This is a minor release. The Alpheios extensions now issue events (Alpheios_Active and Alpheios_Inactive) that a site or page can use to detect when the user has enabled or disabled it. We have also added inflection tables for a few more Latin irregular verbs.

Please access this page in a supported browser on the desktop to install Alpheios. Mobile solutions are coming soon.
This is the first release of the Alpheios Reading Tools for Safari. The Chrome and Firefox extensions have been updated as well.
In addition to the support for Safari, the following features are included in this release:
This patch to the 2.0.3 Beta release includes a variety of fixes and improvements to the Greek Inflection Tables.
This is the first Beta release of the Alpheios Reading Tools for Chrome and Firefox.
In addition to greater overall stability across a wide variety of sites, the biggest focus of this release is the completion of the Latin and Greek Inflection tables. This release now has near parity with the functionality provided in Alpheios Version 1 and we have improved upon that with greater accuracy, both in the content and when matching into the tables on the forms identified by the morphologic analyses.
If you are still using the old Version 1 Alpheios Firefox Extensions, we encourage you to upgrade now to this newer version.
Various new features and bug fixes are included in the release, the most important being the following:
This release adds the ability to use the escape key to close the Alpheios popup and panel as well as some architectural code improvements.
This release of the Alpheios Reading Tools for Chrome and Firefox is an alpha version, released with these goals in mind:

We have big dreams for Alpheios. We list just some of those here. Eventually we hope to support many additional features (such as commentary and annotation). We hope to provide full multilingual support for the interface and supporting resources, and also to add reading support for additional languages such as Hebrew, Syriac and Coptic. We want to offer more resources (lexicons, grammars, treebanks, translations, etc.) for the existing languages, and to allow users to supply and share their own resources for specific languages and texts. We want to link to the amazing array of already existing-community provided tools and services for these lanaguages, and to allow users the ability to customize the interface and resources for language learning according to their own needs and preferences. We will provide mobile applications and learning games to accompany the browser extensions. We will also explore the addition of audio and visual aids to accompany the texts.
