Hi, let me clarify some misunderstandings.

Only the MAJOR.MINOR part of the version is subject of a platform release. Everything that is part of the PATCH part of the version is per-component. You can see this well in the 4.14 development cycle, illustrated e.g. here: https://wiki.xfce.org/releng/4.14/xfce_4.14pre1 Each component has a different amount of patch releases. The same goes for stable / maintenance releases in e.g. the 4.12 series. One of the latest components to receive a 4.12 maintenance release was xfdesktop, see here: https://git.xfce.org/xfce/xfdesktop/tag/?h=xfdesktop-4.12.5 So all translations you did between 4.12.0 and 4.12.5 reached the end-users (depending obviously on when distros do releases and when what is packaged). > But last say we skip to the 4.14 release and then i make new changes to > the translation.

I understand that the website could be more up-to-date. We try to do that via the blog, which is an aggregation of developer several blogs. That's where you get the post-4.12 information. Feel free to read through our release model, maybe this helps! https://www.xfce.org/about/releasemodel Cheers Simon
