One Less Proprietry Format
Date: 9/6/2004
LgiRes, the resource editor for Lgi applications can now read and write directly to valid XML. This means that the "lr8" format that it has been using for the last year or so is going the way of the dodo. However it was pretty close to XML already, I just needed to make a few changes here and there to be fully compliant.

For those of you that edit the translations by hand it shouldn't make too much difference, but I'll have to update the translation instructions to talk about the differences required to conform to XML.

The upside of course is that with the resource file being XML all sorts of tools can be applied to the data. I'm not sure what benifit that will be yet, but it sounds good in theory right!

Just remember: Proprietry == Bad.
