i haven't had time to check the previous snapshot, and i can't
guarantee that i'll have time to check the new one and update the
various bugfixes/patches to work with 080214-2 during the next few
weeks. However, i will try. :)


IMHO, it's quite important that the bugs in the translation mechanism
get fixed before doing a new point release, especially since this is
one of the key strong points of samizdat which seem to be absent in
things like drupal, joomla and so on:


crosslink to patch 5882 =
bug-fix: separate_translation patch 0.4.2 (vs samizdat-0.6.0.070618-1)
https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?21319 
https://savannah.nongnu.org/patch/?5882


As i mentioned here:

My guess is that some of the other suggested bug fixes could be easily
done as well (maybe they have been, since i haven't looked at 080214-2
yet...), and in terms of making sure that translation mechanisms work
well and robustly, this one:

locale2lang-0.1 - BUG + fix: fallback to language_only extracted from
Accept-Language http header is needed
https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?20932

should probably be easy and safe.


cheers
