking on an instance opens a new content frame
+displaying the container in which the instance is located.
+</ul>
+
+<li>A small content pane near the bottom of the term editor displays
+the container in which the instance that is being added or edited is
+located. This pane is resizeable, and all normal context-menu
+functions are available from within it.
+
+<li>At the top of the term editor the current text and language are
+indicated. If the user is not currently editing a term instance, s/he
+may choose new settings for these options.
+
+<li>Buttons in the term editor have been relabeled and moved to be
+more ergonomic.
+
+<li>Red color coding indicates that the instance that has been added
+or selected, or that is being edited, belongs to the selected term.
+
+<li>Contextual messages guide the user through the term instance
+addition/editing operations.
+
+<li>Term instance parts may be &quot;dragged off&quot; the saturation
+bar. With the addition of this operation, Arboreal allows the full
+editing of term instances.
+
+<li>The number of instances, both for the current text, and total, is
+displayed after the term (e.g., <tt>[5/10]</tt>).
+
+<li>When displaying all term instances, distinct highlighting
+differentiates instances of the selected term from instances of other
+terms in the same termlist.
+
+<li>When adding multiple term instance parts, all parts remain
+highlighted in the content pane from which they were selected.
+</ul>
+
+<li>The format of the mapping file has been revised to allow for fully
+reversible <i>n</i>-to-<i>n</i> mappings.
+
+<li>The current directory of file dialogs is preserved between
+sessions.
+
+<li>Thumbnail images in a content pane are clickable links to view the
+full-size image. Link text no longer appears beside the thumbnail.
+
+<li>Arboreal now displays an <span class="menu">Open text</span>
+dialog immediately upon loading.
+
+<li>Notable bugfixes
+<ul>
+<li>Change of display mode for Greek and Arabic now works reliably.
+
+<li>Ports now work in
+<acronym title="Uniform Resource Identifier">URI</acronym>s (e.g.,
+
+<tt>http://archimedes.mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de:8080/</tt>).
+
+<li>Many memory leaks have been closed.
+</ul>
+
+<li>Technical improvements
+<ul>
+<li>Arboreal now uses <a
+href="http://xml.apache.org/xalan-j/index.html">Xalan 2.4.D1</a> for
+<acronym title="XML Path Language">XPath</acronym> processing.
+<li>Arboreal now uses Jakarta ORO for regular expression support. See
+the <a href="/scrapbook/regex.html">regular expression summary</a>.
+
+
+<li>Arboreal has been fixed to work with Java 1.4, which is presently
+available on Solaris,
+<acronym title="GNU's Not Unix">GNU</acronym>/Linux, and Windows. (For
+Apple's plans regarding the release of 1.4, see the <a
+href="http://developer.apple.com/java/faq/">Java on Max OS X <acronym
+title="Frequently Asked Questions">FAQ</acronym></a>.) Cf. <a
+href="/scrapbook/Java1.4.html">Arboreal on Java 1.4 notes</a>.
+
+<li>Layout in content panes is done asynchronously, meaning that there
+is no longer a long wait when displaying long texts.
+</ul>
+</ul>
+
+<h3>Version 2.8</h3>
+<ul>
+<li><span class="menu">View &gt; Open link(s)</span> displays in the
+appropriate tree views the targets of all selected
+
+<acronym title="XML Linking Language">XLink</acronym>. If the target texts are not
+already open in a tree, Arboreal opens them as new master texts.
+
+<li>Terminology should now be usable for Chinese.
+
+<li>Notable bugfixes
+<ul>
+<li>Occasional hangs experienced when displaying new content frames
+have been eliminated.
+</ul>
+</ul>
+
+<h3>Version 2.6</h3>
+<ul>
+<li><span class="menu">Show page image</span> now appears in the
+context menu. Selecting it displays the page image corresponding to
+the nearest <tt>&lt;pb&gt;</tt>, starting from the top of the
+document. For this to work, there must be an image specified as an
+
+<code>xlink:href</code> on that <tt>&lt;pb&gt;</tt>.
+
+<li><span class="menu">Jump to node</span> in the context menu makes
+the relevant node visible in the tree.
+<li><span class="menu">View &gt; Select subtree(s)</span> now operates
+on <b>all</b> the selected paths, not just the lead path.
+
+<li><span class="menu">View all in tree</span> has a cascading menu
+with the choices <span class="menu">Add</span> and <span
+class="menu">Replace</span>. The old behavior is <span
+class="menu">Replace</span>. The new (<span class="menu">Add</span>)
+behavior preserves all currently selected nodes in the tree. <li>Major
+speedup to the code that resolves <acronym title="XML Path Language">XPath</acronym>/<acronym title="XML Pointer">XPointer</acronym> queries.
+
+
+<li>ID-based <acronym title="XML Pointer">XPointer</acronym> queries
+will now work even if a
+<acronym title="Document Type Definition">DTD</acronym> is absent.
+
+<li>A statusbar allows Arboreal to display informative messages. The
+messages are coded by priorty levels (WARN, INFO, DEBUG), and a future
+release will allow you to filter out those messages you don't want to
+see.
+</ul>
+
+<h3>Version 2.5</h3>
+<ul>
+<li>Arboreal is generalized to work with arbitrary <acronym
+title="Document Type Definition">DTD</acronym>s through use of
+docspecs. See the <a href="/scrapbook/docspecs/">relevant
+documentation</a>.
+
+
+<li><span class="menu">Edit &gt; Copy links</span> copies <acronym
+title="XML Linking Language">XLink</acronym> for selected nodes in tree to the
+clipboard.
+
+<li>Term editor frame is raised after an illegal operation in term
+edit mode, so as to allow operation to be canceled conveniently.
+
+<li>Pressing <kbd>Enter</kbd> functions as a shortcut for <span
+class="menu">OK</span> in the find dialog.
+</ul>
+
+<h3>Version 2.33</h3>
+<ul>
+<li>Regular expressions may be used in attribute value searches.
+
+<li>New integrity checking for termlists:
+<ul>
+<li>Term &quot;name&quot; may not be null.
+
+<li>Some automatic repair of non-conformant termlist files.
+</ul>
+
+<li>Major performance improvements to <span class="menu">View in
+tree</span>.
+
+</ul>
+
+<h3>Version 2.3</h3>
+<ul>
+<li>There is now an option to search for attributes. Select the <span
+class="menu">Attribute</span> radio button beside <span
+class="menu">Search in</span>. You may then type one attribute/value
+pair (e.g., &quot;<code>type=head</code>&quot;). [protocol D5]
+
+<li><span class="menu">Cancel</span> now works as expected when
+fontifying new text (i.e., bails out).
+
+<li>Application no longer closes unexpectedly when original window is
+closed. Arboreal quits only when <em>all</em> main windows have been
+closed.
+
+
+<li>Bug fixes
+<ul>
+<li>By selecting <span class="menu">View in tree</span> in no-tags
+mode, it was possible to get tags in one panel and no tags in another.
+<span class="menu">Show tags</span> then merely flipped the states.
+FIXED.
+
+<li>A bug prevented preferences from being preserved across sessions
+if the directory <code>~/arboreal</code> didn't exist. FIXED.
+</ul>
+</ul>
+
+<h3>Version 2.28</h3>
+
+<ul>
+<li>Termlists have their own colors: these show up in the boxes drawn
+around terms as well as in menus. [protocol B2]
+
+<li>Colors can be set through the new configuration facility.
+
+<li>A new configuration facility (with a user-interface within
+Arboreal and a new
+<acronym title="Extensible Markup Language">XML</acronym> file format
+for storing settings) is available. Read its <a
+href="/scrapbook/configure.html">documentation</a>.
+
+<li>Searching has been changed a little. You now have the options of
+<table border="1">
+<tr><td>searching whole document:</td><td><tt><b>[+]</b>From root</tt></td><td><tt><b>[+]</b>Recursive</tt></td></tr>
+
+<tr><td>searching just the selected nodes:</td><td><tt><b>[-]</b>From root</tt></td><td><tt><b>[-]</b>Recursive</tt></td></tr>
+<tr><td>searching the subtrees of the selected nodes:</td><td><tt><b>[-]</b>From root</tt></td><td><tt><b>[+]</b>Recursive</tt></td></tr>
+</table>
+
+<li>A combo box allows you to choose the text you want to search.
+
+<li>Searching is possible in slave texts. At the moment, the search
+must start from the root, and the results must be displayed in a
+separate frame; Arboreal will not allow you to change these options.
+More flexible searching will come with the next release. [protocol B3]
+
+<li>All morphological features work in slave texts. [protocol B3]
+
+</ul>
+
+<h3>Version 2.1</h3>
+<ul>
+<li>Thumbnails can be displayed inline in the content pane (in
+tags-off mode). Arboreal looks for thumbnails in the subdirectory
+<code>thumbs</code> of the directory that contains images. E.g., for
+<code>figures/1.jpg</code>, the thumbnail will be
+<code>figures/thumbs/1.jpg</code>.
+</ul>
+
+<h3>Version 2.02</h3>
+
+<ul>
+<li>Terminology highlighting takes the form of a box drawn around
+terms; other sorts of highlighting are indicated by shading. Both
+types of information are now visible simultaneously. [protocol B2]
+</ul>
+
+<h3>Version 2.00b</h3>
+<ul>
+<li>Current selection in tree is preserved when changing tree levels
+(<span class="menu">View &gt; Show tree levels</span>). [protocol A4]
+
+<li>Selecting <span class="menu">View in tree</span> in the popup
+context menu takes all nodes visible in the current pane and selects
+them in the tree view. [protocol A4]
+
+<li>A new property, <code>defaultlang</code>, can be set in
+
+<code>.arboreal.properties</code>. Any document for which no language
+is specified is assumed to be in this language. [<font
+color="red"><code>.arboreal.properties</code> is obsolete as of 2.23;
+see now <a
+href="http://archimedes.fas.harvard.edu/scrapbook/configure.html">Configuring
+Arboreal</a></font>]
+
+<li>The link pane (<span class="menu">File &gt; Open links</span>) can
+now be closed with "Remove pane" in the popup context menu.
+
+<li>Catalog and canonical name translation services are available.
+<ul>
+
+<li>Use <span class="menu">File &gt; Load catalog</span> to load a
+catalog file (see <a href="catalog-skel.txt">skeleton</a>). <li>A
+default catalog file can be set with the <code>catalog</code> property
+in <code>.arboreal.properties</code> [<font
+color="red"><code>.arboreal.properties</code> is obsolete as of 2.23;
+see now <a
+href="http://archimedes.fas.harvard.edu/scrapbook/configure.html">Configuring
+Arboreal</a></font>]
+
+</ul>
+
+<li>No longer are there separate online/offline modes.
+
+<li>Terminology functions have been moved under a <span
+class="menu">Terms</span> menu.
+<ul>
+<li>Separate functions are available for loading terms from a file and
+for loading terms from the server (database).
+
+<li><span class="menu">Save</span> and <span class="menu">Save
+as...</span> functions are now separate. [protocol D1]
+
+<li>Create an empty term list with <span class="menu">New
+terms</span>. [protocol D6]
+
+
+<li>A <span class="menu">Seed terms</span> function allows one to seed
+the list of candidate terms with terms from other files. [protocol A5]
+
+<li>A <span class="menu">Close</span> function is also available.
+
+<li>Attempting to close termlists that have been modified results in a
+warning. [protocol D1]
+</ul>
+
+<li>Multiple termlists can now be open. [protocol A5]
+<ul>
+<li>Separate termlists are accessed through a cascading ("pull-right")
+menu.
+</ul>
+
+<li>A combo box in the Term Editor supports viewing of terms in
+different languages. [protocol A5]
+
+
+<li>Arboreal now supports a larger subset of the <a
+href="http://ibiblio.org/xml/books/bible2/chapters/ch20.html"><acronym
+title="XML Pointer">XPointer</acronym></a> syntax. Arboreal can
+process all <acronym title="XML Pointer">XPointer</acronym>
+expressions that are valid
+<acronym title="XML Path Language">XPath</acronym> expressions;
+Arboreal also understands the short form <code>xyz</code> for
+<code>id(&quot;xyz&quot;)</code>.
+
+<ul>
+<li>When Arboreal generates an
+<acronym title="XML Pointer">XPointer</acronym> expression for a
+container node in the DOM tree, it references the container's
+<code>id</code>, if that is available. If no <code>id</code> is
+available, Arboreal generates an
+<acronym title="XML Pointer">XPointer</acronym> that references the
+node by its relative position in the tree.
+
+<li>Arboreal can only make use of <code>id</code>
+<acronym title="XML Pointer">XPointer</acronym>s if the document has a
+
+<acronym title="Document Type Definition">
+DTD</acronym> that defines an identifier <code>id</code> of type
+<code>ID</code>. Arboreal must be able to see the <acronym
+title="Document Type Definition">DTD</acronym> if it is to evaluate
+such expressions. [<font color="red">This limitation has been removed
+as of 2.6.</font>]
+</ul>
+
+<li>Fixed bug involving removal of necessary whitespace during
+normalization (e.g., with
+
+<code>&lt;expan&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;expan&gt;</code>). [protocol D9]
+
+<li><span class="menu">Open text</span> opens additional master texts
+in new frames; these texts share all open terminology lists. [protocol
+B1]
+
+<li><acronym title="Extensible Markup Language">XML</acronym> files
+pointed to by <acronym title="XML Linking Language">XLink</acronym> can be opened
+as new master texts.
+</ul>
+
+<h3>Version 1.85</h3>
+<ul>
+
+<li>Support for opening links. Links are opened by selecting <span
+class="menu">Open link</span> in the popup context menu. A link is any
+element with an <code>xlink:href</code> attribute. [protocol A2]
+<ul>
+<li>The "xlink" namespace should be imported in the <acronym
+title="Document Type Definition">DTD</acronym>.
+</ul>
+
+<li>Image files pointed to by links can be opened natively in
+Arboreal. The following heuristic is used to identify image files: the
+<acronym title="Uniform Resource Identifier">URI</acronym> ends in one
+of the extensions <code>gif</code>, <code>jpg</code>,
+
+<code>jpeg</code>, <code>png</code>. These extensions represent the
+image file formats for which Java currently provides support. Support
+for <acronym title="Tagged Image File Format">TIFF</acronym> will be
+added to <acronym title="Java Development Kit">JDK </acronym>1.4 and
+will be available for Arboreal then. [protocol A1/A2]
+
+<li><acronym title="Uniform Resource Identifier">URI</acronym>s with
+<acronym title="XML Pointer">XPointer</acronym>s can be opened in
+Arboreal. Currently, only a small subset of the
+<acronym title="XML Pointer">XPointer</acronym> syntax is supported.
+More will come. [protocol A2]
+
+<li>Arboreal will spawn an external browser (such as Netscape or
+Internet Explorer) to display all other links. [protocol A2]
+
+
+<li>Mapping files use new
+<acronym title="Document Type Definition">DTD</acronym> [<font
+color="red">link removed: obsolete as of 2.99</font>].
+
+<li>Ability to edit and to remove terms. [protocol A3]
+<ul>
+<li>Term removal is disabled in online mode.
+</ul>
+</ul>
