Serge Rosmurduc has just released JSesh version 2.4.15. The most notable improvement of 2.4.15 is the addition of a new sign info editor. It allows one to add information on signs, for instance transliteration and sign descriptions.

JSesh is a free, open source, editor for ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic texts. It's currently quite powerful, and it covers most of the so-called Manuel de Codage.
If you use JSesh, please register. Registering is free, and useful for everyone.
- JSesh is a complete and professionnaly usable hieroglyphic editor.
- It is is definitly allowed to use JSesh for publication. Mention of its use (in the same way one does mention fonts used in a book) would be nice, but is not an absolute requirement.
- JSesh is free: you can download and use it at no cost, and give copies of it.
- JSesh is opensource: its java code is freely available (under the LGPL license). For the user, it's definitly safer, as it means that, even if its present author was unable to work on it, other computer scientists might take on the development.
