This is an incremental release. It includes fixes and improvements
to Greek short definitions and the treebank integration feature.
Notable fixes include:
The Greek short definitions have been augmented and improved with definitions
provided by Logeion.
We are grateful to Logeion and Helma Dik for sharing this data which greatly improves
the quality of our Greek lookup results.
We have added the voice and tense to the popup display for Greek
and Latin verb participles.
You can now do further Alpheios lookups directly on any Greek words present in the popup.
(For example, on see-references in the short definitions.)
Various improvements to the disambiguation of morphological results
when using a linked treebank.
This is an incremental release. It includes fixes and improvements
to the treebank display and the Greek and Latin inflections. The full
list of items fixed can be found here.

This release includes a number of new features, enhancements and bug fixes.
New Resources
We have added Allen and Greenough's New Latin Grammar as the default grammar for Latin.
(From TEI XML originally produced by the Perseus Project and
further edited, corrected and published by Dickinson College Commentaries.
The Alpheios version, based upon the DCC edition, has been edited and corrected by Monica Zugan.)
The Bennett grammar remains available and users can choose which they prefer in Options.
We have added new default short definitions for Greek, based upon Wilfred Major's Greek
Core Vocabulary and the Middle Liddell. Definitions have been reviewed and edited by Vanessa Gorman,
University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
User Word List and Account Enhancements
The user word lists now include the number of times a word has been looked up and the date of last lookup.
The lists can be sorted and filtered on these fields.
A new "Download for Flashcards" option has been added to the user word lists to enable
import of Alpheios word list data into Quizlet and other flashcard applications.
You can now create and sign in to an Alpheios user account using your Apple ID.
Greek Improvements
Betacode input of Greek text in the lookup box will now be automatically converted to Unicode.
The conversion code has been based upon
a library provided by Anise Ferreira and Rúbens Antônio Rodrigues
for the Greek-Portuguese Dictionary Project.
We have made numerous fixes and improvements to the Greek inflection tables. Many thanks to Vanessa Gorman,
University of Nebraska-Lincoln, for her testing and feedback.
We fixed a bug with lookups of greek contractions that used a right quotation to represent the
elided character.
User Interface Features
The lookup box now includes autocomplete functionality (Latin and Greek only) provided via the search API of
Helma Dik's Logein Project
Users can now configure the size of the Alpheios popup in the UI Options.
Users can now choose to use Mouse Movement over text to select a word instead of double-click in the Feature Options.
Perseids/Alpheios Syntactic Tree Publication Workflow
We are collaborating with the Perseids Project at Tufts
University to support a new workflow for publication of treebank data that supports easy linking of that
data for use within Alpheios.
Publication of treebank data files on GitHub in a way that makes them automatically viewable and browseable directly from the GitHub repository's webpage.
Creation of a webpage that contains text that has been treebanked and that uses the Alpheios Reading tools
to provide enhanced reading aids to readers of this text.
Use of treebank data within Alpheios to view syntactic trees and disambiguated morphological results for words within a text.
