The idea is to give them some time to polish the final translations for the release. During development, they probably don't always update translation within a few days after something has changed. Also upload updated .pot files and make sure you update them if original strings change or get added in the next days. … … 38 40 [[BR]]'''Candidates:''' Gallaecio, Leper, Sanderd17, Yves 39 41 40 == Organize staff match (testing)42 === Organize staff match (testing) 41 43 '''Description:''' [[BR]] 42 44 If possible a staff match should be organized before the release.

After that, you regenerate the translation templates via [source:ps/trunk/source/tools/i18n/updateTemplates.py updateTemplates.py] and the translations (for backup purposes) via [source:ps/trunk/source/tools/i18n/pullTranslations.py pullTranslations.py]. 48 50 [[BR]]'''Can be completed in phase:''' Translation freeze 49 51 [[BR]]'''Candidates:''' Gallaecio, Leper, Sanderd17, Yves 50 52 51 == Translation check53 === Translation check 52 54 '''Description:''' [[BR]] 53 55 Check the translations for "vandalism". It's really just checking if there are any strings that were added in bad intent and not about trying to improve translation quality. There's a script to check the translation files for URLs (TODO: where?), but this task also involves manual checking. Obviously we can't carefully read through all strings in all translations. … … 55 57 [[BR]]'''Candidates:''' Whole team 56 58 57 == Multiplayer lobby adjustments59 === Multiplayer lobby adjustments 58 60 '''Description''' [[BR]] 59 61 * Change the MUC room for the lobby on the server and maybe reset rankings. … … 62 64 [[BR]]'''Candidates:''' Leper, Josh, Scythetwirler 63 65 64 == Prepare for packaging66 === Prepare for packaging 65 67 '''Description''' [[BR]] 66 68 * Ensure Alpha name and number have been updated in [source:ps/trunk/binaries/data/mods/public/gui/session//top_panel/label.xml label.xml], [source:ps/trunk/binaries/data/mods/public/gui/pregame/mainmenu.xml mainmenu.xml], and [source:ps/trunk/source/lobby/XmppClient.cpp#L107 XmppClient.cpp]. … … 75 77 [[BR]]'''Candidates:''' Whole team 76 78 77 == Setup packaging79 === Setup packaging 78 80 '''Description''' [[BR]] 79 81 These are common tasks that need to be done for all packaging on all systems. … … 83 85 [[BR]]'''Candidates:''' People doing packaging 84 86 85 == Packaging: Windows87 === Packaging: Windows 86 88 '''Description''' [[BR]] 87 89 * Complete the steps in [ReleaseProcessDraft#Setuppackaging Setup packaging] … … 92 94 [[BR]]'''Candidates:''' Whole team 93 95 94 == Packaging: Mac OS X96 === Packaging: Mac OS X 95 97 '''Description''' [[BR]] 96 98 * Complete the steps in [ReleaseProcessDraft#Setuppackaging Setup packaging] … … 110 112 [[BR]]'''Candidates:''' Historicbruno, Wraitii 111 113 112 == Package testing: Linux114 === Package testing: Linux 113 115 '''Description''' [[BR]] 114 116 * Delete `~/.cache/0ad` … … 119 121 [[BR]]'''Candidates:''' Whole team 120 122 121 == Package testing: Mac OS X123 === Package testing: Mac OS X 122 124 '''Description''' [[BR]] 123 125 * Delete `~/Library/Caches/0ad/` … … 130 132 [[BR]]'''Candidates:''' Whole team 131 133 132 == Package testing: Windows134 === Package testing: Windows 133 135 '''Description''' [[BR]] 134 136 * Delete `%localappdata%\0ad\cache` … … 142 144 [[BR]]'''Candidates:''' Whole team 143 145 144 == Upload to Sourceforge146 === Upload to Sourceforge 145 147 After all packages are created and tested, they can be uploaded to sourceforge. 146 148 {{{ … … 150 152 [[BR]]'''Candidates:''' Philip 151 153 152 == Write release announcement154 === Write release announcement 153 155 '''Description''' [[BR]] 154 156 * Write a release announcement that will be published on the website and other places like Moddb. … … 159 161 [[BR]]'''Candidates:''' Jeru 160 162 161 == Create release video163 === Create release video 162 164 '''Description''' [[BR]] 163 165 An Alpha release video showcases the new features, content and major bugfixes of this version.
