If you use Send\/Receive, all collaborators must upgrade if any of them do. Please make a backup of your data in your previous version of FieldWorks before installing this one, and make sure you can tell what version of FieldWorks made the backup.  (For instance, you may choose to have subfolders within your Backups folder, one for each version of FieldWorks, such as FW 8.2, FW 8.3.0 Alpha 3, FW 8.3.)<br \/>\nNote that FW 8.3.0 Alpha 3 did not include a model change relative to FW 8.2.8, and there had not been one since FW 8.0.4.  Thus, projects created in any version between 8.0.4 and 8.3.0 Alpha 3 could all be opened by any of those versions.<\/p>\n<p>The main focus of FieldWorks 8.3 has been improving the ability to configure your dictionary and publish it to the web.<br \/>\nThe primary new features in FieldWorks 8.3 are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>One-button upload to Webonary.<\/strong>  Once you have an account at webonary.org, it is now as easy as configuring your credentials, choosing what you want to publish, and clicking a button, to upload your data to Webonary.  To upload a newer version of your data, just click that button again.<\/li>\n<li><strong>New fields<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>Enhanced Etymology cluster: is now explicit about the difference between Source Language and Bibliographic Source.  Also includes enhanced comment and note fields.  Languages can be expressed as list items (new list in the Lists area) or free-form.<\/li>\n<li>Dialect Labels (entry and sense): a new list field to allow you to annotate headwords and senses as to which dialect they occur in.  Set up the list of dialects and their abbreviations in the Lists area.<\/li>\n<li>Extended Note: a special kind of note that allows you to include example sentences as part of the note.  The whole note (including examples) can be displayed in its own paragraph.<\/li>\n<li>Publish In fields for Pictures and Pronunciation.<\/li>\n<li>Restrictions field now allows embedded writing systems.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<li><strong>New version of the Configure Dictionary functionality,<\/strong> featuring:<\/li>\n<ul>\n<li>WYSIWYG dictionary previews.  Now the Dictionary view is showing you (nearly) exactly what you will see on Webonary.<\/li>\n<li>A preview pane right in the Configure Dictionary dialog.<\/li>\n<li>A highlight button so you can see what content is affected by the node you are configuring.<\/li>\n<li>The ability to enter Unicode values in the Before\/After boxes.<\/li>\n<li>Enhanced ability to duplicate and rename nodes.<\/li>\n<li>All-around better reliability and consistency for all configuration nodes, and a foundation that will allow the developers to add features much more easily than was possible before this version.<\/li>\n<li>Enhanced ability to manage custom configurations and link them to publications.<\/li>\n<li>Built-in shared configuration for some of the nodes.<\/li>\n<li>Separate nodes for Minor Entries that are Variants versus Complex Forms (and for Main Entries that are Complex Forms, in stem-based views).  ((In the Alpha and Beta 1 versions, these need to be configured separately from each other and from the Main Entry. In the future, it will be possible to indicate whether they should share another node\u2019s configuration or be configured separately.)<\/li>\n<li>Better connection between Reversal Indexes and Publications.<\/li>\n<li>Publication menu in Reversal Index view.<\/li>\n<li>New \u201cunidirectional\u201d lexical relation that allows you to display the link on only one of the linked entries.<\/li>\n<li>New \u201cunspecified\u201d Complex Form Type and Variant Type, to prevent confusion over items that are non-obvious complex forms.<\/li>\n<li>Stem-based view is now called Lexeme-based view.<\/li>\n<li>Abbreviation and Reverse Abbreviation have now been swapped in Variant Types list.<\/li>\n<li>When an entry has more than one item with the same complex form type, the type is only shown once, with all the forms after it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<li><strong>New configuration possibilities:<\/strong><\/li>\n<ul>\n<li>Option for Senses to be displayed in separate paragraphs allows choice of whether the option applies to the first sense or not.<\/li>\n<li>Subsenses can be configured separately from Senses.<\/li>\n<li>More choices for Sense and Subsense numbering.<\/li>\n<li>Examples and Notes can be displayed in separate paragraphs.<\/li>\n<li>Names of nodes in Reversal configuration have been adjusted.<\/li>\n<li>New default styles available to configure the reversal index differently from the main dictionary.<\/li>\n<li>New node \u201cGloss or Summary Definition\u201d, to more easily configure a reference that could point at either a Sense or an Entry.<\/li>\n<li>Pictures can now have the Headword or Gloss of their sense as the caption.<\/li>\n<li>A \u201cReferences Section\u201d that allows you to group several configuration nodes so formatting can be applied to the group as a whole.<\/li>\n<li>Improvements to the default configurations (spacing and punctuation).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<li><strong>Hybrid view:<\/strong> A new default configuration that is a cross between root-based and stem-based views. This view is based on the work of Bartholomew &amp; Schoenhals&#8217; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sil.org\/resources\/archives\/2384\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bilingual Dictionaries for Indigenous Languages<\/a>1  Some of the key features of this layout include:<\/li>\n<ul>\n<li>Information of greater interest to the language community comes first in the entry; information for academic linguists is last.<\/li>\n<li>Complex forms are presented as main entries (like stem-based views), but it also includes \u201cminor subentries\u201d, to show minimal information about the complex form right in the main entry (like root-based views). There is an emphasis on clearly delineating the different kinds of information in the entry.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n<p>1Bartholomew, Doris A. and Louise C.
