Oijon Dev Log - Susquehanna 0.0.1

01/12/2023

That was quicker than expected! I am very pleased to announce the first public release of Susquehanna! Here's what's new:

• .language file revamp! Now only one file is needed to store all of a language's information!
• A brand new PHOSYS parser! In the future, this might just end up as it's own standalone download!
• The ability to save languages is here! Whenever editing, simply press "Apply Changes" to save it!
• Added ability to edit phonologies!

First thing to get to: PHOSYS has changed quite a bit since I was talking about it back on Christmas. When I was working on encoding phonology to a file, I realized that the phonology system would somehow have to be attached to the file, as otherwise it wouldn't be able to display. As I started to get phonologies into PHOSYS files, I realized that the way I had planned for storing languages didn't quite make sense if I wanted them to be sharable. Why have 6 different files for one language, when they can be all combined into one? I didn't think the built-in Java Properties files would cut it, but I figured that PHOSYS files probably would. There were a few issues with this, mainly with unnamed data like the tabledata. These are now marked with a special blank tag, but they now need a : to work properly. As such, the PHOSYS file from the Christmas dev log will no longer parse correctly. Furthermore, phonology systems now need to be in a tablelist tag instead of just floating around, as otherwise there would be no way to tell what is supposed to be the name for the language and what is supposed to be the name for the phonology system. Attached is a new version of the IPA PHOSYS file.
