updated the database with Paul's new 0.5.6 release.
There are some other changes: I switched from using MySQL to SQLite. SQLite can easily be embedded in mobile or desktop applications or even drive a website. I also like it a lot that the database consists of one file only and is very compact: it fits all of the Eldamo data in ~ 10Mb.
I also started work on a demo app for Roman to use at the Omentielva. For now I settled on Java (JavaFX) as I'm most familiar with that. As soon as I have anything that runs and displays some data I will add it to the Github repo (hopefully somewhere in the coming week).

First screen!
It's still enormously clunky: searching for entries by entering a text string for either a gloss or an elvish form, and press search will result in a very bare-bones summary of the entry (form, gloss, stem and category).
But still, hey! Now I figured out how to do the Sqlite -> JPA -> JavaFX plumbing, the rest is easy :)

I posted instructions how to run the application on the Skype channel, but in short: go to the Github repo, download the Ithildin-dist.jar and eldamo.sqlite files, put them together in a directory and run them with java -jar Ithildin-dist.jar
(needs Java JRE v.1.8 installed)

As usual, doing this exposed some minor errors, and those are also fixed (in the .sqlite file and in the separate database scripts).
