Hosted Weblate provides also free hosting for free software projects. I'm quite slow in processing the hosting requests, but when I do that, I process them in a batch and add several projects at once.

This time, the newly hosted projects include:

• JaMuz - Music management tool
• World-Weather - An Android app that uses the Open Weather Map API
• GNUSim8085 - A graphical simulator, assembler and debugger for the Intel 8085 microprocesso
• Commons Mobile App - Upload pictures from Android to Wikimedia Commons
• Debian Edu Documentation
• Duplicati - Store securely encrypted backups on cloud storage services

Yesterday, the motranslator 2.0 has been released. As the version change suggests there are some important changes under the hood.

Full list of changes:

• Consistently use camelCase in API
• No more relies on using eval()
• Depends on symfony/expression-language for calculations

As you can see, yesterday announced SimpleMath is not used in the end and I've moved to use existing library. Somehow I misunderstood library description and I thought that it works as PHP, what would be problem for us (or would bring need to add parenthesis around ternary operator as we did with eval()). But this is not the case and ternary operator behaves sane in ExpressionLanguage, so we're good too use it.

Anyway if you were using MoTranslator, it might be good idea to upgrade and check if API changes affect you.
