The main change is in place prefixes, prepositions or 'locative' cases. If you add two Custom Tags to the Place object, namely Name.Gender & Name.Plural, then the Dictionary entries can take account of the gender of a Place name and its plurality. So we can have a place 'Pays-Bas' with an automatic prefix and set its Name.Plural Custom Tag to 'Y' and a Place France with Name.Gender set to 'F' to use the Dictionary entries
<PlacePrefix_Country T="au" P="aux" /> to arrive at aux Pays-Basand <PlacePrefix_Country_F T="en" /> to get en France
<PlacePrefix_Country T="au" P="aux" />
<PlacePrefix_Country_F T="en" />
(hopefully next week I'll include name translation to translate 'Holland' to 'Pays-Bas' via the NameDictionary)
similarly in German we can have
<PlacePrefix_AtThe T="in dem" />
<PlacePrefix_AtThe_F T="in der" />
The other major change is expanded forms of the date span phrases. Note that I have removed the leading space from these phrases and so Dictionary phrases that use them have also been changed.
Minor changes are a facility for gender-specific terms for twins and possessive forms the the 'spouse/mate' alternatives.
Also a little tweak to Timelines to have a minimum gap of 30 pixels for events sharing the same timeline 'track' as I found it looked odd when two events occurred 'back-to-back'.
