After months of development, testing, coding and crying…. Virgil UI version 0.0.1b is now available for public beta testing.

This release sees the first public testing of a full-functional, classification and codelist specific editor based on and supporting the DDI Lifecycle XML format (DLML).

Features in this release of Virgil include:

Known issues in the 0.0.1b release that  will be fixed in a future release:

  • Codes or languages cannot be removed once added.
  • New CodeSchemes cannot be added manually, only when importing from CSV.
Also new is an updated version of the standalone CSV to DDI converter tool that fixes some outstanding bugs in multilingual imports and corrects a few mistakes when writing the DLML.
