Latest changes

See News for changes and github for code from now on.

September 2008

• The source of CALS can now be downloaded from the Downloads-tab in trac. Ticket #48
• New Translations-section now up. Can't add translations from there yet though.
• The backend-bits for translating the background into other languages are now in place, see the list of languages with background and all their translations.
• A system for viewing/adding/changing translatoins have been added. See for instance translations in Testarossa. The "greeting"-field now uses this system, there was some bugs connected to that fact (trouble with "greeting3"), these are now fixed.
• A Kennaway-style list of languages have been added, the JRK list.
• An update in the underlying framework, Django, had a very annoying backwards incompatible change that, among other things, made it impossible to add a new user properly and fscked the home-page. I also suspect the same bug made it impossible to add new languages. I've fixed the profiles manually, but: Foxfire and Psychrophile, you might want to pop by and set it up right. *grmbl!* now I have to fix the zillion other django-things I develop also...

August 2008

Scary deadlines at work this month so less spare time than usual.

• Updating Django lead to the dreaded "ImproperlyConfigured"-error, they are hard to debug but now things work again. Meh. Hate 'em.
• Made it possible to choose type of language-comparison: the default is as before, listing all features of every language. Now it is also possible to look at only the similarities, or only the differences.
• Fixed the last (I hope) bugs with the new managers/editors system...
• You can now be an "editor" and a "manager" of a language. This makes it possible for more than one person to edit a language without setting it to be editable by all. Ticket #39.
• Averageness of conlang is now stored with the lang itself, and visible on the details-page. Ticket #44.
• Changed the algorithm for scoring averageness of conlangs. Before, languages with few features automatically got low averageness, now the number of features in the language doesn't matter.
• Started on an "about"-page

May 2008
