Weblate blog / Objava
New versions, libre projects, and a company!
Long time, no blog, one could say. Let’s mend this and talk all the exciting things that happened for Weblate during this window of radio silence. There are new versions, new plans, new people, and a company!
We care about you. Now even better!
Getting your support and all the information about your Weblate services is now easier.
Weblate holiday present: New app design
After the new website, Weblate also has modern design of the app. More pretty, convenient, and faster loading. Check it out!
Sleep well with Weblate: Secure backups feature
We have the new backups feature in Weblate that is easy to use, secure, and storage space-efficient. Set your Borg up and sleep well with Weblate.
Why already care about Weblate 4.0 now?
Weblate 4.0 will be released in April 2020, but we want you to know about it now so you can prepare for significant changes in it. PostgreSQL run only and Python 3.x only support.
Weblate is changing its look
Weblate has grown a lot since the first lines of code in 2012, and we finally found some time to not only make new features but also create a new website. One that will serve better to the users and visitors, look modern, and represent well. I am not going to describe here all the pretty things of the site, this is a story about the creative process and things that happened around.
Weblate Docker container changes
The official Weblate Docker container just received an important change. In case you are using it, you will probably have to adjust your configuration after upgrading.
Using Trezor to store cryptocurencies
For quite some time I have some cryptocurrencies on hold. These mostly come from times it was possible to mine Bitcoin on the CPU, but I've got some small payments recently as well.
Making Weblate more secure and robust
Having publicly running web application always brings challenges in terms of security and in generally in handling untrusted data. Security wise Weblate has been always quite good (mostly thanks to using Django which comes with built in protection against many vulnerabilities), but there were always things to improve in input validation or possible information leaks.
