Yes, I will do this as soon as possible. At the moment, there are lots of other changes in the repository and I didn’t yet know for certain that they won’t break anything.

But in general, I would like to say, that you should not use the text dump. It is only there for audit purposes and committed to the Git repository so that everyone can see any changes to the database easily.

I would strongly recommend using the binary database and the Python/Perl bindings. What is your application for the data?

Best,
-Michael
