[okfn-discuss] v0.3 of Open Shakespeare Released

[Rufus Pollock]

A new version (0.3) of open shakespeare is out. As part of the release 
I've also set up a proper project website at:

   <http://www.openshakespeare.org/>  (thanks jo!)

And the demo web interface is now at:

   <http://demo.openshakespeare.org/>

Main improvement is the mutiviews which you can see a demonstration of 
by visiting:

   <http://demo.openshakespeare.org/view?name=othello_gut_f+othello_gut>

which will show the Gutenberg normal and folio editions of Othello side 
by side.

Full release announcement is below. Please feel free to forward to 
relevant lists and individuals.

Regards,

Rufus

## v0.3 of Open Shakespeare Released ##

A new version (0.3) of open shakespeare is out. Get it via the code page:

   <http://www.openshakespeare.org/code/>

### Changelog ###

1. Can now view mutiple texts side by side (ticket:15). See it in action at:

    <http://demo.openshakespeare.org/view?name=othello_gut_f+othello_gut>

2. Now include moby/bosak versions of shakespeare as well as gutenberg 
(ticket:10) (though more work remains to be done to process these 
versions to plaintext and html)

3. Fix bug whereby we were missing some of the available gutenberg texts 
(ticket:18)

4. Install the shakespeare python package (ticket:16)

5. Move to py.test from unittest

6. New project website at <http://www.openshakespeare.org/>

### Outstanding Issues ###

1. Several of the source texts (all of them Gutenberg folios) seem to 
break the viewer due to kid (the templating system) complaining about 
about 'not well-formed (invalid token) xml'. Any help in tracking this 
down would be greatly appreciated.

### About Open Shakespeare ###

variety of tools and a python API.
