  • Concordances
    • New possibility to format Concordances references
    • Use of words from an edition page to launch a concordance (select the words in the page, then launch the concordance)

    • Better protection of CQP annotations saving
    • New URS annotation by Concordances (URS extension)
  • Calling R scripts in Windows fixed
