Problems with wrong QSizePolicy-calls with recent Qt3 releases should now be fixed. Mac and Windows releases stay as they are, because a working Qt3 release is bundled with them.

There are now native packages for Windows and Mac OS X, so there is no need to install Qt and PyQt on these operating systems. Please also note the new XML import and export facilities.

We began to use a new documentation system based on <A HREF="http://ewiki.berlios.de/">ErfurtWiki</A>. Everyone is invited to participate in writing pages and pages of documentation now...<BR/> And, last but not least, there is a pre-release package of Kura 2.2 available at the download section. Some minor bugs were fixed and it is now possible to import XML in Kura. There will be a small database of interlinear texts on the website of our institute soon, some XML files to be directly imported and used with Kura. Stay tuned. </DIV> <DIV CLASS="header10"> 2004-06-17 </DIV> <DIV CLASS="text1"> Just added a few example of language data in the new <A HREF="samples.php">Data Samples</A> section. </DIV> <DIV CLASS="header10"> 2004-05-27 </DIV> <DIV CLASS="text1"> A pre-release package for version 2.1 is now available in the <A HREF="download.php">download</A> area. Any comments are welcome, I'm just getting into the code and may have not even found all the features that were useable (but may not be anymore). Look in the CHANGELOG for new stuff.

Read the proposal for a description of the intended functionality and the preliminary design. The application consists of four independent parts: an application framework that works with the data from the database, and a gui-framework that the user to work with the data, a server that can present the data in html form over the Internet, and finally a project that is used to generate a pdf version or an html version of a linguistics text that uses the information from the database. <BR/><BR/> </DIV> <DIV CLASS="header1">Requirements</DIV> <DIV CLASS="text1"> Kura is developed in Python, with some third party extension modules for the GUI and the database connectivity.
