[Lingtyp] Glottolog 3.0 released

[Martin Haspelmath]

Dear Lingtyp community,

We just released the new version 
<http://clld.org/2017/03/29/glottolog-3-0.html> of Glottolog.org.

This is the first release of Glottolog completely based on data curated 
in the *public GitHub repository clld/glottolog*:

– Glottolog data is curated transparently and publicly
– including a full history of changes.
– Community participation is now possible (and welcome!) via GitHub’s 
support for collaboration (by opening issues or proposing changes via 
pull requests.
– Accessing the data is now possible directly by cloning the data 
repository or downloading of a release.
– The data in the repository can also be accessed programmatically using 
the Python client library pyglottolog.

Release 3.0 of the data repository is available at 
https://github.com/clld/glottolog/releases/tag/v3.0

We also introduced a couple of new features for the *Glottolog web 
application*:

– Glottolog now has a logo - the Malayalam letter ga, Unicode U+0D17.
– You can search for references with a query that will be matched with 
content in any field of the bibliographical record.
– Languoid detail pages now provide a link to the underlying data file 
in the data repository (marked with ).
– Glottolog references (http://glottolog.org/langdoc) now contain over 
40,000 references from Benjamins (now totallying over 300,000)

Release 3.0 of the Glottolog web application is available at 
https://github.com/clld/glottolog3/releases/tag/v3.0
