• gradually expanded three main functions

(2015–2017)

ideas for future updates

Transliteration

• repair scheme-detection functionality
• give user more fine-grained control over virāma-avoidance (i.e., which letter combinations)
• add number-exclusion option to transliteration
• add encoding-standardization function to front-end
• add alphabetization function to front-end

Meter

• improve partial meter identification: samavṛtta, ardhasamavṛtta, jāti
• add TSV summary output options for meter identification
• implement metrical material detection (maybe)

Splitting

• fix small bug: Splitter 2018 cuts off buffer-final numbers
• migrate Splitter 2018 server to Digital Ocean (maybe)
• refactor Splitter 2018 server to improve response time (maybe)

General

• add progress bar to estimate processing time
• continue cleaning up code and improving documentation
• implement more comprehensive testing with pytest
