*Welcome to the new Pootle 2.5.0*

Finally! Translate has a new baby and we're pretty proud of her. Many
changes have gone into 2.5.0 which follows on from 2.1.6 released more then
two years ago. So many changes that it's quite hard to list them all.

*PS: This release was prepared at the DjangoConf sprint, but took me a
little while to get the email out. The changes from 2.5.0-rc1 to 2.5.0
final are listed below.*

Why so long? Well we had the Egyptian
revolution<https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=%23freealaa&tbm=isch>,
a complete change in UI, and a load of features we wanted you to have.  It
took much longer to stabilise it for you to enjoy.

Pootle 2.5.0 has been in production with many users, so although it is a
new official release, we've had many people running their production server
off this code.  This includes
LibreOffice<https://translations.documentfoundation.org/>,
Mozilla <http://mozilla.locamotion.org/> and
Evernote<http://translate.evernote.com/pootle/>.
So you are in good company.

   - Django 1.3 or 1.4
   - Translate Toolkit </> >= 1.10.0
   - lxml (now a runtime requirement)

2.5.0 vs 2.5.0-rc1

Changes from 2.5.0 RC1 to 2.5.0 final release:

   - Correct all Right-to-Left rendering issues
   - Minor fixes: update translations, fixes to lightbox and some
   documentation corrections

User Experience

We undertook a major UI rework – we now have a clean new translation
interface,
and overview page.

In the editor:

   - We follow a new approach when you edit translations, you will see a
   list of units that meet some criterion.
   - Translation Memory is displayed for the current unit – results are
   from Translate's public Amagama <http://amagama.translatehouse.org/>server.
   - Filters are easily accessible while you translate, so you can quickly
   change these within the translation interface.
   - Context rows are provided in the translation interface when you are
   filtering and these can be hidden or expanded.
   - A timeline is provided for a unit. This provides a history of the
   changes in translation text, state changes, translator and dates of changes.
   - Gravatars give credit to translators and suggesters.

In the overview page:

   - The overview page allows you to drill down into certain types of units
   matching a translation state or with an error.
   - It is now easier to see what work needs attentions, as we highlight
   next actions for your project.
   - With editable project and language descriptions you can supply
   description for projects. These are editable using Markdown, reStructuredi
   or HTML.
   - News alerts can now be sent via email to project participants.
   - The overview page provides an expanded checks page that highlights all
   failing checks.
   - Checks are classified into categories so that more urgent ones are
   highlighted to translators

Version Control

   - Update the whole project at once avoiding slow file by file updates
   - A separate
VCS_DIRECTORY<http://docs.translatehouse.org/projects/pootle/en/stable-2.5.0/server/settings.html#std:setting-VCS_DIRECTORY>for
VCS checkout is where Pootle now does all VC related work - this
   ensures that we can work well with DVCS like Git.
   - Detect new and removed files after a VCS update
   - Management commands for VCS actions [Stuart Prescott]
   - Add new files to VCS after updating from templates
