Braille library - Summary
This group is not part of the GNU Project.
Libbraille makes it possible to easily access Braille displays and terminals : you can write text on the braille display, directly draw braille dots, or get the value of pressed keys. It is compatible with a wide range of Braille displays and can autodetect some of them.

This version provides a new driver for Papenmeier USB Braille displays. The Alva and Baum drivers have been rewritten. Compatibility with Mac OS X has been improved a lot. It also features various bug fixes and minor improvements.

Some work has started on support of Unicode and International Braille in Libbraille. Before to include that in the library, I am doing some tests with an online translator to check that everything works: http://libbraille.org/translator.php Many languages are already supported including Arabic, Japanese or Vietnamese Braille. You are invited to test it and suggest new Braille tables or report any problem.

This version provides some RPM packages and a new Debian package including the virtual Gtk+ display. The windows installer now contains a precompiled Python module. Libbraille can be compiled with Mingw32. The HandyTech driver has been updated with autodetection. There are also many small bugs corrections.
