String-freeze for 0.8.9 !!

[silene]

I have asked the developers not to commit any patch that would add or modify a gettext string until the next version of Wesnoth is released. Consequently, unless a major bug is found and the release process is cancelled, you can be sure than the current string catalog is the one the next release will be using. So translate and unfuzzy as much as possible, it is the good time to do so.

The string-freeze stage will be quite short for this release, sorry. If you have a huge patch underway and need a few more days, you can probably convince us to delay the release.

Correct, no commits of any translatable string until after release, or until string freeze is lifted due to postponed release.

Code: Select all

As I mentioned in another thread, since 0.8.9 release is under way, I
will announce a string-freeze in the translation forum, so that
translators can safely work. This string-freeze won't be as long as I
would expect it to be; I hope we will do better for the next release.

What does a string-freeze mean? Absolutely no string under gettext
control should be modified or added until Wesnoth 0.8.9 has been
shipped. So, even if it is as small a change as a typo, you are not
allowed to fix it. And obviously, modifying or adding a unit
description or a campaign message is completely out of question.

In case Wesnoth 0.8.9 could not be released shortly because of an
important bug being found, the string-freeze would be lifted until we
are ready again to do a release.

So, please cooperate :-).

I believe i'm on the mailing list, but i never got that... it might have been filtered as junk mail, though (although I can't see why it would be).
