NeembuuUploader v2.4 is arguably the world's first full-fledged software that can be used in Sourashtra language. The translation is provided by one of my best buddies Balaji Sivanath. (See screenshots below)
I just released v2.3 about 2 weeks ago(Sep2). v2.3 was a major update over v2.2. We tested it thoroughly but still somehow 2 bugs leaked out.. They escaped our test because they won't happen to any one in India. They are,
- System Locale Bug - Due to one single missing line in a catch block, NU wouldn't start if the system locale is set to anything other than English. I got complaints from Sweden and Denmark. This was a serious issue which could lose me a lot of non-English users..
- Bug in FileSonic and Wupload plugins - What we didn't know was both these sites redirect to .in domain (Just like Google.com redirects to .co.in) and in other countries, they redirect to corresponding domain. We coded directly against .in domain hoping it will work anywhere. But it worked well anywhere in India but not outside India.
NOW WE FIXED BOTH THESE ISSUES!!
We verified the fix with those troubled users. They were really cooperative. This is why we had to make the next release on such an early date.
What's new in this version?
The previous version's update notification dialog can explain a lot.
Now NeembuuUploader supports 25 filehosting sites!! (previously v2.3 - 12 and before that v2.2 - 6).
Seems like we are following Moore's law by doubling our ability in each release ;)
Added more convenient controls in Upload History window.
We have a new settings window now! This is how it looks.. Not much options for now as we had to rush to release this.
Translations:
We are getting atleast two translations everyday from developers all over the world. One person I am so proud to tell is my favorite Grandpa who provided me with Malay translation ;)
Version 2.4 supports Catalan, Sourashtra, Spanish and Tamil fully. Hindi, Malay and Vietnamese were incomplete at the time of release.
Today morning I received translation for Brazilian Portugese (pt_BR). Another two guys offered German and Greek. Their submission is pending.
I make sure that every translator is properly credited both in the software's About Dialog and Project site.
Check out this gallery of how NeembuuUploader looks in each language.
