Beta is much later. Beta1 is mid/end of May. Mid April is a first Alpha, but that basically is just a snapshot of master that is labeled 4.5 alpha.... (i.e. no feature freeze yet, no ui or string-freeze...) > Andras mentioned once that > all newer languages are coming on the next version. Yes, for 4.5/master new languages will be enabled. I don't know what the minimum translation percentage has been so far to end up in a release build though. > My question is - I've been working on pootle on the 4.4 UI version since > there's no 4.5 UI. Does that mean that will also be able on 4.4 and 4.5? I don't quite get what your question is, so I'll just answer in general: Translations of 4.4 will be copied to 4.5ยน Once this was done, you need to do your changes in both the 4.4 and 4.5 projects, as there will be no syncing in between them (you can focus on 4.5 and apply the changes to 4.4 using translation memory or similar tools however). > Also, a completely different question. > > Is it possible to build a Windows or Mac installer for LO on Linux? Mac: No. Windows: there once were attempts to use mingw to cross-compile for windows, but this never really took off, esp. as it would never work for officially released builds (as it breaks ABI for extensions and the like). And Microsoft's Visual Studio (and all other build requirements) are available free of charge, so there is not really much gain in trying to cross-compile. If you ask because you want to check translations, then stay away, you're basically on your own and are expected to fix stuff that fails yourself, and not ask for help to get a build running. Better build on actual windows (or just restrict yourself to Linux, for checking translations that is more than enough) >I would > like to test it if that's possible. Don't expect working instructions or an easy build. The tinderbox that used mingw to create a somewhat-working version went out-of-service in 2012 I think, so since then code to support mingw might have been removed or bit-rotted... ciao Christian [1] technically the current 4.4 will become the working area for 4.5 and there will be a copy made to continue with 4.4, but that's a detail only relevant for flagging of pootle's checks And depending on how it goes with the pootle-testinstallation/the pootle update, we will have master (rolling, continuously updated and synced with the code), and 4.5. and 4.4 projects (synced when a release is due) -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: l10n+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/l10n/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
