1. PROJECTS OR POSSIBLE EVOLUTIONS

# Memorize some user's search preferences (thanks to a cookie).

# Responsive Design: Adaptation of the website in order to fit all screen sizes and types of terminals (from smartphones to connected TVs).

# Implementation of a second search form, based on the dictionary's chapters (i.e. topics or domains), which already exists in the paper version.
This will provide users with a useful alternative search method.

# Creation of several new sections (presentation of the IIR, presentation of the dictionary, brief history of the project, contact form...).

# Implementation of URLs including the search terms.
(Originally, the Dictionary was not developed according to this method, as it was designed to remain reserved to the IIR members. 
For this reason, it did not need to be optimized for SEO. Therefore, keeping a unique URL regardless of the page content seemed more elegant.)

# Possible creation of new terms and definitions, depending on their scientific validation by IIR experts.

# Transforming this page into HTML... although I clearly prefer this old-fashioned and geeky text file. ;-)


2. HISTORY OF VERSIONS

For the few people in the world (including myself) who might be interested. ;-)

# Version 0.1 (08/07/2015):
- First on-line version. The website is developed in PHP, HTML5 and CSS3. It also uses some JavaScript, jQuery and Ajax. The DBMS is MySQL.

# Version 0.2 (15/07/2015):
- Search is case-unsensitive (example: typing "atp" retrieves "ATP agreement").
- Terms including double quotes are retrieved (see, for example, the german term 'Ladevolumen eines "Dreistern" und "Zweistern" Kombigerätes').
- Terms in uppercase are properly sorted.
- Input and output languages are memorized between each search.

# Version 0.3 (28/07/2015) :
- When a term has several definitions, those definitions are displayed in a more understandable way (see for example "a letto fluido").
- A warning message is displayed for old versions of Internet Explorer (IE6, IE7 & IE8).
- Creation of a footer (with a list of authors, etc.).
- Optimizations of the source code (invisible by users, but very important for future maintenance and evolutions).

# Version 0.4 (31/07/2015) :
- Mathematical symbols and line breaks are correctly displayed in the definitions (see for example "entropy" and "fluxoid").

- Source Code of the Dictionary was modified in order to unlock its access.

# Version 0.6 (07/03/2018)

# Version beta (jan. 2019)
