The primary new features since 8.0.10 are:

  • The “Find” function now searches in Definition and Reversal (when the user has chosen an Analysis language for the search), and those columns show in the dialog box. The Allomorph field has been hidden but can be configured to show and be searched.
  • On importing SFM, blank \ps fields are no longer treated as if they are not there.- This prevents the sense they are in from inheriting the Part of Speech from the sense above it.
  • The Reversals field has been moved up just below the Gloss field. – This is to make it easier to track which “translation equivalents” are in each field and to ensure consistency between them when it is desired.
