Howdy!

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

There were changes to my.cat this month:

A new featureset has been added that applies only to STAR. Its values are:
sun
mullet
estoile

SUN is no longer a valid heading
ESTOILE is no longer a valid heading

The following cross references have been added or updated:

bag of madder - see pillow
caldera - see cauldron
caldera gringolada - see cauldron and reptile, snake
chive flower - see flower, multifloreted
escroll - see book
estoile - see mullet
field division, party of six - see field division, other
flower, chive - see flower, multifloreted
ray of the sun - see sun, demi
roasting spit - see tool, other
sun - see mullet
sun, whole - see mullet
sun, whole, charged - see mullet, charged
sun, whole, eclipsed - see mullet, charged



http://oanda.sca.org/dbdiffs/dbdiffs_1908.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. 

The merging of SUN, ESTOILE, and STAR has happened. ESTOILE and SUN are
no longer valid headings.

Everything under STAR has a new feature from the "star_type" featureset. 
The values are "sun", "mullet", and "estoile". Mullets of 8 or more points
will have two descriptions -- one STAR:sun and the other STAR:mullet.

Suns will have "of 8 or more" added to count the points.
Compass stars will have "of 8" added to count the points.
Estoiles will still not have a point count, as there are the odd non-6 estoiles.
