- code-level changes
- rewritten as a WSGI application (Bonito2 is CGI-based)
- modular code design with dynamically loadable plug-ins providing custom functionality implementation
- background concordance calculation based on Python's high-level multiprocessing package
- completely rewritten client-side code (AMD modules, code separated from templates)
- improved logging, error processing and debugging support
- improved code documentation
- new features
- added support for spoken corpora - defined segments can be played back as audio
- persistent links for large queries - you can send a link to someone even if the query was in megabytes
- access to previous queries
- interactive subcorpus selection - you can select text types and see how other attributes' available values changed
- interactive PoS tag tool - in case of positional PoS tag formats an interactive tool can be used to write tag queries
- a concordance can be saved in Excel format (xlsx)
- enhanced user interface
- improved user interface and design
- extended corpora information (size, structures, attributes, citation information)
- concordance results contain also the Average Reduced Frequency
- sub-corpus can be created by a custom CQL expression
- on the multilevel frequency distribution page, starting word can be specified for multi-word KWICs
- result shuffling can be pre-set
- a WSGI-compatible server
- Python 2.6 or 2.7
- corpus search engine Manatee, version 2.83.x (2.107.1 is not supported yet)
- a key-value storage
