Version 1.0

Now with Greek!

1.0.2

Download: Paradigmatic-1.0.2.zip (application .zip file, 3.5 MB)

Changes:

  • Extra Aorist/Perfect participle information for select -?? verbs, for you masochists out there.

Bug Fixes:

  • Greek Parser Fix: Correct entry now no longer displays user selection, rather it tells you theactual entry.
  • Greek Parser Fix: Multiple entry drawer now opens when a given word matches more than one entry.
  • Greek Parser Fix: If constraints are selected in the middle of parsing a word, system resets itself to a sensible state.

Known issues:

  • On Leopard Systems, drop-down sheets appear to function differently, and don’t yet work properly in Paradigmatic. This means that the Editor functionality won’t work properly if you’ve got OS X 10.5 installed. Sorry, I can’t promise I’ll have this fixed any time soon (unless someone wants to sponsor development by buying me a copy of Leopard, or even Snow Leopard… ).

1.0.1

Changes:

  • Greek:
    • Entire functionality of Hebrew Paradigmatic extended to cover Koine Greek. This is obviously a big change:
      • Data includes entire verb table for ???, and the majority of info (principal parts) for a number of irregular verbs
      • Viewing, parsing, and editing works as for Hebrew.
      • Grammar Aids include Noun/Article/Pronoun tables, letter combination rules, and a verbal aspect summary (according to Constantine Campbell).
  • Hebrew:
    • Nomenclature can be altered in the Preferences

      • window, allowing switching between Aspectual labels (Qatal, Yiqtol, etc.) or Temporal labels (Perfect, Imperfect, etc.).

    • Qal Wayyiqtol ??? corrected.
    • When selecting sets for parsing, answer drop-down menus are selected automatically to make answering quicker.
  • General:
    • Save disabled when paradigm/entry sheets disabled, to avoid data corruption
    • Only one window of each type (viewer, parser, etc.) can be opened, as the buttons are disabled when windows open, and are only enabled on closing.

Known issues:

0.3.0

Download: Paradigmatic-0.3.0.dmg.zip (1.0 MB)

Changes:

  • Data now includes all standard paradigms (qtl and pqd), I-guttural, I-aleph, and a handful of other paradigms.
  • Preferences Window controls font selection, and can be used for advanced editing/troubleshooting
  • Copy/Paste fixed for entry sheet
  • Entry sheet contextual menu indicates status of meteg/accent/dagesh (this is important as sometimes their presence can be obscured by the consonant)
  • Saving disallowed in entry/paradigm sheets to ensure data integrity (user is notified by a pop-up alert)
  • Data store changed to binary .pdmtc format
  • Data store detected, and if it is absent/out of date it is copied from the application
  • Editor window paradigms now auto-sorted on startup
  • When entering a new paradigm, created an option to auto-fill data from similar paradigms

Known issues:

  • Mac font issues remain a constant source of frustration
  • Data is still incomplete

Download: Paradigmatic-0.2.0.dmg.zip (500 KB)

Known issues:

  • Copy/Paste only sort-of-works: it copies a selected entry (from the entry panel) fine, and can paste it into another entry… but subsequent copy operations do not replace this data. Hmmm.
  • The editor window paradigm table (in the top left) doesn’t sort properly to start with.
  • Hebrew fonts for Mac kinda suck. I’m using Cardo, but it doesn’t cope properly with Meteg characters. New Peninim MT is ok, but lacks accent and meteg characters, so letters that incorporate them bork and revert to the ugly default, which I think is Arial. If you install Cardo on your system, it will mostly look ok, but you might have trouble making out dagesh points in thin characters, or meteg characters on most vowels. Bah.

ToDo list:

  • (Optionally) populate paradigm with relevant data when first created, i.e. if Jussive paradigm created, populate it with Wayyiqtol entries minus initial prefix. This will be intelligent, such that if nothing is found from the same root, it will try other roots with similar irregularities, before defaulting back to the standard paradigm
  • Testing function – compare a user’s input with a the saved version of the paradigm
  • User-specific data – saving user-modifications in an external file, so that any edits will not be overwritten in a future update.
