wlc 0.7, a command line utility for Weblate, has been just released. There are several new commands like translation file download or statistics fetching.
Full list of changes:
wlc is built on API introduced in Weblate 2.6 and still being in development, you need Weblate 2.10 for some feature (already available on our hosting offering). You can find usage examples in the wlc documentation.
Quite on the schedule, Weblate 2.10 is out today. This release brings Git exporter module, improves support for machine translation services and adds various CSV exports and API interfaces.
Full list of changes:
If you are upgrading from older version, please follow our upgrading instructions.
You can find more information about Weblate on https://weblate.org, the code is hosted on Github. If you are curious how it looks, you can try it out on demo server. You can login there with demo account using demo password or register your own user. Weblate is also being used on https://hosted.weblate.org/ as official translating service for phpMyAdmin, OsmAnd, Aptoide, FreedomBox, Weblate itself and many other projects.
Should you be looking for hosting of translations for your project, I'm happy to host them for you or help with setting it up on your infrastructure.
Further development of Weblate would not be possible without people providing donations, thanks to everybody who have helped so far! The roadmap for next release is just being prepared, you can influence this by expressing support for individual issues either by comments or by providing bounty for them.
Today, Weblate got new home. The difference is not that big - it has been moved from my personal GitHub account to WeblateOrg organization.
The main motivation is to have all Weblate related repositories in one location (all others including wlc, Docker or website are already there). The move will also allow to better manage the project in future as having it in separate repositories provides less management options on GitHub than using organization.
In case you have cloned the git repository, please update
git remote set-url origin https://github.com/WeblateOrg/weblate.git
Of course all issue tracker locations have changed as well (I believe the redirect on GitHub will stay as long as I won't fork the repository, so expect it to work at least month). See GitHub documentation on repository moving.
I'm sorry for all the troubles, but I think this is really necessary move.
You might wonder why there is so high number of phpMyAdmin security announcements this year. This situations has two main reasons and I will comment a bit on those.
First of all we've got quite a lot of attention of people doing security reviews this year. It has all started with Mozilla SOS Fund funded audit. It has discovered few minor issues which were fixed in the 4.6.2 release. However this was really just the beginning of the story and the announcement has attracted quite some attention to us. In upcoming weeks the security@phpmyadmin.net mailbox was full of reports and we really struggled to handle such amount. Handling that amount actually lead to creating more formalized approach to handling them as we clearly were no longer able to deal with them based on email only. Anyway most work here was done by Emanuel Bronshtein, who is really looking at every piece of our code and giving useful tips to harden our code base and infrastructure.
Second thing which got changed is that we release security announcements for security hardening even when there might not be any practical attack possible. Typical example here might be PMASA-2016-61, where using hash_equals is definitely safer, but even if the timing attack would be doable here, the practical result of figuring out admin configured allow/deny rules is usually not critical. Many of the issues also cover quite rare setups (or server misconfigurations, which we've silently fixed in past) like PMASA-2016-54 being possibly caused by server executing shell scripts shipped together with phpMyAdmin.
Overall phpMyAdmin indeed got safer this year. I don't think that there was any bug that would be really critical, on the other side we've made quite a lot of hardenings and we use current best practices when dealing with sensitive data. On the other side, I'm pretty sure our code was not in worse shape than any similarly sized projects with 18 years of history, we just become more visible thanks to security audit and people looked deeper into our code base.
Besides security announcements this all lead to generic hardening of our code and infrastructure, what might be not that visible, but are important as well:
Slightly behind schedule (it should have been released in October), Weblate 2.9 is out today. This release brings Subversion support or improved zen mode.

Today, new version has been deployed on Hosted Weblate. It brings many long requested features and enhancements.
Adding project to watched got way simpler, you can now do it on the project page using watch button:
Another feature which will be liked by project admins is that they can now change project metadata without contacting me. This works for both project and component level:
And adding some fancy things, there is new badge showing status of translations into all languages. This is how it looks for Weblate itself:
As you can see it can get pretty big for projects with many translations, but you get complete picture of the translation status in it.
You can find all these features in upcoming Weblate 2.9 which should be released next week. Complete list of changes in Weblate 2.9 is described in our documentation.
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:
wlc 0.6, a command line utility for Weblate, has been just released. There have been some minor fixes, but the most important news is that Windows and OS X are now supported platforms as well.
Full list of changes:
wlc is built on API introduced in Weblate 2.6 and still being in development. Several commands from wlc will not work properly if executed against Weblate 2.6, first fully supported version is 2.7 (it is now running on both demo and hosting servers). You can usage examples in the wlc documentation.
Quite on schedule (just one day later), Weblate 2.7 is out today. This release brings Subversion support or improved zen mode.
