OmegaT patches partially ported to OmegaT 5.8 and 6.0

Patches to run Cyclotis in OmegaT were regularly updated up to OmegaT 5.6 and worked correctly with 5.7.1 ;
but later some internal changes in OmegaT (coming from me, so I will not criticise anybody) implies an incompatibility with them.

Port to the new API is not easy but is progressing. Today I publish a partial port to 5.8, also working with 6.0 (but not yet with 6.1 / master).

Actually I did not port the project mode nor some features from TM mode - you can already use them in the matches pane but not yet in tm/auto nor in the search screen. This does not mean that the idea is abandonned but that I change my strategy: considering the fact that nobody tested the previous patches outside DGT, I will try with a smaller set of patches and consider the more complex ones later. You may notice that the not ported patches are the ones which differ from version 2 and version 3 of the previous set: I will decide which ones are better after the simplest patches can be sent to the core team.

If you want to test Cyclotis plugin, I continue to recommend to use patched OmegaT 4.3 or DGT-OmegaT which contain the most complete plugin. That said if you absolutely want to start from a recent release of OmegaT, I also prepare now binaries which you can install over an existing release:

OmegaT 5.8 OmegaT 6.0

I don't publish full version because OmegaT 5.8 and 6.0 are not officially published and may continue to receive updates, in particular of the documentation: I would not like that you receive a documentation which is not up to date because you used my patched version instead.

That said, the binary releases are rebuilt from time to time based on the last contents of OmegaT's github (not on the nightly builds!). Unless there is a significant change, they will be published directly in this post (replacing the links, and without any notification) rather than in a new one. Last change on 2023-JULY-14.

If you find any kind of error in the patches or the binary release, this post is iopen for comments and your feedback is welcome.
