The Hebrew text of the Unicode/XML Westminster Leningrad Codex has been upgraded from the Westminster Hebrew Institute (WHI) text of 20 October 2006, from the WHI Morphology Database version 4.7. The new text eliminates the vowelization of ketib variants to be in agreement with the Leningrad Codex. This change produces the many differences in vowels shown in the Differences supplement.

Because this text upgrade follows yesterday's site upgrade so closely, yesterday's version of 1 Dec 2006 will not be included in the previous versions archive.

Please report any problems you encounter and revert to the previous version (19 Oct 2006) if necessary.
