* Updated documentation.
* Source code included.
* The "Check updates" feature (broken in DF 1.0) is disabled by default (reserved for wizards only).

Dragon Flame is a freeware application based on Didier Willis' Hiswelókë's Sindarin dictionary. It was first released in December 2002. The latest version, Dragon Flame 2.0, for Windows is from December 2003, but there is a more recent Dragon Flame 2.0.1. for Linux (July 2004). It should be noted that much material has been published since then; Dragon Flame incorporates lexicon version 0.993, but the current (as of April 2007) version of Hiswelókë's Dictionary is 0.99499.

There will be no new versions of the program; only Hiswelókë's Sindarin Dictionary will be updated [1], and is of better use as a source than Dragon Flame.
