Apple's new OS, Mac OS 10.6 Snow Leopard was released yesterday. I installed it on my Mac mini and did some tests with CasualConc. All the basic functions seem to work fine. I haven't checked every single feature, but I don't expect to see any serious issues with this upgrade.
Yet, if you find any broken feature or any other bugs, please let me know.

CasualConc minor update
I uploaded a newer version of CasualConc last week. I haven't had time to work on this for a while, but I got one bug report and one minor feature request, so I fixed the bug and added the feature. The new version is 0.9.9.6.
Bug fix
- crashed when a lemma file is selected and the Lemma mode is on but CasualConc can't find the selected lemma file (it was moved, deleted, etc.).
New feature
- file name (FN) can be selected in sorting Concord results
If you find any other bugs, send it to me at casualconc (at) gmail.com. If the bug is very serious, I'll try to fix it as soon as possible.

CasualConc update
I got a couple of bug reports and a feature request, so I fixed them and add the feature. I also found some other bugs related the reported one and fixed them too. In addition to them, I made one minor change.
Bug fixes
- crash in Concord with Scope of Context set as Sentence in the Database mode.
- corrupted export CSV files from Collocation
- crash in saving Collocation table
Addition
- Reverse Alphabetical sorting in Word Count
What this does (if it works) is to sort words in alphabetical order, but from the last letter to the first letter. So in the normal alphabetical order, a, an, that, the, this are ordered in this order, but in Reverse Alphabetical order, the order will be a, the, an, this, that.
Change
- settings of minimum frequency in Cluster, Collocation/Coocurrence, and Word Count are moved to Preferences
Now you can't set Min Freq. for each table in Cluster and Word Count, but CasualConc remembers the Min Freq. for each tool.
I also got a request to support exporting results in Excel format. I've been experimenting this and this is on the to-do list (I can't tell you when I will add this because I need to figure out how to implement this first). This would probably require you to install a Ruby Module in Terminal (a single line of command). Is there any other people who are interested?

CasualConc quick bug fix
I just found a bug in CasualConc. When it opens kwic result in a new window, it crashes. If you use this function, please download version 0.9.9.3 from the site. I think this was introduced when I made a few changes last time.
If you find any other bugs, please let me know. If they are minor and easy to fix, I'll try to fix them in a day or two.

CasualPConc more updates
Today, I learned at least one person in the world knows CasualPConc exists other than myself. I'm really glad that.
I added a few more features to CasualPConc today. Now almost all the functions I can think of and I wanted to add are there. I might add a function to export results if anyone is interested. Or if anyone has a good idea, I might consider that. But from now on, I'll focus on bug fixing and documentation. I'll update the CasualPConc page on the CasualConc main site in the coming weeks.
I got one request to make CasualPConc be able to handle more than two parallel corpora. But I think it's hard to add that function to CasualPConc. It would probably be easier to write a new program based on CasualPConc. I might work on this once I finalize CasualPConc and if I have time to focus on its development.
Anyway, if you happen to be reading this blog and are interested, please try it ang give me some feedback. Using basic functions should not be difficult. Or you can wait for a few days or weeks until I update the documentation (how to use).
