We published an exciting release today. It is the first one that includes the work done by new Weblate team members, namely Karen on the frontend and Kartik on the backend. We are excited to have them on our team.
The biggest introduction is the new commit policy. Repo maintainers and other responsible people can now decide if they want to receive all translations from Weblate, omit those in the state Needing edit, or only receive the Approved in review. Feedback and suggestions on how to make this even more helpful are welcome in discussions or as direct issues.
It will still take a few more versions to deliver some eye-catching features, but we are working hard to make them possible; we changed much of what’s behind the curtains. Part of Weblate is already on the newest version of the Bootstrap framework. This portion will gradually increase and will enable grand UI features once finished. This time, it’s just a few adjustments for better visibility in the dark theme.
Then, say farewell to some add-ons. File format parameters were moved to component settings; deprecated add-ons in use were migrated automatically, and this opens the way for more format-specific customizations.
Translation memory gets more powerful with introduced statuses and auto-cleaning. And it wouldn’t be a proper release without a new format supported, so it’s Catkeys format now. Translate your haiku.
All changes are described in the changelog, and the milestone serves as proof of the unseen work delivered.
Enjoy 5.13, and let’s talk soon! All Weblate Cloud users are receiving the upgrade now, and Hosted Weblate is running it already. Should you want any help with the configuration or upgrades, Weblate humans are ready!
