After a long wait we finally bring you the third beta of the next version of Pootle. This release is close to where we want Pootle 1.3 to be.
Apart from improvements to stability, performance and major internal improvements, we also added some new features: - Default server permissions as well as permissions for a language team can now be changed through the web interface. - Administrators are able to delete files from the web interface. - We've added the ability to upload translation templates (POT files), which means you can now finally start a new translation project and manage it from the web interface with no need for using the command line or having shell access to the server. - Through the work of the awesome guys at OpenCraft, administrators can now keep their community informed with announcements (with RSS) for a language or for a specific project the language team is working on. - Users can change and reset their passwords through the web interface - After moving from kid to Django templates, we now have nicer looking error pages. More importantly, it is much easier now to customize Pootle's look and feel and override default templates. - There is a script to import settings from old Pootle installations. Please test this on your setup and let us know how well it works in your environment. You can run Pootle directly from source (an SVN checkout or just extracting the archive). We've also added a new setup.py script so you can install Pootle. Configuration can now be done in the file called localsettings.py which will be under /etc/pootle/ if Pootle is installed. Pootle uses caching extensively to speed up translation statistics and improve performance. For optimal performance (especially under apache) you should use memcached as your caching backend (edit localsettings.py to enable memcached support). Being a Django application, Pootle runs under Apache (mod_wsgi or mod_python) or from the command line. It can use any Django supported DBMS as its backend including the default sqlite and the ever popular MySQL. Starting from this release Pootle is now in tentative code freeze, we are unlikely to introduce any new features or make any drastic changes to the codebase. We'll focus on improving stability and performance. Your feedback and bug reports will help us to finalise this faster than we can ever do this alone. Pootle depends on the recently released Translate Toolkit 1.4, and Django 1.0. (We have minor incompatibility with Django 1.1 in some admin pages. Hopefully we'll find a workaround soon.)
