unicode release of ADL workbench


Unicode support as well as some minor performance improvements have 
been 
added to the ADL workbench. See the ADL workbench help page - 
http://svn.openehr.org/ref_impl_eiffel/TRUNK/apps/doc/adl_workbench_help.htm.

There is an english/farsi family history archetype in the test/unicode 
directory of the Subversion knowledge repository to test it on. I 
believe that the Turkish translation of the Observation/mst_colon 
archetype also now displays correctly - it requires unicode as well, 
due 
to the strange history of negotiations in early computing history which 
somehow failed to include a few Turkish characters in any of the 
so-called ISO latin-* character set extensions to ASCII.

We would be interested in feedback from people using other unicode 
languages such as any of the Asian languages, Hindi, etc. Currently, 
authoring of archetypes in these languages has to be done using some 
editor that supports the language, via direct editing of ADL files. We 
will be releasing the unicode version of the Ocean Archetype Editor 
very 
soon, after some further testing, at which point it can be used, with 
native language strings added via cut-and-paste from another editor.

The Mac version of the ADL Workbench is also nearing release, which we 
hope will please all those Mac laptop owners out there.

For discussion of these developments, please use the openehr-technical 
or openehr-clinical mailing lists.
