    1993 standard will be kept as an option for at least a year. All

- update to 3.23.0:
  - Fix a problem in the parsing of faulty unbalanced context
    expressions. Thanks to Samuel Thibault.
  - Fix a buffer overflow problem when ~output.length~ is larger than
    ~input.length~. Thanks to Samuel Thibault.
  - Fix an endless loop in the handling of computer braille. Thanks to
    Bert Frees.
  ** Braille table improvements
  - Remove computer braille from Japanese Kantenji as it is not part of
    the standard. Thanks to Kensaku Yoza.
  - Bring Swedish tables up to date with the latest standard published
    by Punktskriftsnämnden (the Swedish Braille Authority) in 2009. The
    table for uncontracted braille was replaced and new tables for
    (partially and fully) contracted braille have been added. Thanks to
    David Renström from Insyn Scandinavia AB.
  - Improvements to Hungarian (added more exceptions) and migration to
    the ~nonumsign~ opcode thanks to Attila Hammer.
  - Fixed a bug in the Ukrainian table that led to wrong translation of
    some uppercase letters. Thanks to Andrey Yakuboy and Bert Frees.
  - Augment the UEB grade 2 tables to resolve an ambiguity between lower
    groupsigns and punctuation at the beginning of words by placing a letter
    sign at the front of punctuation. This resolves an ambiguity between, for
    example, "discount" and ".count". Thanks to Krzysztof Drewniak.
  - Add a new table for /Chinese Common Braille Scheme/ which is a type
    of braille used for spelling Mandarin Chinese. It is a variant of
    the /Chinese Current Braille System/ but has more perfect marking
    rules and produces less ambiguity than the latter. For more
    information see the comments in ~zhcn-cbs.ctb~. Thanks to Cary-Rowen
    and Frank.
  - Updates to the Chinese bopomofo braille table thanks to Bo-Cheng

- update to 3.20.0:
  * This is a major release. Not only in terms of table additions and
    updates but also in the way the tables are written. Bert has replaced the
    ~uplow~ opcode with a more generalized ~base~ opcode. This clears
    up the path for a more generalized handling of emphasis and uppercase
    characters. In the course of this simplification some bugs with
    computer braille were discovered and fixed.
  * For this release Bert Frees has been hard at work to clean up the code
    base. He fixed a few bugs one of which was causing memory corruption.
    Others have contributed corrections to braille tables or even provided
    new tables. For example there are now tables for Tshivenda and for
    Russian contracted braille.
  * This release brings support for many new languages: There is support
    for six new languages from South Africa, Northern Kurdish, Kazakh,
    Tatar, Yakut, Bulgarian literary braille and finally Khmer, Burmese
    and Vietnamese. Aside from that there are also major improvements to
    Afrikaans, Russian literary braille, Uzbek and Hebrew Computer
    Braille.
  * This release stands in the tradition of small incremental improvements
    that make it another fine and solid release. Andrey Yakuboy put in a
    lot of work to improve Russian literary and computer braille. He also
    provided a new table for Belarusian uncontracted and computer braille.
    Aside from that there are numerous improvements in Braille tables such
    as French, Polish and Urdu. The documentation has been improved as has
    the table meta marking the tables whether they are geared towards
    forward or backwards translation. I'd like to thank everybody for
    helping to bring liblouis forward.
