BlueGriffon^TM

I'm almost done with the CSS Pro Editor add-on. It will be sent to Platinum Offer Subscribers on monday, if everything goes well in the mean time.

Important note: BlueGriffon 1.0 has a bug related to the serialization of stylesheets when a @charset rule is present at the beginning of the stylesheet and that bug also affects the CSS Pro Editor add-on. This bug will be fixed in BlueGriffon 1.1.

Since I am working on the last showstopper bugs for 1.0, here are new daily builds for BlueGriffon.

WARNING: I made important changes to the locales and you must delete your BlueGriffon's user profile before launching these new builds.

BlueGriffon Add-ons Platinum Offer will end 26-apr-2011 because of BlueGriffon 1.0 approaching.

I have update/revamped my old Selectors Builder code. Here's a screenshot of the result... It's not perfectly ironed yet but let me tell you it's bidirectional: if you build a selector using the controls, you'll see the textbox at the top of the dialog updated; and if you edit that textbox's content and type your selector by hand, you'll see the individual sequence's boxes appear in the dialog

People, the number of bugs on my radar is shrinking at fast pace and if everything goes well, the release of BlueGriffon 1.0PR is planned for tuesday 26 or wednesday 27 april. That's only a high probability, not a certainty. Watch this blog.

For the time being, we have four locales ready: en-US, fr-FR, zh-CN and es-ES. That's already good but more would be even better!

pt-PT is not ok any more since I haven't heard from the maintainer since the first days of february... If you want BlueGriffon to be localized in your language, please read the following guidelines and jump in! As an approximation, I originally wrote BlueGriffon entirely in english and the fr-FR localization took me exactly two hours and a half.. I did it fast, you should probably bet on 3 hours. Still, it's really easy to do, there's really no major skills required. If you can translate from english or french into your own language, that's all you need!

In the following tables, green lines represent a locale up-to-date ; a yellow line represents a locale that hit at least once a public release of BlueGriffon but does not seem to be maintained any more ; an orange line represents a locale that is not maintained at all, the bug exists but no contribution was ever made. Locales without an existing bug are of course not listed.

If you plan to update pt-PT or work on a new locale for BlueGriffon 1.0 Preview Release, please note that the patch must be attached to the bug before the 23rd of April. If you submit your patch between the 24th and the release day, I can't promise your locale will be included in the release...
