Howdy!

The database has been updated to include the July 2019 LoAR.

There were a few additions to my.cat, catching up a backlog:

anille - see millrind
Ark of the Covenant - see box
bassinet - see basket
bellflower - see flower, trumpet shape
braid of garlic - see plant, onion
costrel - see bottle
eel-fork - see trident and tool, other
gower - see beast, dog
grail - see cup
gunbai - see fan
hares head - see head, beast, rabbit
mitsutomoe - see symbol and alembic and goutte
plum - see fruit, other
pole-cannon - see gun
quince - see fruit, other
razorbill - see bird, penguin
sea-fox - see monster, sea, wolf
spinning wheel - see tool, textile
vexilium - see flag
vexillium - see flag
werewolf - see beast, dog


http://oanda.sca.org/dbdiffs/dbdiffs_1907.txt lists the added, changed, and deleted
records in the database. 

There is an RSS feed of LoARs at feed://heraldry.sca.org/loar/loar.rss that is 
updated daily. 

NOTICE: I have been asked to merge estoile, sun, and start into one heading
as there is only a DC between them. This will happen in the near future 
(meaning next month or so, tentatively). 

FURTHER NOTICE: I'm behind on actually doing this. I expect to have a version 
of my.cat and oanda.db that reflect the changes available shortly for testing. 
The plan is to take it live next month.

All three will appear under STAR, with a new featureset "star_type" whose
values will be "sun", "mullet", or "estoile". Mullets of 8 or more that
are presently indexed both as SUN and STAR will have STAR:sun and 
STAR:mullet as descriptions. Note the proposed name of the featureset has 
been changed.

This is a heads-up to folks who maintain search tools who might need to
make code changes to account for this. If you need more time, let me know.
