Welcome to the new Pootle 2.8.0b1¶

Pootle FS¶

Pootle FS allows to synchronize Pootle against a filesystem, or VCS, allowing to handle conflicts and several other situations that previously required ad-hoc hacks.

Development changes¶

• Tests: - Massive improvement in test framework - Coverage increased from 55% to 88% - Moved to tox - Travis caching and optimisations
• Code sanity: - Python code cleanup/linting pep8/pyflakes/pep257 - Javascript code linting and cleanups
• Code polishing: - Moved all commands to argparse - Move shortcuts to Mousetrap - JS improvements, move to React components
• Triage meetings are now held on a weekly basis

Command changes and additions¶

• run_cherrypy has been removed.
• start has been removed, use runserver instead.
• verify_user and purge_user now accept multiple usernames.
• refresh_scores now recalculates user scores and accepts multiple usernames.
• contributors has two new options --since and --only-emails.
• list_serializers has been added to view serializers and deserializers installed on your system.
• flush_cache flushes default, redis, stats caches, accepts --rqdata, --stats, --django-cache options.
• config was added to get, set, list, append and clear configuration settings.

Changes in settings¶

• POOTLE_SCORE_COEFFICIENTS accepts custom settings for user scores calculation.
• POOTLE_TM_SERVER no longer receives the MIN_SCORE parameter, as it was misleading and had questionable effects.
• POOTLE_TM_SERVER now accepts a MIN_SIMILARITY parameter, to filter out results which might be irrelevant. To learn more, check the documenation on MIN_SIMILARITY.
• POOTLE_EXPORT_VIEW_LIMIT was added, with a default value of 10000. This restricts how many units are shown in export views.
• POOTLE_SEARCH_BACKEND was added, to allow configuring the search backend to be used.
