Introduction
------------	

Liblouis is an open-source braille translator and back-translator. It
features support for computer, literary and math braille[1], supports
contracted and uncontracted translation for many, many languages[2].
It plays an important role in an open source accessibility stack and
is used by screenreaders such as NVDA and Orca. A companion project
liblouisxml[3] deals with formatting of braille. 

Changes in this release
-----------------------

This is a big release for liblouis. It's the first time that it is
done from the Google code page. A number of people have contributed,
namely John Boyer (table debugger, bug fixes), Eitan Isaacson (Python
bindings), James Teh (Python bindings, bug fixes), Christian Egli
(documentation) and Michel Such (table for French grade 2).

liblouis now comes with a debugger that can help to find problems with
translation tables.

* French table for grade 2
There is now a translation table for French grade 2.

* pass1Only mode bit
The new pass1Only mode bit will help developers of screen readers as
the cursor will stay where it is expected to.

length which is larger than its input length.
