Mon, 29 Sep 2014 00:00:00 +0200

End user visible changes

[New feature] Starting with this release, adding a locale to a repository (mostly Gaia) no longer requires releasing a new version of Transvision as the list of locales per repositories is now fetched from a web service maintained by flod, which means that adding new locales to Transvision can now be done at any time (flod)

[Bug fix] Issue 303. Fixed various API regressions and bugs reported by Keko (pascal)

External API changes

[New feature] Brand new JSON API: The old JSON API was replaced by a brand new one providing more services and which is also easier to extend to provide more services in the future.

The API is documented on our Wiki and all users of our old API are invited to update their script and evaluate the new services we propose (pascal)

Version 3.3 Release Notes

Tue, 20 May 2014 00:00:00 +0200

End user visible changes

[New feature] Search hints: If your search for a word or entity yields no result, Transvision proposes similar searches that do yield results (pascal)
[New feature] Dynamic Gaia comparison view: allows comparison of combinations of repositories/locales (tchevalier)
Gaia 1.4 support (tchevalier)
List of views removed from footer to remove visual clutter, all views are reachable via the menu button (tchevalier)

Changes for Transvision developers

[New feature] Rapid installation via data snapshots: There is now a specific install process for developers willing to help on the PHP/HTML/JS/CSS sides of the application only that doesn’t require a full production install, running app/scripts/dev-setup.sh instead of app/scripts/setup.sh will install and launch a working Transvision server in a few minutes and use little hard disk space, compared to the full production install mode that needs several hours of installation because of the downloading of all of the Mozilla code and data repositories (pascal)
[New feature] Continuous integration via Travis CI: Transvision is now using Travis CI so as that all pull requests to the GitHub repository get automatic unit tests launched on PHP 5.4 and 5.5. (pascal)
Large reorganization of code: new MVC approach, strict separation of back end and front end code, some of the views ported to MVC, (more details in the commit message), relocated and refactored bash scripts into app/scripts/ folder… (pascal, flod)
[New feature] Searches on strings & entities can be loaded as json now (flod)
Added file caching library to cache data sets or template. Usage details in commit message (pascal)

Version 3.2 Release Notes

Mon, 17 Mar 2014 00:00:00 +0100

End user visible changes

[New feature] www.mozilla.org support: Transvision can now extract and index projects using the .lang format, the first repository added is www.mozilla.org and appears as a separate channel. Source links and Bugzilla links are adjusted to point to subversion instead of Mercurial and to file bugs in the www.mozilla.org/L10N component instead of the Mozilla Localization one. This makes Transvision more useful for people working on Web localization (pascal)
During extraction time, if a string in the repository was not in UTF-8 (unusual but did happen for a couple of locales), our extraction script would stop and not generate valid xml for the TMX file and a full array of strings for the repo. This was leading to a server error (blank page) on some requests. This is now fixed, if a string is not extractable, the extraction is no longer interrupted, the string is just skipped (pascal)
Lithuanian added to Gaia-l10n (pascal)

Changes for Transvision developers

All Unit tests now use a single bootstrap file to define constants or initialize data needed to run the tests. (pascal)
Updated our README file to add missing dependencies to install Transvision locally (pascal)

More accurate comparison of string length in the main view ('large string' warning no longer has false positives) (pascal)

Transvision jumps from version 1.9 to version 2.0 (and not 1.10), this is partly because the addition of source strings was significant development work which involved data structure changes and partly because I don’t want to end up with a version 1.230 at some point ;).

Wed, 24 Oct 2012 00:00:00 +0200

End user visible changes

Version 1.6 Release Notes

Thu, 18 Oct 2012 00:00:00 +0200

End user visible changes

Thunderbird’s Chat strings are now included.
Mozilla Central is now the default repo for searches (instead of Release)
Removed regular expression searches to unclutter the search panel (Wildcard and case sensitive are still there)

Other changes

Lots of refactoring, the code is now stable enough to experiment with new views such as the Channel to Channel comparison page, with little to no impact on the main search feature for the application. That should allow specific views per locale and experiments.

See the complete list of code changes from version 1.5 on GitHub.

Version 1.5 Release Notes

Tue, 02 Oct 2012 00:00:00 +0200

End user visible changes

Results are more accurate, specifically, identical strings between gecko apps are always shown.
Ellipsis are shown with a gray background, thin spaces with a red background, thin spaces and non-breakable spaces have a tooltip to distinguish them (those changes are mostly helpers for French typography rules).

Changes for Transvision developers

The json api now returns [] instead of null if the search yields no result.

Other changes

There is now a Transvision Beta server at transvision-beta.mozfr.org, if you find a bug or a regression on Transvision, please check on this beta server that the bug you want to report is not already fixed.

Version 1.4 Release Notes

Tue, 04 Sep 2012 00:00:00 +0200

End user visible changes

[New feature] New feature: locale to locale comparison. There is now two locale switchers, the source and the target one. By default, the source is en-US and the target is your detected locale code. You can manually set a different source than en-US so as to compare your translations with another locale. Note that the search results will be limited to the amount of translated strings in the source locale.
Strings in MXR searches are now truncated if they exceed MXR’s field length limits, it prevents an MXR error message and usually gives good search results
The second table of results was showing the translation in both columns, this regression is fixed.

Other changes

The cron job updating the repositories on MozFR server was not behaving correctly and repos were not updated in the last week, this is now fixed

See the complete list of code changes from version 1.3 on GitHub.

Version 1.3 Release Notes

Fri, 17 Aug 2012 00:00:00 +0200

End user visible changes

Strings in .ini and .inc files are now also in results
Non-breakable spaces are shown with a gray background in search results, this is useful for languages like French that have punctuation rules stating that some punctuation signs (?!;«») should stick to the previous word but with a spacing.
Entity search was not searching into all available entities (only about 60&percent; of them), fixed
Experimental: link English strings to a Google translate search
Visual update of search results

Other changes

The suite/debugQA strings in English are no longer extracted because they are not meant to be translated (bug 782243)

See the complete list of code changes from version 1.2 on GitHub.

Version 1.2 Release Notes

Fri, 10 Aug 2012 00:00:00 +0200

End user visible changes

Searches for strings with single and double quotes work ex: Search for “Don't”
The Glossary option now yields results that make sense, when you select it all other checkboxes are unselected, ex: Search for “Bookmarks”.
That option looks for the closest matches for your locale for a word or a few words and lists them all. It also lists examples of use. The main use for that is to quickly check how a word is usually translated by your team.
Perfect Match option now actually works
Changelog page uses the same template as the application

Changes for Transvision developers

json webservice is now available from a normal search if you add &json to your search query (webservice.php is still available so as to not break API consumers, please update your script to use index.php?json instead. ex: Search for “Don't”

Other changes

Simplification of the python script creating TMX files
Overall simplification of the PHP code to remove dead code
