The CDSL guides site has been scaffolded with Docusaurus, covering five sections — Using the Site, Dictionaries, Tools, Contributing, and Developers — plus an FAQ.

2025 was a year of expanded reach: the Frisch Sanskrit Reader was added as a new dictionary, the PWG link-splitting programme resolved dozens of compound literary-source references, a large-scale XML transformation was undertaken, and search transliteration handling was improved for the first time in several years.

2024 was a year of deep structural work: a major XML conversion brought the internal format of ten dictionaries into the modern Lbody standard, Monier-Williams received extensive page-link and display improvements, and the Böhtlingk-Roth link-target programme continued with new literary sources.

2023 brought a major revision of the Grassmann dictionary, the formal installation of the L.R. Vaidya dictionary, more than 1,100 user corrections applied, and the addition of a new dictionary — Hemachandra's Abhidhānachintāmaṇi — bringing the corpus to version 2.5.0.

The Abhidhānacintāmaṇi of Hemacandra (ABCH), a classical Sanskrit–Sanskrit thesaurus, was added to the Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries, and the site version was raised to 2.5.0.

The CDSL digitization of Grassmann's Wörterbuch zum Rig-Veda (GRA) received a major revision, deepening its structured markup.

2022 was the first year with a full run of monthly newsletters, and it reflected a project at full pace: a new dictionary was added, Monier-Williams received major manual accent corrections, Boehtlingk's Indische Sprüche proofreading was completed, and high-quality color scans replaced earlier grayscale pages.

A link to the DSAL Pali dictionary was added to the CDSL home page, giving Sanskrit users a quick jump to the neighbouring Pali lexical resource.

2021 was one of the most active years in the project's GitHub history: the Devanāgarī display layer launched, Boehtlingk's Indische Sprüche entered preparation, several dictionaries received extensive markup improvements, and the correction workflow was formalized with new tooling for users and contributors.

Pāṇinian references in the Monier-Williams dictionary (MW) were linked, connecting its citations of Pāṇini's grammar to their targets.
