New version of the Transifex client has been released
Good news everyone. We just released the version 0.9 of the client with a couple of new features and a security fix. The changes in the new version are:
- Verify SSL certificates. Even though the client opened an encrypted connection
to the server, it did not validate the certificate used. As a result, the
client was open to MITM attacks. The newversion will always validate the certificate first and refuse to connect to the server if there is a problem with it. - Add support for soft links in UNIX systems. You can now use soft links in your
project directories. This would be useful in cases where you have a large
project and you would prefer to assign the localization files to multiple
Transifex projects. - Add support for local
.transifexrc
files. You can now have a.transifexrc
file in your project directory. The entries in the file will override the ones
from the main one. This would be useful in cases you would prefer to use a
different set of credentials for a project than the ones you use for the rest
of your projects in Transifex. - Make the client more friendly to users in Windows. The
.tx/config
file now
supports forward slashes for the paths in Windows, in accordance to what UNIX
uses. As a result, people can now share a.tx/config
irrespective of whether
they use a UNIX-based system (like Linux and Mac OS X) or Windows.
Every user is encouraged to upgrade to the new version.
