Hi list

New versions of the Translate toolkit and of Pootle were released
yesterday. The announcement for the toolkit is in a separate mail on the
translate-devel list (and the translate-announce list).

This is a major release with several new features and improvements.
Version 0.10 of the translate toolkit is needed for Pootle 0.10. Other
important changes are documented on the wiki at
http://translate.sourceforge.net/wiki/pootle/important_changes

Notable changes include:
  * Improved page layout and usability in many cases. For example:
    * double click a translation to edit
    * show fancy spaces (double, start, and end of string)
    * Right-to-Left layout for certain languages
    * Language specific display settings for fonts, etc. Based on
http://translate.sourceforge.net/wiki/l10n/displaysettings
  * Automatic detection of your browser's preferred language
  * New statistics interface with sortable table
  * Statistics now display for the "No goal" group
  * Valid XHTML and CSS

  * Pootle now displays comments and location identifiers from the PO
file being translated
  * Pootle now gives a visual indication of fuzzy states
  * A "back" button in the translation page to allow you to return to
the previous message
  * Pootle can display pregenerated matches from a translation memory
(the new updatetm tool is used to generate this)
  * Pootle can display terminology matches in real time from a
terminology project on the same Pootle server. We hope to have an easily
downloadable and installable terminology project for many languages
available (currently we use the GNOME glossaries on
pootle.wordforge.org)
  * Improved plural handling
  * PO or XLIFF files can now be uploaded to update existing
translations

  * Themed error pages
  * Improved POT file with more comments
  * Improved updating from templates (mostly due to improvements in
pot2po in the toolkit)
  * Pootle can now commit to CVS or SVN. Not all configurations are
possible, but this can be useful to people in charge or their own Pootle
servers.
  * Enable Psyco support for Pootle. We would appreciate any feedback on
this
  * Pootle now uses native language names in the default preference
file, although we hope to have the language names translated in future.
  * Dynamically generated robots.txt to enable limited indexing instead
of previous settings that disallowed all robots
  * HTML meta tags for keywords and description. The site description is
used, along with some keywords. Feedback appreciated.

Knows issues:
  * po2ts of the translate toolkit inserts extra spaces and newlines
resulting in slightly wrong Qt .ts files. This could affect people who
want to download in Qt .ts format.

We have been running the release candidates for 0.10 for considerable
time at pootle.wordforge.org and translations for many languages are
already complete. Please update the pootle translations for your
language. Unlike the 0.9 release series, we might be adding some new
messages for 0.10.1 to allow for a few new features and error messages.

The release files are available for download at
https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=91920&package_id=144807

Note that there are new dependencies to run Pootle starting with version
0.9. The dependencies for running Pootle are:
 * The Translate toolkit version 0.10
 * jToolkit 0.7.8 or later (http://translate.sourceforge.net/snapshots/
 * kid 0.9 or later (http://kid.lesscode.org/)
 * elementtree (http://effbot.org/downloads/#elementtree)
 * PyLucene is optional, but helps to speed up searching. It has been
confirmed that Lucene searches can have slightly different results.
Lucene also allows for a special query syntax. I recommend that people
test this for their purposes to determine if they want to install
PyLucene.

The 0.10 release series is also available in SVN under the
wordforge-0-10-branch at
https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/translate/src/branches/wordforge-0-10-branch/

The live documentation is available on the wiki at
http://translate.sourceforge.net/wiki/pootle/index
Not all new features are documented yet at the time of this release, but
should hopefully documented very soon.
