Other

• Filter for jumps between Notebook and Lexicon. You can use a new right-click menu option to filter for an anthropology category.
• Send feedback
• Send error message
• Dictionary view now has Bidi support – Where you would normally just put a space, if it might be between two pieces of LTR text that should be ordered with the first one on the right, you need the three-letter sequence RLM, space, RLM, where RLM is the Unicode character U+200F, the Right-to-left marker.
• “Parse Words in Text” while on the Analyze tab now shows the results immediately.
• Lots of bugs were fixed!

In Translation Editor:

• The Biblical Terms view can show additional glosses and a description for the selected term in a pane below the biblical terms pane.
• You can find a term using the new Find Biblical Term command to search glosses, descriptions, and the terms in the original biblical languages.

• When adding a new text, it is incorrectly NOT being added to the current set of texts selected in Choose Texts. This means that if you visit Statistics view and return to Interlinear Texts, the new text has disappeared from view. Workaround: Use View > Choose Texts and select the new text(s) for display.
• When using Find in Dictionary in the Baseline of a text, and using the Other function to look up anther word, the Show button is not working on the Find dialog. This also affects this feature in Translation Editor and Paratext.
• When exporting to Pathway or XHTML, the style of sense numbers in a Reversal Index is not exported to the accompanying CSS file. Workaround: add a style definition of sensenumberref to the CSS file.
• When you apply a filter using the Choose option, you cannot remove the filter by reusing the Choose dialog and deselecting the checked boxes. Workaround: Use the Show All option.
• Bulk Edit can go blank (show no entries) if you turn off a filter in Lexicon Edit or Browse, having just bulk edited data in the filter using List Choice. Solution: Close and restart FLEx.
