FieldWorks 4.2

FieldWorks 4.2 is now ready to download. This is a stable release, i.e.
it has undergone testing but not to the same degree of thoroughness as
the annual corporate release.

Key new features to note in this release are:
- Vista compatibility
-" Find example sentence" function in the lexicon, using the
text corpus.
- Support for interlinearizing phrases (words must be adjacent).
- Improved performance of the `Find lexical entry' dialog.
- Stem Names, to control stem allomorphy that is dependant on the
presence of certain inflection features.
- Complex Forms and Variant fields in Lexicon Edit, which list linked
complex form and variant entries.
- Improved support for languages relying on a Graphite font, and which
are right-to-left.
- First draft of a French user interface is available via the
Tools>Options menu. (Warning! This is an Alpha quality feature!)
- Draft resource: Introduction to Lexicography (by Ron Moe)

See the ReadMe files for more information and details of the above
(included in download package).

The next corporate release should be ready in October. I will try to
keep a list of what we have implemented in FLEx on the page

if you like to check that occasionally.
