0.5 RC 1 HAS LANDED!!!

At long last, the 0.5 RC’s are ready! We have the Sunbird RC’s for all our supported locales as well as the Lightning RC’s for all our supported locales AND a Lightning Universal Mac build.

We are truly happy to have this finally done. But, now is where we need your help. We’ve been in total lockdown for some time on this release, so we think the actual code bits are OK. But, this is the first time that the localizers (and anyone) has seen the localized Lightning builds.

We need your help to verify the localizations

We are holding a Localization test day on Friday, June 1 from 1200 UTC to 0100 UTC. Please drop into the #calendar-qa channel to help us test the localized builds and ensure that we can quickly ship the 0.5 that we have all been waiting for.

Here’s where to get your hands on the RC:

Thanks to everyone who has helped with this release. And, an even bigger thank you to everyone who has waited for us to release it. Thanks!

Happy 0.5!

Additional strings need localization

Hi guys,
in our release planning schedule we communicated, that we would have a string freeze on the 12th of March. Unfortunately we had to break this string freeze to take the fix for a pretty serious bug.

It’s always bad when a string freeze is broken, but this can happen with tight schedules, when patches for serious bugs arrive pretty late. Please take this as an apology from the developers. We would have wished to avoid this, but we hope that you will be able to localize the additional
seven strings.

Status update (30 September)

Hey folks,
I’m very sorry for not updating this blog earlier, but we were so busy in getting the 0.3 release in a decent shape, that I simply forgot to do it. As you can see from the list of fixed bugs that follows, the developers have been working very hard on getting the builds ready for release and we’re very near (probably within the next 2-3 days) to a first release candidate, which can then be tested on our Calendar test day (see the previous post).

Status of Sunbird localization

I want to give a short update to our localization community.

  1. As of now, we have 9 translations available for Sunbird 0.3 alpha2. These can be found on the Sunbird website. If people from other countries want to make their Sunbird translation available, then please announce your finished localization in the mozilla.dev.l10n newsgroup.
  2. Yesterday we made a major breakthrough for Sunbird localizers. Matthew Willis (lilmatt) fixed Bug 267981 and Bug 281935 enabling localization through CVS and also building localized Sunbird builds directly from the Mozilla CVS repository.

    Because of this, all localizers should read the updated Calendar Localization page on the mozilla.org wiki and make themselves familiar with CVS (if you have not already done so). A lot of interesting material can be found on the homepage of the Mozilla Localization Project. If you have any questions please post them to the mozilla.dev.l10n or the mozilla.dev.apps.calendar newsgroup.

Please note, that the source localization is not available for the Sunbird 0.3 alpha2, but only for trunk and branch nightly builds. With the fixes for Sunbird l10n done, we will now focus our efforts on getting source localization (via CVS) done for Lightning. Stay tuned for more updates!

Status update (07 June)

Again our status update is pretty short as we prepare for some major bug fixes and due to further ongoing discussions regarding the Sunbird/Lightning roadmap and Sunbird 0.3 planning. So just the following bugs were fixed since the last status update:

  • Bug 339670: Fix SQL query for non-recurrent events being incorrect when getItems was called for a range of time with different start and end offsets
  • Bug 335594: Makes Sunbird’s release notes url NOT hardcoded
  • Bug 337848: Only use times for Today and Tomorrow in the agenda view
  • Bug 339509: Day view doesn’t always display the correct day
  • Bug 339509: Wrong day selected in views if selected timezone does not match system timezone
  • Bug 315960: Improve performance when switch day/week views
  • Bug 335643: Make tasks in the multiweek and month views show up even if their start date is earlier than the start of the view

Our localization community should be happy that with the fix of Bug 338349 we took another major towards our goal of source localization, which can be tracked in Bug 267981.

Thanks as always to all the testers, hackers, reviewers, etc.

Sunbird all around the world

It’s only been four days, since we released Sunbird 0.3 alpha1 and thanks to the Mozilla L10n community we already have four localizations (French, German, Polish and Slovenian) available for download.

If you want to be part of this and would like to provide a localization for Sunbird 0.3 alpha1 you can follow the instructions on the wiki. If you need more help on this, there are helpful people in the netscape.public.mozilla.l10n newsgroup, which can help you.

If you have builds for the different platform ready, please post the URLs to these builds in a comment to this blog post and I’ll add them to the l10n download page shortly after that.
