Package Downloads
SIL.Lift

SIL.Lift contains classes for reading and writing Lexicon Interchange FormaT (LIFT) data. This assembly currently supports LIFT 0.13.
SIL.DictionaryServices

SIL.DictionaryServices contains classes for defining a simple lexical model that can be used across applications.
SIL.Archiving

SIL.Archiving contains classes for archiving data to REAP and IMDI.
SIL.Windows.Forms

SIL.Windows.Forms contains Windows Forms classes for UI elements (controls and dialogs) that are commonly used across various SIL applications. SIL.Windows.Forms is similar to SIL.Core in that it does not contain classes that are specific to any domain.
SIL.LCModel

The liblcm library is the core FieldWorks model for linguistic analyses of languages. Tools in this library provide the ability to store and interact with language and culture data, including anthropological, text corpus, and linguistics data. SIL.LCModel is the main library.

Changes since version 16.2.0

Added:
- [SIL.Core.Clearshare] Added new classes MetadataCore, CreativeCommonsLicenseInfo, and CustomLicenseInfo; these are Winforms-free base versions of the classes Metadata, CreativeCommonsLicense, and CustomLicense.
- [SIL.Core.Clearshare and SIL.Windows.Forms.Clearshare] Added LicenseUtils and LicenseWithImageUtils to handle the FromXmp method for creating a license. LicenseUtils constructs a bare license object that is Winforms-independent; LicenseWithImageUtils constructs a Winforms-dependent license object with access to license images.
- [SIL.Core.Clearshare] New methods "GetIsStringAvailableForLangId" and "GetDynamicStringOrEnglish" were added to Localizer for use in LicenseInfo's "GetBestLicenseTranslation" method, to remove LicenseInfo's L10NSharp dependency.
- [SIL.Windows.Forms.Clearshare] New ILicenseWithImage interface handles "GetImage" method for Winforms-dependent licenses, implemented in CreativeCommonsLicense and CustomLicense, and formerly included in LicenseInfo.
- [SIL.Core.Clearshare] New tests MetadataBareTests are based on previous MetadataTests in SIL.Windows.Forms.Clearshare. The tests were updated to use ImageSharp instead of Winforms for handling images.

Fixed:
- [SIL.DictionaryServices] Fix memory leak in LiftWriter
- [SIL.WritingSystems] Fix IetfLanguageTag.GetGeneralCode to handle cases when zh-CN or zh-TW is a prefix and not the whole string.
- [SIL.WritingSystems] More fixes to consistently use 繁体中文 and 简体中文 for Traditional and Simplified Chinese native language names, and Chinese (Traditional) and Chinese (Simplified) for their English names.
- [SIL.Windows.Forms] Prevent BetterLabel from responding to OnTextChanged when it has been disposed.
- [SIL.Windows.Forms] Prevent ContributorsListControl.GetContributionFromRow from throwing an exception when the DataGridView has no valid rows selected.

Changed:
- [SIL.Windows.Forms.i18n, SIL.Core.Desktop.i18n] BREAKING CHANGE: Move L10NSharpLocalizer from Windows.Forms to Core.Desktop so it can be accessed without Winforms dependency.
- [SIL.Windows.Forms.Clearshare] BREAKING CHANGE: Made LicenseInfo class independent of Windows Forms and moved it from SIL.Windows.Forms.Clearshare to SIL.Core.Clearshare.
- The FromXmp method was moved to LicenseUtils and LicenseWithImageUtils to construct Winforms-independent and Winforms-dependent license types respectively.
- The FromToken method was moved from LicenseInfo to LicenseWithLogo, so it can return the Winforms-dependent license types. FromToken is only used in libpalaso tests and examples, and a Winforms-independent version of this method is not needed.
- The GetImage method from LicenseInfo was moved to the ILicenseWithImage interface, which is implemented by CreativeCommonsLicense and CustomLicense.
   - GetBestLicenseTranslation in LicenseInfo now uses Localizer instead of using L10NSharp.LocalizationManager.
- [SIL.Windows.Forms.Clearshare] Winforms-independent metadata and license functionality of Metadata, CreativeCommonsLicense, and CustomLicense were moved to new classes MetadataCore, CreativeCommonsLicenseInfo, and CustomLicenseInfo in SIL.Core.Clearshare. Metadata, CreativeCommonsLicense, and CustomLicense inherit from the Bare Winforms-free metadata and license versions.
- [SIL.Windows.Forms.Tests.Clearshare] Many tests from MetadataTests in SIL.Windows.Forms.Clearshare were moved to MetadataCoreTests in Core.Clearshare. Tests that use Winforms-specific versions of methods (e.g. Metadata.FromFile) were retained. Added checks to test that the correct (Winforms-dependent) License objects are created when loading from xmp, round tripping a license in a png, or saving metadata to tag.
- [SIL.Windows.Forms.Tests.Clearshare] LicenseInfoTests renamed LicenseWithLogoTests.
- [SIL.Windows.Forms] BREAKING CHANGE: Upgraded to L10nSharp v9. Any clients which also use L10nSharp must also upgrade to v9.
- [SIL.Windows.Forms] Add a reference to L10nSharp.Windows.Forms v9.
- [SIL.Windows.Forms.Keyboarding] BREAKING CHANGE: Upgraded to L10nSharp v9. Any clients which also use L10nSharp must also upgrade to v9.
- [SIL.Windows.Forms.Keyboarding] Add a reference to L10nSharp.Windows.Forms v9.
- [SIL.Windows.Forms] BREAKING CHANGE: ToolStripExtensions.InitializeWithAvailableUILocales() removed the ILocalizationManager parameter.  This method no longer provides functionality to display the localization dialog box in response to the user clicking More.

Removed:
- [SIL.Windows.Forms] In .NET 8 builds, removed Scanner and Camera options from the Image Toolbox.
