3.0.9 - 2011-02-28

3.0.1 - 2009-04-15

• Fixed test setup so it doesn’t mess with CMFTestCase’s default layers. [stefan]

• Fixed content language negotiator to work in a virtual hosting environment. This closes http://dev.plone.org/plone/ticket/7794. [hannosch, erral, wigwam]

3.0 - 2009-02-20

• Reformat changelog and update package metadata. [hannosch]

• Changed default value for display_flags to false. In most settings a language to country flag association is not desirable. [hannosch]

• Update tests to be based on a minimal CMFTestCase setup and remove dependencies on CMFPlone code. [hannosch]

• The ITranslatable interface is gone from CMFPlone. Provide our own dummy version if LinguaPlone is not installed. [hannosch]

• Added showSelector API to tool. This API is called to determine visibility of the language selector viewlet. See plone.app.i18n. [stefan]

• Hide the deprecation warning about the moved ITranslatable interface for our own code. [hannosch]

• Added an UI option for setting the content language negotiator. [hannosch]

2.1 - 2007-12-31

• Add missing GenericSetup import and export step registration. [wichert]

2.0 - 2007-08-09

2.0rc1 - 2007-07-09

• Changed the default for start_neutral. We don’t start with neutral content anymore. [hannosch]

• Removed registration of the language tool as an utility. It acquires the REQUEST from self. [hannosch]

• Fixed path language negotiator to work with combined language codes. This closes http://dev.plone.org/plone/ticket/6661. [hannosch]

• Deprecated the old-style portlet_language portlet. It has been moved to the plone_deprecated layer in CMFPlone and will be removed in Plone 4.0. [hannosch]

• Removed the prefs_languages template in favor of a new formlib-based control panel in plone.app.controlpanel. [hannosch]

• Updated some of the attributes on the language tool. [hannosch]

• Fixed a KeyError while disabling country-specific language variants when the default language was a combined language code. This closes http://dev.plone.org/plone/ticket/6605. [hannosch]

• Minor template corrections to prefs_languages. [hannosch]

2.0b4 - 2007-05-05

• Removed the five:registerPackage statement again. It causes problems in a ZEO environment. [hannosch]

• Added missing i18n markup to the prefs panel. [hannosch]

2.0b3 - 2007-05-01

• Use getToolByName to get the portal_properties tool. [wichert]

• Use English as default language if we can not find the properties tool. This can occur when browsing an unmigrated site through the ZMI. [wichert]

2.0b2 - 2007-03-23

• Added Zope3 interface to the language tool and use it for the registerToolInterface method. [hannosch]

2.0b1 - 2007-03-05

• Integration and refactoring into plone.i18n / plone.app.i18n packages. [hannosch]

1.6 - 2007-04-22

• Fix javascript bug that prevented the ‘flagless’ language selection drop down from having an effect. FireBug complained: “this.options is not a function” and indeed it is an array. [maurits]

• Added a ccTLD based language negotiator. [wichert]

• Added note about deprecation of the local language and country addition functionality and the corresponding methods. According to http://dev.plone.org/plone/ticket/6006 and http://dev.plone.org/plone/ticket/6007 these never worked anyways. [hannosch]

1.5 - 2006-12-15

• Fixed bug in request language negotiation. If the tool is configured not to use combined language codes, we have to use the basic language code in all places. This closes http://dev.plone.org/plone/ticket/5804 and http://dev.plone.org/plone/ticket/5941. [hannosch]

• Added missing Chamorro language to the basic listing. This closes http://dev.plone.org/plone/ticket/5836. [hannosch]

• Removed obsolete testSkeleton. [hannosch]

• Changed the native Name of ‘rm’ to ‘Rumantsch’. [jensens]

1.4 - 2006-09-08

• Changed the browser language based negotiation to recognize combined language codes as the base language if only the base language is allowed and specified in the browser. So if the browser requests the site in ‘de-de’ and only ‘de’ is allowed for the site, it is recognized as ‘de’. If the usage of combined language codes is explicitly enabled this fallback is not applied, so you can still have full control over combined codes as well. This closes http://dev.plone.org/plone/ticket/5784. [hannosch]

1.3 - 2006-06-17

• Use the Norwegian flag for Nynorsk. [limi]

• Removed all accidentally added country flags in 16x16 PNG format again and converted them to 14x11 GIF format. Transparent PNG don’t work in IE. [limi]

• Fixed changing supported languages in the control panel. It silently failed for the case of only one resulting supported language. [hannosch]

• Fixed displaying flags in the portlet_languages by using getFlagForLanguageCode. [jladage]

• Cleaned up switchLanguage.py because it contained a lot of I18NLayer specific code. I added the original file to I18NLayer. Also changed .gif to .png in the portlet_languages. [jladage]

• Readded flag for Esperanto, we use flag-eo.png as there’s no country code. This closes http://dev.plone.org/plone/ticket/5547. [hannosch]

1.2 - 2006-06-01

• Readded flag for Basque country, currently we use flag-eu.png as there’s no official country code in the ISO 3166 standard. This closes http://dev.plone.org/plone/ticket/5522. [hannosch]

• Use Central African Republic (cf) flag for Sangho (sg). This closes http://dev.plone.org/plone/ticket/5339. [hannosch]

• Removed the unused i18n folder. [hannosch]

1.1 - 2006-05-15

• Avoid DeprecationWarning for product_name. [hannosch]

• Replaced the available language selector in the preference panel with a new one, which shows both the original and the english language names as well as the country flag which might be used for the language switcher and the language code. It is possible to sort on any of these criteria as well as on the ‘selected’ status by clicking on the table heading. [hannosch] [limi]

• Removed all language flags in 15x12 GIF format and replaced them with 16x16 PNG country flags. These are named flag-<country code>.png. The country codes follow the ISO 3166 standard. The mapping of flags to languages is now more flexibly handled through a new underlying format in availablelanguages.py, which would allow to map the same flag to more than one language without having to duplicate the file as it was needed with the former approach. [hannosch] [limi]

1.0 - 2006-03-19

• Added a Welsh flag. [russf]

• Adding flags for Bosnia and Serbia. Jakub Steiner, you rock! [limi]

• Converted some runtime tests to doctests. [hannosch]

• Fixed Latvian language name. Thanks to Michael Dexter for the heads up. [deo]

0.9 - 2005-12-18

• Fix http://trac.plone.org/plone/ticket/4959 - if the default language was not contained in the supported languages the config form showed a false default language and the form had to be saved again to get the desired result. Now in this special case the default language is set to the first supported language. [hannosch]

• Added removeCountry and removeLanguage methods as counterpart for the corresponding add-methods. Added some basic tests. [hannosch]

• Added start_neutral content language setting. Now you can control if the content should start as language neutral or in the current selected language. [deo]

• Fix http://plone.org/collector/4815 - misspelled i18n msgid [hannosch]

0.8 - 2005-10-08
