Next version features...

Just a heads up on what the next version will bring: an "Advice" field in the translation files, which should make a translators job somewhat easier - and incidentally bring the new patch file format up to feature parity with the old. It'll also be using the new filehosts.

Also, as you can no doubt see, I've managed to get the header with the download links to look about right.

And finally, even if it's somewhat late: Please consider donating to the Japanese Red Cross, or any other organisation trying to help with the disaster in Japan. They really need the help right now, because in addition to the massive natural disaster, Japan is quite an underinsured country, and of those who have insurance only about half had insurance against a tsunami. A lot of people have lost everything, and aren't going to be getting anything other than whatever kindness others show them.

New file hosts

EDIT: I've finished doing evaluation etc. Automation is still in progress, but the only real challenge presently is Freakshare, which may be more trouble than it's worth. Hence, future releases of RPGMaker Trans will be distributed via Easy-share, Fileserve and Filesonic. Freakshare may be added to this list if automation is practical.

Stupid damn ISPs...

I'm ready to release stuff.

Unfortunately, I've just found out that the way I was bypassing the IWF proxy (something that the UK has to deal with; overall there's very good reasons for it, but some implementations are problematic) on the file sharing sites I was planning to use no longer works. This results in an upload speed that's being reported in bytes per second, which means I'll have to wait far too long to upload anything, really.

So basically, there'll be a release as soon as I can actually do it. When I get a chance, I'll started poking about with other file hosts, or failing that, other Internet connections.

I would like to apologise to everyone who was waiting patiently, but this is really out of my hands.
