Re: [Flightgear-devel] 2.10.0 Changelog - help required

2013-01-18 Thread Gijs de Rooy
Hi Stuart,

 I'm currently editing the 2.10.0 Change Log,  which I expect to use as
 the basis for the release announcement text.

Just wondering, shouldn't we market it as FlightGear 2.10? The changelog
is also valid for a bugfix release (2.10.1) and installer fixes (last time we 
had 
a 2.8.0.5 for Windows), so the 0 really makes no sense.

 2) We normally highlight particularly exciting new and improved
 aircraft, but I have struggled to keep up with the rapid pace of
 development.

Didn't the A-4 receive some extensive updating lately? :-)

Cheers,
Gijs

 I'm still re-wording and re-arranging some of the content, but the
 current state can be found here:
 
 http://wiki.flightgear.org/Changelog_2.10.0
 
 I have two asks:
 
 1) Are there any significant features/enhancements that have been
 missed?  (Matthias: what HLA enhancements have been made, and can you
 provide a couple of suitable sentences describing them?  I'm happy to
 wordsmith any text)

- flight-path history on the map is nice, that's one of mine.

- ThorstenB added the capability to save replay tapes to disk and load them, 
which allows nice tutorials to be created

- MP dialog now has a dynamic server list, showing online servers only.

- AITraffic takeoff and landings look more realistic visually, or rather no 
long look unrealistic :)

- route-manager support for loading Navigraph procedures is more robust, but we 
also offer 'default' SIDs and approaches if the real procedure data is not 
installed. This generates a plausible straight in approach and terminal 
waypoints based on the route course, though it may put you into a mountain in 
hilly terrain.

Any more detailed needed about these, ping me. The flight history is very 
'screenshot-able', the other less so.

Good point. I'll do that.

 aircraft, but I have struggled to keep up with the rapid pace of

It did, but it's still behind the quality of many other aircraft and I'm
not happy with the FDM yet, so I don't want to emphasize it too much.

Thanks for those.  For some reason I had completely forgotten about
the first two, despite having used both.

I'll get them added.

Hi all,


I'll translate the annoucement in French when finished.

The languages were - to my knowledge - not synced for 2.10. This means the 
startup informations strings + the changes since 2.8 in the menus are not 
translated. At least not into French. A MR is pending in fgdata for French, but 
it does not cover every change since the source files were not synchronised.

Whoop, that is bad. I'm happy to merge translation changes, will do French one 
tomorrow. Any other volunteers for other languages? Since I only speak English 
it would be better if two people did each - one to author, one to review.
