DGT-OmegaT 3.1 and 3.2 published

As the version number shows, this is a major update, including lot of new features in one single distribution. We publish at the same time:

  • Version 3.1, used internally during around 1 year, and which should now be considered as stable;
  • Version 3.2, which is a merge of version 3.1 with all developments made for the public version 3.0 in 2018. Howeer, these changes have not be widely tested, so this version is for developers and testers.

New features are mainly about interaction with Trados Studio : it includes new filter for XLIFF (with variants for 1.2, 2.0 and SDLXLIFF) and possibility to call Studio to rebuild the original file, using an intermediate command-line tool, which is also part of DGT-OmegaT project but written in C# because linked to Trados API. These feature are used by our translators for more than one year, so they are present in both stable 3.1 and development 3.2.

In version 3.2, some algorithms are also rewritten, for better performance but with the risk of regression:

  • Search & replace : based on the work done for standard OmegaT 4, the new replace for regular expressions takes less space in memory, especially for searches with lot of results per segment (such as searching a very small regular expression which occurs often in a segment)
  • Segment coloration : now all colorations are implemented in SegmentBuilder, which avoids problems such as colors which cummulate (see color for "auto-inserted segment" for example)
  • treatments which occur before "view source" or "view target", such as cross-compilation or reformatter, are now in dedicated classes (linked to file format), which enables easily to add a new filter without making RealProject or MainWindowMenuHandler continuously growing

These improvements are not implemented in version 3.1, so if you discover any problem, have a look to the stable version to help us make the difference between a long-time bug and a regression due to these changes.
