As I mentioned in my last blog post, we’re narrowing down the list of features that we’re willing to consider for inclusion into L20n 1.0 prior to its freeze and release.
Here’s the list:
| Name | Driver | Target Milestone |
| difference between entities/macros from the resource and variables provided by the developer | stas | 1.0 |
| difference between public and private attributes/entities | gandalf | 1.0 |
| default values for hashes/arrays | gandalf | 1.0 |
| globals namespace | gandalf | 1.0 |
| import command | gandalf | 1.0 |
| conditional blocks | gandalf | 1.0 |
| value as ID (gettext mode) | stas | ? |
| string as ID (simple gettext mode) | stas | ? |
| key as string | stas | ? |
| relative referrals | gandalf | 1.0 |
| dependency list | gandalf | 1.0 |
| computer readable comments | gandalf | ? |
| multi-language resource files | gandalf | 1.0 |
| Switch expression | gandalf | ? |
| attribute indexes | stas | 1.1 |
| nested indexes | gandalf | 1.0 |
| Expression errors | gandalf | 1.0 |
| workflow | gandalf | 1.0 |
| resource file syntax | stas (support from: kaze, fantsai) | 1.0 |
| forbid referencing public entities | stas | ? |
| Macro attributes | gandalf | ? |
All of those features represent some feedback item we got and we’re trying to evaluate it ASAP in order to finalize the parser/interpreter couple and work on the workflow toolchain for L20n 1.0 next.
If you want to discuss any of the items, join our localization-20 group and start a new thread for each feature.
If you want to add a new feature to be considered, start a wiki article in L20n/Features namespace.
