Hallo list After lots of work, we are happy to reach another milestone in the development of the next version of Pootle. This beta release now works quite well on Django. We hope that Pootle admins and developers will try this release and help us complete the last bits of work towards the release of the next version. We dedicate this beta to Wynand who has put in a huge amount of work in the last few months working mostly alone on a lot of the harder Django stuff. Thanks Wynand!
The code base has seen some major cleanups and refactoring, and most of the important functionality is now ported to Django. The changes internally are vast, but there are also some user visible changes: - Brand new look (let us know what you think!) - Several improvements with alternative languages, including the support for multiple alternative source languages (thanks again to Julen) - The edit area now automatically resizes as needed After this release a few outstanding issues will still receive attention: - Reworking of the way files (stores) are handled - Using Django templates - Installation with the setup.py script (which is not working / necessary for this beta) - Strategies for migration - Performance - Improve test coverage - Cleanup remaining legacy code - Translations We are also very happy to announce that this version should work well under apache using mod_python and mod_wsgi. I know for sure that many people will be very happy about this. This beta is probably not ready for production use, but several people are already testing it, so it seems at least usable on some level. Be aware that some major changes could still come before the release, including changes in the DB schema / templates, etc. Please note that Xapian does not work under apache due to some problems with Xapian, so expect slow searching. Feedback on PyLucene under apache will be appreciated. You can download this beta from: http://translate.sourceforge.net/snapshots/Pootle-1.3.0-beta2/ there is no need to install this beta in order to test it, you are advised to run it directly from source. Please check the README and http://translate.sourceforge.net/wiki/pootle/installation_1.3beta for instructions, and feel free to pop into IRC to ask any questions that you might have. Some documentation might still need some updates, so feel free to ask if anything is unclear. Things work differently than the previous versions, so expect a few changes from what you are used to with Pootle 1.2. cheers, Alaa ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: High Quality Requirements in a Collaborative Environment.
