Nouvelles de JSesh
L'ancien site web de JSesh utilisait Drupal 5, un logiciel très pratique, mais un peu lourd à gérer. Drupal est maintenant en version 8, et Drupal 5 n'est plus maintenu depuis longtemps.
Pour des raisons de sécurité (et de facilité d'évolution) j'ai donc décidé d'utiliser un logiciel plus simple,...
M. Kaan Eraslan, currently doctoral student in the Ecole Pratique des Hautes Études, has kindly sent me a version of Sinuhe for inclusion in the JSesh library.
Thanks a lot for this welcome addition !
It will be included in the next versions of JSesh, but meanwhile I give you a link to it.

M. Serge Thomas has just sent me a number of signs which cover the few missing codes in the Manuel de Codage. JSesh has now officially a complete coverage of the Hieroglyphica...
