Name        : liblouis
Product     : Fedora 22
Version     : 2.6.2
Release     : 1.fc22

Summary     : Braille translation and back-translation library
Description :
Liblouis is an open-source braille translator and back-translator named in
honor of Louis Braille. It features support for computer and literary braille,
supports contracted and uncontracted translation for many languages and has
support for hyphenation. New languages can easily be added through tables that
support a rule- or dictionary based approach. Liblouis also supports math
braille (Nemeth and Marburg).

Liblouis has features to support screen-reading programs. This has led to its
use in two open-source screen readers, NVDA and Orca. It is also used in some
commercial assistive technology applications for example by ViewPlus.

Liblouis is based on the translation routines in the BRLTTY screen reader for
Linux. It has, however, gone far beyond these routines.

Update Information:

This release fixes a long standing emphasis bug, adds more functionality to the harness test suite and improves, as usual, on Braille tables. Notably there is a brand new finish table backed by Celia.

Braille table improvements:
* Correction to comments in Norwegian generic tables
* Corrections to dot patterns in no-no-g0.utb
* Corrections and additional test cases for Hungarian grade 1
* New 6-dot table for Finnish. The existing tables for Finnish were 8-dot, but there is an official specification only for 6-dot braille in Finnish.

su -c 'yum update liblouis' at the command line.
