I just uploaded the latest release, that features a lot of improvements. But stability is not sure... let's use & see ! Features improvements are full support to the ASS file format, and the switch of the internal format from SSA to ASS. There should not have major problems, and there should no longer have any deprecated GTK widgets (like GTKCList).
First work on a style editor and a script properties editor hav started too (at least glade designs). Some simplifications in Glade should be done too.
French translation is quite outdated, and the english one is quite bad.
A big update in the CVS while now Orange Slice uses the GtkTreeView model, and no longer the old deprecated CList. The only thing that's lacking are the rows background colors. Comments no longer have a nice grey background to distinguish them easily from the subtitles... i'm looking in the doc to get this corrected, i'm expecting to be able to take full advantage of Pango, and so being able in the futur oto even ave italic comments... why not ? ;)
A lot of bugfixes, and some little enhancements in the way to use the Orange Slice. Play around, you will find those. [ eg: you can change names & styles in the combo box, and if it doesn't exists yet it hads it to the combo ]. I still have my problem with exporting to shift-jis, i think it's related to the cjkcodecs module, i might have a look to the iconv module in the future, it might help...
It appears the Orange Slice crashes when i try to start it with python2.2 ... so if you have Python 2.2 and the Orange Slice crashes, please update to Python 2.3 and verfy if it still crashes.
Well, i've started to think to a new file format which would permit to have multiple event for a single subtitle. This would permit to have multiple languages in a single subtitles file for example. That feature should be greatly appreciated by translators... Of course SSA/ASS import/export files should be working good.
