But OmegaT is is not as notable as Microsoft \nOffice, for example.  For very notable software, the histories are given \nas separate pages and the new features are explained in great detail.\n\nFor smaller software projects, I think the lack of citable references \nsometimes make it difficult to write histories (we have the benefit in \nthat OmT&#39;s history is written by people who experienced it).\n\nSome pages provide a release-by-release time line, whereas others work \non a year-by-year basis.  OmegaT&#39;s release cycle isn&#39;t that clear cut, \nIMO, and one can&#39;t simply assume that every new version NUMBER equals a \nmajor overhaul of the program.  That is why I think the OmegaT history \nshould be date-based or GUI-change based.\n\n&gt; I think it&#39;s important not to lose sight of the fact that this is an \n&gt; encyclopedia entry, not a product presentation.\n\nAbsolutely, and that is why I want to consider only changes that would \nbe apparent to users and that is highly visible or which would make a \nradical change to the way you work in the program.  GUI changes come to \nmind, and the addition of features that other CAT tools have, and \nperhaps also certain filters (notably DOCX).\n\n&gt; Regarding milestones, for me the major milestones are the changes in \n&gt; development management: Keith, Maxym, Henry, Didier, and owing to the \n&gt; scale of his input, now also Alex.\n\nI believe that as far as user experience is concerned, who the \ndevelopers are or were is of little or no importance.  Unless you can \nshow (and cite, grrr) that a change in developer resulted in a major \nchange of direction of development, the presence of a new developer (or \nthe absence of an old one) is unimportant to the history of OmegaT... at \nleast as far as an encyclopedia is concerned.\n\n&gt; By contrast, development has been highly incremental and it isn&#39;t easy \n&gt; to point to major version changes as is the case with MS Office or Trados.\n\nYes.  This would affect the choice of a basis of timeline, be it year \nbased, GUI-change based, or subjective major milestone based.  One could \nalso bundle groups of enhancements together under a single heading.\n\nAnother &quot;solution&quot; is to use periods as headings instead of points in \ntime (i.e. the heading would not be &quot;Version 1.6&quot; but &quot;From version 1.4 \nto 1.6&quot;), which takes the focus away a bit from the most recent version \nnumber in that epoch and focuses more on the period of time between two \nmilestones.\n\n&gt; I can think of technical changes that have been significant for me \n&gt; personally: spelling checking, tag aggregation for .docx, instant \n&gt; updating of glossary entries are among them. But other people would have \n&gt; different priorities.\n\nUnfortunately, this is true.  That is the problem with a subjective \nlist.  My approach would be to distinguish between enhancements or \nexisting features and the addition of new features.\n\nFor example, in my list, tag aggregation would be a mere enhancement to \nan existing feature,  whereas the version at which support for DOCX was \nadded, would be the one I&#39;d mention in my list.  This does not mean to \nsay that tag aggregation is unimportant (it may well be one of the most \nimportant changes in recent versions, I think), but when outside \nobservers think of history, they tend to think in terms of when things \nwere added (not just improved further).  After all, improvements (i.e. \nnot additions, but improvements) tend to happen all the time.\n\nBut this is the purpose of this discussion, isn&#39;t it :)\n\n&gt; I have heard bidi and MT support mentioned \n&gt; (positively) as deal-breakers by some people...\n\nI would include MT in the list because (a) there is a separate window \nfor it (b) it was added in line with trends in other CAT tools that did \nthe same thing (many of them at roughly the same time, too).\n\nI would be tempted to include bidi in my list, too, because it is known \nthat many programs do not have bidi support, and having bidi support in \nOmT puts OmT in a slightly more select group of applications and it says \nsomething very positive about the attitude of OmegaT&#39;s developers.\n\n&gt; Also, some of the major changes have been under the hood: quite major \n&gt; changes have been made on more than one occasion which for the user are \n&gt; only evident (if at all) in the form of higher speed.\n\nThat is true.  It is unfortunate that no benchmarking tests were \npublished for these speed improvements, for if there were, then I&#39;d have \nincluded them in the list.  As it stands, these changes are not highly \nvisible and therefore would not make it to the Wikipedia article (if I \nwas its sole editor), although I would certainly want it to be included \nin a history page on OmegaT&#39;s own web site, because of its importance.\n\nSamuel\n\n"}}
