Toolbox v0.6.0 Release

The Haedus Toolbox SCA is a powerful, script-driven sound-change applier program implemented in Java. It supports UTF-8 natively and has a rule syntax designed for clarity and similarity to sound change notation in linguistics.

The Haedus SCA supports capabilities like multiple rule conditions, regular expressions, metathesis, unrestricted variable naming, and scripting but also allows novice users to ignore advanced functionality they do not need.

You can download the software from this Github page or the Haedus website:

If you encounter any difficulties that you believe are not covered by the manual, you may email questions to support@haedus.org

• Logging to file + console
• Improved logging, including line number and file name for the script in which the error was found.
