   - Added new training error counter.
   - Fixed endian bug in dawg reader.
   - C API (thanks to Tobias Müller)
   - New solution for VS 2008 (thanks to Tom Powers)
   - Many other fixes, including the way in which the chopper finds chops
   and messes with the outline while it does so.

Windows installer was build on Windows XP SP3 with NSIS tool. Tesseract.exe
(and trainings tools) is 32bit static build with VC++ 2008 Express, so
maybe you will need Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package
(x86) [2].

All google generated language data were updated (community language data
files were not updated yet).
New languages available from google: afr, aze, bel, ben, chr, enm, epo,
est, eus, frm, glg, ita_old, kan, mal, mkd, mlt, msa, spa_old, sqi, swa,
tam, tel.
Cube data files are available for ita, fra, rus, spa too.
Added experimental equation detector (equ).
There is also new community language  Ancient Greek (grc) - thanks to Nick
White.

Language data files created for 3.00 and 3.01 can be used in 3.02. Language
data files created with Tesseract OCR 3.02 will not work in previous
versions.

Thanks you all who shared your know-how and tested tesseract 3.02 in svn.
Thanks Google for supporting this project!
