WinMerge 2.7.6 Beta Release Notes

November 2007

+ +

About This Release

+ +

+This is a development release of a WinMerge. This is not a stable release. +In general, beta releases are not meant for production use. Beta releases +should be usable in general, but they can contain bugs and unfinished +features. +

+ +

+This beta release is the last beta release before next 2.8 stable release. +Between this release and 2.8 stable release there will be only smaller +improvements and hopefully lots of bug fixes. +

+ +

+Compared to 2.6.x releases there are many improvements done for usability +of WinMerge. One huge improvement is the new localization system, which +allows a lot easier translation of WinMerge. Then there are many improved +dialogs and other features. +

+ +

+Please submit bug reports to our bug-tracker. + +

What Is New in 2.7.6?

+ +

+For a complete changelog, see the ChangeLog.txt in Docs +folder in WinMerge program folder. +

+ +

New Localization System

+

+The most important change in this release is the new localization system. The +new system is based on widely used PO files. PO files are text files that have +both original (English) text and translated text together. As PO files are +text files they are easy to edit. Also there is no anymore any kind of +compiling needed for updating the files. So one can just edit the file and +re-start WinMerge to test changes done. +

+ +

+See WinMerge's development wiki for more information about translations: +http://winmerge.org/Wiki/Translations + +

+In short: PO files have replaced LANG files in Languages-subfolder. +

+ +

Translations

+

+Several translations were again updated. We expect things to improve with +translation statuses, as new system is so much easier to use. +

+ +

+New Croatian and Portuguese translations were added. +
