Version 0.2.8 – CSS Sprites

by Leave a Comment

The new version adds experimental support for CSS sprites. This reduces the page load times (when applicable) and improves the Google’s page speed and Yahoo’s Yslow scores. There is also a set of back-end code which allows sprites to be created to fit one’s needs (if you have only six flags and not 40, why use a 12k image?). This is not yet available – but we can give the correct files to anyone who needs them, just contact us or comment on this post. We would also like to specially thank Marek Fišer for his help with the css which allowed us to get rid of the now useless blank.gif, not only in the css files but also in the translation interface.

A few bugs were fixed in this version, ranging from using livewriter to the problem with returning to the original language in the widget, the change log is your friend here.

Another request – please use our trac (trac.transposh.org) to file bugs, this helps us (and you) get better responses and tracking on bugs progress, and also allows us to avoid duplicate work.

We hope you’ll enjoy this release.

CSS sprites coming

by 3 Comments

The next version, which is coming at the end of next week will include support for css sprites for the flag widget. This have advantages in terms of speed and number of requests made to the web server. The code is already active on this site and we would appreciate that you let us know of any issues you encounter on the client side (non standard browsers – IE6, etc).

Anyone that want to take the code for a spin, is more than welcomed to contact us to get the pre-release code.

Version 0.2.7 – Iranian “elections”

by 5 Comments

Thanks to the latest Iranian elections google have added Persian support to google translate, We have decided to follow suit. If you want – you are now able to have your wordpress site translated to Farsi or from Farsi. Just go to the administrative interface and add this language, its that simple. Nothing else is new, yet.

Version 0.2.6 – Regressions begone

by 2 Comments

You might notice there was no announcement about 0.2.5. The reason for that was quite simple as the first regression bug was discovered before we were able to post the announcement. Those two version aimed to fix some problem with url replacements happening with different language and we hope that 0.2.6 will nail that. We would like to thank all of those who reported bugs and helped with testing. And we hope we’ll have less and less of those quick fix releases in the future.

Version 0.2.4 – Welcome wordpress 2.8!

by 5 Comments

This new release welcomed the coming release of the new wordpress 2.8. This release includes support for the scripts at bottom feature of 2.8 which will enable your pages to load faster and get higher scores with yahoo’s Yslow. Also included are tons of bug fixes, most notable is the fix for themes that didn’t work and we would like to thank Karl for his help in pointing me to the right direction. We would also like to thank Mike for his help in debugging a problem with prefixes which prevented history and statistics from working correctly. Also to note is that foreign language RSS feeds should work now.

We hope you’ll enjoy this release – and as always – we enjoy hearing your opinions
