PLX conversion
Nothing new since last meeting 14.12. Tomi has made a new speller, but the test results were identical to the previous version.
Remaining PLX bugs:
Second PRI
WE HAVE TO TALK ABOUT THE FOLLOWING:
| Strange PLX behaviour | |
|---|---|
| Mihkalmas-beaivi | 593 |
It seems that the lexical entry Mihkalmasbeaivi blocks the dynamic compound Mihkalmas-beaivi. This suggest a strange bug in the PLX code somewhere, but we don't know where and how - yet. Needs to be investigated.
Thomas has added some more test words to try to help find the issue with this bug. The result seems to be consistent: a lexicalised noun that is just a hyphen away from a dynamic compound, will block that dynamic compound. Thomas will add even more, and more different test words to try to confirm if this behaviour is consistent over more classes of compounds

DONE:
- Tomi has solved even more PLX bugs
TODO:
- investigate the inconsistent PLX conversion bug, cf guollibusse ( Tomi)
- solve the remaining PLX bugs one by one (Tomi)
Release plan
The December 1 goal has passed, without meeting the targets. On the plus side is that the number of open PLX bugs have been greatly reduced, and Tomi are squashinhg PLX bugs all the time. It just takes more time than anticipated.
The installer was not easily solved by the WiX alternative - it turned out that the Greenlandic proofing tools installer has the same problems as we have.
Re-scheduling the release plan:
- New deadline December 20:
- PLX bugs solved
- if met, we'll release a 2.3 update using the NSIS installer, and mainly linguistic improvements for SME
- PLX bugs solved
- January 4: new Windows installer Alpha
- January 10: Beta release, PLX fixes for SMA and SMJ
- January 21: Divvun 3 release
