[Merkaartor] Merkaartor 0.18.2 release

[Ladislav Laska]

Hi!

It's been a long time, and as the Windows build is now working, I have decided
to release the 0.18.2, as a lot of bugs have been fixed and there was no
up-to-date Windows binary available. 

The announcement is at the website http://merkaartor.be/, downloads for Windows
are available at http://merkaartor.be/p/download . If you are a package
maintainer, please, do your stuff to include this new version :-)

I know there are still some bugs unresolved, some of them severe (like the
segfaults on upload/moving virtual nodes), but most of them are not easy fixed
and will require more time than I can afford to spend right now, as I'm leaving
for china for a month in about 2 weeks, and I'd rather not postpone the release
that long.

Please, do test the binary packages and report issues with them. I have tested
the 64bit and it looks OK, but I don't have 32bit machine at my hand. If we find
serious bugs, I'm prepared to roll out a 0.18.3 to fix them.

As always, report bugs at the github tracker -- including problems with the
installer.

Also, there is no MAC OS X release yet. Some of my attempts failed and I decided
to postpone this until I'm back, sometime in September. If anyone can offer
help, I'd be happy to assist with problems that might arise.

Thanks and happy mapping!

[Merkaartor] Localization

[Ladislav Laska]

Hi!

I've decided to start some work on localization.

Some works is already done, but incomplete and sometimes the quality is poor (at
least in czech translation).

If you want to help translating Merkaartor into your language, I've mocked up a
short text on how to do it here:

http://merkaartor.be/p/docs/localization

Yeah, it needs improving. Please, do feel free to send me better one :-)

Anyway, do try to translate a few words, and tell me if transifex is working for
you, possibly if you'd prefer another tool (I've researched a bit, and transifex
seems the most popular and works).

Also, if you think the original English is wrong, just drop me an email, I'd be
happy to fix it!

Thanks!
