[Blindtlk] Announcing DBT Win 11.2 Now Shipping

[Anne Ronco]

Dear Duxnews and Duxuser listers,


Our next major version, DBT 11.2 (build date 2014-1-29), has been released.
DBT 11.2 is now shipping and available on the Web for download.

Those with existing licenses can use Help/Check for Updates (Alt-H-U) 
to download DBT 11.2 and check if their licenses are within the 
eligibility period for receiving DBT 11.2 as a free update. Those 
with licenses outside of the eligibility period can run DBT 11.2 as a 
time-limited trial for up to 45 days.
DBT 11.2 can also be downloaded from our main web site home page:

<http://www.duxburysystems.com>www.duxburysystems.com


The DBT 11.2 download will run as a demo version for those without a license.
Here is a list of what's new since DBT 11.1 SR4:

-- DBT has always been at the forefront in implementing Unified 
English Braille. 11.2 contains further enhancements. DBT now has a 
UEB Learning Series for the UK (these are a series of translators 
that allow learning of contractions in graduated steps).
-- You can now use variable width fonts on the "print side" of DBT. 
For many languages, this is a substantial improvement.
-- Easier support for the new BANA 2011 Formats (used in the United States)
-- Nemeth Code, Braille to Print support added. (see

-- Export from DBT to Microsoft Word via HTML. (see

-- DBT has new software to handle installation and activation issues (see

-- DBT now contains a Czech and a Chinese User Interface (see Global 
Menu, Internationalization).
-- Formatted Braille Files with non-US encodings can now be imported 
by DBT (requires *.bff extension and the use of another encoding in 
the Global, Internationalization Menu).
-- More languages and better support of existing languages (see
<http://www.duxburysystems.com/dbt_new.asp#langs>http://www.duxburysystems.com/dbt_new.asp#langs)
-- Better Embosser support (see

-- Math file importation and braille math translation have been 
improved substantially.
