Hello Jean-Philippe,

While translating the latest changes of the manual, I applied all fixes
after a full review by a French user, I thank here. Once applied, can
you tell me where it will be readable online? Or it will be with the
next release only?
The patch: http://manager.accelibreinfo.eu/reviewup.txt
For the 4.3, sorry I am too late. Can you send me a new diff between my
latest "commit" and the current revision?
Thank you! I committed the changes to the development branch (I had to
fix your diff a bit) and they should become visible in the public
repository in the next few days, though we will not create a public PDF
of them at this time as that version is not yet released. In case you
would like to do an update against the 4.3 user manual I am attaching a
diff of the changes since your last update. These would become visible
in the PDF French manual on virtualbox.org once committed.
Thanks again and regards,
Michael
