Sorry for the inconvenience but I found a mistake browsing the help
contents on my translation - misunterstood the word function

> > Since there are only two of us actively committing to SVN at the moment, and
> > we both have our feature changes in, I rushed the feature freeze, and started
> > the release process for 0.4.5. More on the details of that below.

> > First, however, I'd like to announce a preview release of 0.4.5:
> > http://rkward.sourceforge.net/temp/rkward-0.4.5pre1.tar.gz

> > Major changes in this release include:
> > - many new plugins
> > - rework of the code generated by most plugins
> > - added help system (with only some few pages, so far)
> > - several small fixes and improvements as seen in the ChangeLog at the end of
> > this mail.

> > One change in particular I'd like to get your feedback on (if you don't like
> > it, it's not too late to remove it from the release, yet):
> > The "Edit", "View", and "Run" menus, as well as the "Run" toolbar are now
> > always shown, regardless of which part/window is currently active.
> > The "Output" menu was removed entirely ("Flush Output" was moved to Edit,
> > and "Refresh Output" was move to View).
> > The idea behind these changes is, that now the menus will no longer "jump
> > around" whenever you switch, e.g. between a help window and an editor window.
> > The contents of the menus will still change, but the position remains fixed.
> > Does this seem like a good idea, or do you think it causes more harm than
> > good?
> >
> > Of course besides this, please do some testing on the preview release, so we
> > can fix the most serious bugs before the official release.

> > RKWard SVN is now split into the regular development branch, and a release
> > branch. This allows us to continue doing all sorts of changes on the
> > development branch, while only bug-fixes, translation and documentation
> > updates go to the release branch.
> > To work on the development branch, or follow it, proceed as usual. To work on
> > the release branch, you will have to do an additional checkout to a separate
> > directory:
> >
> > svn co
> > https://rkward.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/rkward/branches/release_branch_0.4.5
> >
> > and the usual
> > make -f Makefile.svn
> > ./configure
> >
> > Many changes you make to one branch will also be of interest to the other,
> > requiring two separate commits. If in doubt, continue working on the
> > development branch only, and notify me about which changes are relevant for
> > the release branch.
> > Or you may decide to do all your work on the release branch (minding the
> > feature freeze), and I'll take care of applying relevant patches to the
> > development branch.

> > Translations:
> > Now is a good time to update your translations! The most recent .po and .pot
> > files can be downloaded here:
> > http://rkward.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/rkward/branches/release_branch_0.4.5/rkward/po/
> > Or take them from the po subdirectory of the 0.4.5pre1 release.
> > This time around we will avoid any source string changes between now and the
> > release as much as reasonably possible (i.e. strings may only be changed for
> > important bugs), so you have stable base to work on.
> >
> > Please send in your translations (or commit them to SVN, if you have access)
> > no later than January 20.
> >
> > Also, please make sure to coordinate your translation efforts either on this
> > list, or at least with any people mentioned as previous translators for your
> > language, so you won't duplicate each other's efforts.
> >
> > Documentation:
> > The release branch is open for documentation updates (as those are not
> > currently translatable anyway), and now that there is a help system, there is
> > a lot of documentation to be written. If you can find some time, your
> > contribution would be highly welcome!
