To the visitors most of these changes are not perceptible, but collectively they result into smooth functioning of the entire website.

New version of Date picker tool
Date picker script matured into version 2.0.
The aims which were pursued with the release of the new version are as follows:
To make possible to use Date picker script for those who post pieces of analysis, such as available on this page. Titles of such pages often contain two numbers as e.g. "Verses 1-2", "Verses 3-5" and both numbers must be considered by calculating the date (previous version of the script allowed only one number to be contained in a title). Making possible to use of Date picker script for those who post pieces of analysis means standardizing of setting of dates for all posts which have titles containing numbers and that in its turn makes it possible in some future to automate setting of dates for such posts completely via ExpressionEngine's extension.

Small tool called Date picker
New tool is available in authors' section of our website — Date picker. It is a tool for those who post excerpts from grammars and commentaries. Excerpts from grammars have standard titles, such as "§ 589", "§ 712", "§ 335", etc. Titles of excerpts from commentaries are also standard: "Verse 1", "Verse 2", "Verse 3" etc. These titles should be ordered according their numerical values, as here: "§ 1", "§ 2", "§ 3", ... "§ 10", "§ 11", "§ 12", etc. But instead ExpressionEngine, a CMS which powers Classics Unlocked website, orders titles which include numbers alphabetically, so that we get "§ 1", "§ 11", "§ 12", "§ 13", ... "§ 2", "§ 21", "§ 22" etc.

Analysis assets opened
For some time I was quite busy thinking and experimenting in order to find out what could be the best way of collecting text and code which is produced in the process of compiling a Classics Unlocked edition, distributing it between participators in the particular project, and making it reusable in different projects. The result is Analysis assets section of the website.
