blissdata_words.js needs an update

[hlridge]

Since a number of characters have been added or changed name, blissdata_words.js needs an update, too, to make the references to blissdata_chars.js right.

Självklart!

We can do it in a batch search-and-replace. I made a diff with how the database looked like before and tried to match the changes. Are these the ones?

It seems like this method would cover all existing words' references to Bliss characters. There are, however, a number of changes among the Bliss words, too, not covered by this method.

Here are the definitions of the new words mentioned above: "second_(time)": ["time", "apostrophe", "apostrophe"], "minute": ["time", "apostrophe"], "hour,o'clock": ["time", "degree"]

Now I understand - you have already updated the word definitions in Karp! Then it's easy - just run this command:

python download_and_update_blissdata_words.py

This will update blissdata_words.js from the Karp definitions. I did that now, so the file is up-to-date, but you can do that yourself next time.
