when you tsv loses special characters, is that when you save the excel file as a tsv, or when you read the tsv into exhibit?

I care deeply about Babel.  It is the only way that I have been able to interface between my Excel data and Exhibit displays. Other Excel->Jason converters create Jason that looks a lot like the Babel-created Jason, but make Exhibit croak. A workaround is to use tsv/txt files, but I then lose all special characters like in "Dvořák", which Babel handled just fine.

I have been using Exhibit for a lot more than a decade for multiple purposes.  I've had repeated trouble with forced version upgrades of Exhibit that have involved losing features, but losing Babel is really hard to recover from.

    Babel has been down for a decade so hopefully nobody cares.  If
    you rely on painter, it is because you are using exhibit v2; you
    should migrate to exhibit v3 which doesn't use it.   Which I
    expect will be easier to do while your e2 version is still working.

    Hello everyone,

    Over the next month we are planning to migrate the Simile Widgets
    server to a new home in the AI Lab.

    As part of this migration process we are planning to retire and
    shutdown some applications. Basically, we are shutting down the
    Java server side applications and planning to continue to serve 
    the Javascript for the applications that you run on your own
    webpages. These Javascript based applications include, for
    example, Timeline, Timeplot, Exhibit, etc. The Java server side
    applications that are being retired include Babel, Painter, etc.

    I expect that there will be no noticeable impact or downtime as
    part of this migration process. It should be completely
    transparent to you. All of your local Javascript based pages are
    expected to continue to work without modifications. We will not
    be changing the domain from simile-widgets.org
    <http://simile-widgets.org>.

    If anyone would like to run a local copy of the Java applications
    that we are retiring, they are fully open source and links to the
    code repositories can be found on their application pages on
    simile-widgets.org <http://simile-widgets.org>.

    If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach
    out to me at [email protected] and we can discuss them.

    Thank you,

      V. Alex Brennen
