gImageReader 3.2.99 (Feb 24 2018)
This is the beta release for gImageReader 3.3.0. The main highlight is a much expanded hOCR editor, and many bug fixes. Consult the changelog below for details. Special thanks to @zamazan4ik and @SantosSi for their valuable contributions both in code and improvement ideas.
There are a number of incomplete translations, so this would be a great moment for interested people to update their translations. gImageReader now hosts its translations on Weblate, so translating is easier than ever!
Please report any issues you might find to ensure a polished 3.3.0 release.
As with previous releases, the Windows builds using tesseract 4 are to be considered experimental.
Binary packages for Linux are available for Ubuntu in the gImageReader-devel PPA and for Fedora in this COPR repository.
