晴朗星空下的網絡

As I have mentioned in the eariler post, I was working to fix some critical bugs and at the same time putting some more features into the xLanguage plugin, a Wordpress plugin which enables multilanguage blog.

Features Added

• Allows language fallback
  Post not available in one language now can fallback to another language, instead of showing the “missing” text only.
• Allows different default/availability for User and Robot
  For SEO (Search Engine Optimization) purpose, Enable search engine robot to have a different language default and setup, so that for it could crawl the text in all language in one shot.
• Added WP-Cache / WP-SuperCache support
  These are great plugins for speeding up the Wordpress response time.
• Added Feedback System
  An opt-in feedback mechanism such that I can further improve the plugin by observing the usage pattern.
• Added hotkeys for Toolbar (Ctrl-Alt-`, Ctrl-Alt-1~…)
  Tag the text without using the mouse!
• Added Parser error log
  Instead of showing the embarrassing Parse Error to the user, now it goes to a log file, and you can track which page has failed.
• Added new type of parser — Square Bracket
  For those who don’t like HTML style. You can choose which parser to use.
• Allows theme changing for different language
  Different theme could be used for different language, useful for LTR/RTL mixed.
• Exposed more Template functions
  Now you can localize the text with function, get the current language code and so on.

Major Bug Fixed

• Fixed the blocking bug under PHP4 — The XHTML parser was producing repeating HTML when single tag like <xx /> is used.
  The underlaying xml library is very different from each other for PHP5 and PHP4, it does take some time to get it right.
• Attempted to fix the Undo problem in composing the post
  Now using Ctrl-Z and tagging language shouldn’t cause any problem.
• Use of Nonce in Admin Interface
  For better security.
• Fixed the problem with Theme K2 (Read known problems page for modification to K2 code otherwise Widget won’t work)
  K2 can work with xLanguage with minimal changes, see their Issue 569.

There were so many line of codes involved, and it’s so hard to test everything in every aspect. Bug report is welcome, as always.
