I removed the lino.modlib.vocbook package from the Lino repository because it is really a very special thing and had not much to do with Lino. I used it to generate a French course for Estonians. Maybe I’ll publish it some day as a separate project.

I changed the symbol used to represent EndSession from ◉ to ■.

I discovered the Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs block and –as if I had nothing urgent to do– selected some of them as button_text for our TicketStates:

======= ========== ========== ======== ========

Advantage for everyday users is that the content of the Workflow field becomes shorter. Disadvantage for newbies is that they must learn the meaning of symbols…

pytest: command not found

Travis reported /bin/bash: pytest: command not found when building Lino Noi. Yes of course: the pytest dependency must be in install_requires and not in tests_require because we are not launching setup.py test in that case.
