Weeds of El Limon: Changelog
  • Version 0.9a
    • First public release.
  • Version 0.92a
    • Single quotes replaced with double quotes to avoid compatibility problems with old browsers.
    • DTD now includes an external list of ISO-Latin characters. (Thanks Rick Jelliffe)
      • Source code change in MSXML made to support external entities in DTD.
    • Images color reduced, 50% bandwidth reduction with little quality loss. Also made a (lower quality) set of images small enough that all of Weeds will fit on a 1.4 M floppy.
    • More species identified. (Thanks to Gerth Hanson and David Weinstein)
  • Version 0.94a
    • The language of common and latin names is now included in <SPAN> tags to give a hint to machine translators. This doesn't solve the problem of discouraging machine translators from translating english-language common names.
    • We now use style sheets for formatting to avoid serious problems on older browsers (namely Netscape 2.)
    • Major reorganization: each plant is stored in it's own directory
      • This will make it easier to change the numbering of the plants in the next version
      • Images are copied from another directory, making it possible to swap in different image sets for different applications -- namely aggressively compressed images for floppy distribution.
      • Eliminated URLs that end in "/" to make Weeds run correctly off a local filesystem.
    • Version 0.95a
      • Software updated to eliminate dependence on UNIX style paths.
      • xml/ and about/ now use the main stylesheet.
      • File organization changed to enable rsyncing to and from the laptop and server.
