A new release of Tkabber will be released in early Juny: Tkabber 0.11.0.

You may notice that several months ago there was Tkabber 0.10.1 beta1 and beta2. It was never released, so this new release will include a lot of accumulated features.

Tkabber is localized to 14 languages. Those are the languages that currently are looking for translator. The number indicates approximately how many strings are not yet translated.

Catalan: 849
Esperanto: 1233
Basque: 1146
French: 1151
Italian: 640
Dutch: 687
Portuguese: 950

I'm pleased to announce the second beta release of Tkabber 0.10.1.

There aren't new features in this beta since the previous one. The changes are only bugfixes. Hopefully, this is the last beta release before the final stable 0.10.1.

Now is the right time to update the translations. If you want to collaborate updating a current translation, or translating to a new language, but you don't know how to do it, add a comment here and I'll help you to get started.
