When will Paratext 9.5.209.2 be released

Question

I have a user whose language project is now getting an error saying that there was a problem doing word analysis because surrogate pairs being split and that this error will be fixed in 9.5.209.2

We tried to revert back to a 9.4 version as that works for this project on other computers, but that did not work.  When will 9.5.209.2 be released?  Is there a work around for this issue until it is released?  T

Answer 1

We are planning to release Paratext 9.5.109.2 early in January. We talked about starting the process yesterday, but there are too many team members that will be out over the Christmas break.

Answer 2

As for a work around, only way to get around it would be to go to an earlier version of Paratext, like 9.5.101.3.

We introduced a new library that is stricter on malformed Unicode, and this revealed an existing bug where Paratext was splitting surrogate pairs when doing word analysis.
