[Webcollab-announce] WebCollab 1.71 - Karekare

[Andrew S. <and...@pa...>]

I am pleased to announce WebCollab 1.71 - Karekare, which has been
released a few days ago.  This release has been done with the standard
and Unicode versions at the same time.

This is primarily a bugfix release.  A significant number of minor bugs
have been uncovered and reported by various users (Thank you). The
project list homepage and todo lists have been refactored to reduce
database calls by memory caching of results.  This gives better
execution speed and efficiency.  

The calendar has been reworked by Manolis Stamatogiannakis (mstamat) and
is vastly improved.

Five new languages have been added - Swedish, Russian, Hungarian, Korean
and Japanese.  The Japanese language is in UTF-8 character set, while
the Korean language is in EUC-KR character set.  Both these latter
languages are only in in the Unicode version of WebCollab.

The intention is to merge the Unicode version into the standard
WebCollab as later versions of PHP (with multibyte support for Unicode)
and MySQL version 4.1+ (which has Unicode support) become more
mainstream.  At present, these versions are still too new for the
majority of bundled software packages and hosting providers.

Special thanks to contributors and translators that have put together
this release.
