Hi everybody,

We're now coming up to the gEDA/gaf 1.8.0 release, and we need some help to
make it excellent.

Testing
-------

Please test gschem, gnetlist, and the other tools to find any bugs.  You
will currently need to build gEDA/gaf from the 'stable-1.8' branch of
the git repository:

git clone git://git.gpleda.org/gaf.git
git checkout origin/stable-1.8
./autogen.sh
./configure # etc etc.

You can find more information about the git repository on the wiki:

http://geda.seul.org/wiki/geda:scm
http://geda.seul.org/wiki/geda:gaf_building_git_version

Hopefully I'll soon be able to find someone to persuade to host a
'traditional' tarball, for people who are less keen on git. :-)

Translating
-----------

If you are a fluent in a non-English language, please consider helping
by translating gEDA into other languages.  Two languages that we
currently need particular help to update translations for are Japanese
and simplified Chinese.

If you haven't done this before, the easiest way is to use the
translation web interface at:

https://translations.launchpad.net/geda/stable-1.8

Unfortunately, its taking a while for the translation templates to be
approved -- I'll post a follow-up when they appear.

Note to our regular translators: a large number of strings changed in
the last couple of days, so please do check if any revisions are needed.



I am currently hoping that we will be able to make a 1.8.0 release in
the next 2-4 weeks, depending on how quickly the translations get sorted
out. ;-)

Peter
