Second PRI

WE HAVE TO TALK ABOUT THE FOLLOWING:

Strange PLX behaviour  
Mihkalmas-beaivi 593

It seems that the lexical entry Mihkalmasbeaivi blocks the dynamic compound Mihkalmas-beaivi. This suggest a strange bug in the PLX code somewhere, but we don’t know where and how - yet. Needs to be investigated.

Release plan

The December 1 goal has passed, without meeting the targets. On the plus side is that the number of open PLX bugs have been greatly reduced, and Tomi are squashinhg PLX bugs all the time. It just takes more time than anticipated.

The installer was not easily solved by the WiX alternative - it turned out that the Greenlandic proofing tools installer has the same problems as we have.
