----------------------------------------

Below is an overview of changes in Arbil since the previous minor version (Arbil 2.3). Where 
applicable, related ticket numbers from TRAC are included at the end of the description.

** ADDITIONS **

The following functionality has been added to Arbil:


** CHANGES **

These parts of the Arbil functionality have changed:

- CMDI PROFILES: Profiles are no longer downloaded automatically along with the profiles list. They
get downloaded as soon as they are selected, or alternatively all profiles can be downloaded 
through a new 'Download all profiles' button in the profiles panel of the templates dialog. (#1412)

- STORAGE DIRECTORY: When multiple storage directories are detected, the user is notified through
a warning dialog. (#1246)

** FIXES **

Among other, mostly minor, bugfixes, the following issues have been resolved:

- PROFILES DIALOG: After (re)loading profiles, the window would be resized to a size that exceeds 
the screen limits. This has been fixed. (#147)

** KNOWN ISSUES **

Among others, the following issues have been described and will be addressed in future version of
Arbil:

- IMPORT RESOURCES: Resources that are protected and require authentication can currently not be
imported into the local corpus since the authentication mechanism is broken. (#679)

- SHOW IMDI FORMATTED: When showing an IMDI metadata file 'IMDI formatted', the formatting does
not look as expected. (#899)

- PERFORMANCE: After importing (certain) corpus nodes, CPU load gets and stays high. (#929)

- STABILITY: During search, memory usage may exceed the limits of the Java virtual machine which
could cause the application to terminate unexpectedly.

- WINDOWS: The 'Templates and Profiles' and 'Edit IMDI Language List' dialog windows can grow larger
than the available screen space. (#147 and #1584)

- SEARCH IN TABLE: The layout of the input boxes for search/replcae within a table sometimes break
on Windows and Linux. (#1577)

- REMOTE SEARCH: The search interface for remote search is not very intuitive. At the moment remote
search requires two steps: remote searching and local filtering. (#651)

- FILE HANDLING: There are some issues with file handling that occur on Windows 7. These can cause
opening in external file and moving the local corpus directory to fail. (#1372 and #1553)
