  • May 24. Completed how to deal with composites and phrases. Chinese wordlists now sorted, by pinyin pronunciation. Added glyphlist page holding all combinations of core glyphs. Rescaled all glyphs so that only smallsize loaded unless click-upon to access explanation page (where full-sized version is shown). Sentence 3.
  • May 22. Switched to unicode. All explanation html files are created with unicode so that all languages can be seen at the same time. Individual language wordlists kept in original encoding. Added Greek language translations, 50%.
  • May 21. Created glyphsets pages, with glyphs sorted by categories. New glyphsets: family relationships and body (outside) parts.
  • May 20. Sound files for amino acids and nucleotides placed online.
  • May 16. Added Chinese PinYin wordlist.
  • May 11. Changed once more the encoding scheme to be visible under any browser (read: cope with how netscape 6.2 doesn't deal with accented letters in pagenames) and at the same time usable under any filesystem (read: cope with windows caselessness in filenames): the new encoding scheme (hopefully the definitive one) is as compact when information is stored or transfered but creates slightly expanded filenames (to differentiate between filenames containing uppercase or lowercase letters). Added dictionary/wordlists for all words present in MG translations.
  • May 7. Changed the layout of glyph explanation/translation pages. Changed main page layout (two columns). Added page with tips on different browsers. Added explanatory page on the glyphs pronunciation scheme.
  • May 6. Updated page on DNA representation, adding colourshapes and music for protein sequences and DNA sequences + multisequence codon usage analysis. Added two pages (about "auxiliary language" and about "music rendering") under Introduction.
