+- The C runtime now includes an experimental library for managing
+ and querying ontologies built on top of the abstract syntax of
+ a grammar. Since the ontology is based on an abstract syntax,
+ it is language independent by design. For now the library is
+ only used in the GF Offline Translator. The library uses
+ the B-tree backend of [SQLite https://www.sqlite.org/]
+ which makes it scalable even for non-trivial ontologies.
+- GF Offline Translator now includes a user interface similar
+ to the Phrasomatic. This lets the user to explore the controlled
+ language fragment of the wide coverage grammar. Althought
+ the code is already there, the new release of the app
+ will be postponed to get some of its other features stable.
+- GF Offline Translator now offers glosses and examples for most of
+ its lexical items. This means that now it can be used as a more
+ explanatory dictionary.
