Well, you know. It’s September; I should have an exam on Tuesday.

I say I should because my professor said to come and see; if there’ll be too many people I’ll have to come another day. D’oh.

By the way, don’t worry, I’m working on it :)

I have little bad news for translators, erm. I had to clean up how strings were arranged, so, (cough), you may find it a bit messy. Sorry about that, really, anyway the changes I did in the backend, did require it.

I’m also thinking about a way to make easier for you the translation, but I fear I should write something like a wiki system myself (even though we *do* have a wiki, but it might not be enough).

Moreover, I was talking to Hydra a few days ago and we were reasoning around the file format for language files; maybe using YAML might be a nice idea.

The format is so nice at the eyes I even thought it could be the new FP file format (instead of the plain txts with KEY|value|KEY|value format) for the future.

We’re even thinking about a new syntax for the blog entries.

If you know Markdown and Textile, well, it will be something along those lines.

All came from how to write footnotes, and bold text.

You may want to follow the discussion on SPBItalia . Italian. Yes, a bit my bad, but a bit yours, I don’t get any feedback from the mailing list subscribers. If you want to join the discussion you are welcome to drop a line both on the forum and both via the ML :)

Meanwhile, you can join this great new initiative:

Help NoWhereMan buying a lemon

To be classified as a lemon under Lemon Law a vehicle must have a continuing defect that substantially impairs its use, value, or safety

For the Italian people who are still wondering if I’m really so odd that I want a yellow car looking like a juicy citrus, lemon car is the English for catorcio (/cah-tor-tcho/) :D

You know, life is hard when you’re on foot. Even though “I want to ride my bicycle, I want to ride my bicycle, I want to…” *cough* :D

So, if you want to help the FlatPress project (and help a bit me :D) make a donation with PayPal :P

Money will help us paying domains, web spaces; but most of all we’ll know that you value our project (don’t worry, we know you do ;))

Or, at least, the leading developer does :P

So, guys, I’m leaving for a while, taking a rest from the world all (but I’ll still be working on FP ;)).

Hope you’ll soon be able to leave for holidays soon, and if you already did, that you’re enjoying your time.

See you soon!

Here’s another. As I said hope of a not-long-series, but I know myself :/

I’ve fixed a quite important URL input problem, so I suggest to apply the update

Full download from SourceForge as usual, and patch from 0.701 ONLY Get the 7kb patch here.

If you want to use this patch you’ll have to apply the old one before.

Bye!

At last! Just before your holidays, when sun is hot and you really care about everything except posting on your blog (ha-ha), here it is, the new FlatPress has come, with a new logo, a new release and this brand new wonderful website.

I’m waiting for those who are of course going to say they liked the old logo and the old site better :D

Get it from SourceForge

As announced, now FP comes bundled with the only English language (so that nobody complains :P), but you can found here:

• German
• Greek
• Italian

This list will be updated as soon as people sync their translations with the new version; diffs are in this post; of course you can also update the wiki on your own (if you prepare a package, please do it :D).

Yes, we have a wiki.

If you are lazy and you don’t want to start over, we have some packages for older versions listed on this older page.

Be sure to read the guidelines (for instance lang files should be in utf-8)

We still lack a forum… I’d like to use PunBB but the lack of utf-8 blocks me; utf-8 won’t be there until 1.3 (which is still under development — and which looks cool)

Installing a new language

To install a new language just get the contents of the lang/ dir of the compressed archive and overwrite when you’re (eventually) asked.

Then choose the new language from the config panel.

Done. :)

Changelog

The complete changelog since 0.612 can be found here.

Side notes

If you’re thinking this site looks a lot like my personal blog you’re right :D
