Launchpad 2.2.2 released!
Written for Launchpad Suite by Matthew Revell on 2009-02-26
The Launchpad team is proud to announce the release of Launchpad 2.2.2!
Let's look at what's new this month.
Now easier to add upstream links to bug reports
-------
If you're using Launchpad to track a bug that you think may also be
reported elsewhere -- such as in a project's Bugzilla -- it's now easier
to find that bug report.
Launchpad developer Graham Binns explains:
Launchpad will now give you direct links to the bug search and filing
forms in a project's external tracker, so long as Launchpad knows the
tracker's location.
To find the links, all you have to do is click "Also affects project"
on the bug report and select the project you want to link to.

slower-loading pages. Read our write-up of what happened in Launchpad

Launchpad 2.2.1 released!
Written for Launchpad Suite by Matthew Revell on 2009-01-29
The Launchpad team are proud to announce Launchpad 2.2.1, our first
release of 2009!
In 2.2.1 we've introduced:
* a unique signature for each Personal Package Archive
* a way to introduce new translators to your team's way of working
* an easier way for projects to export translations made in Launchpad.
Read on for details of what's new!
Signed PPAs
------------
If you've recently installed software from a Personal Package Archive,
your package manager may have told you it doesn't recognise the PPA's
public key.
That's because we've added a key to each PPA in Launchpad, allowing you
to verify you're downloading from the archive you expect.
Our screencast shows how to add a PPA's key to your system:

Help new translators find their way
-------
The ease with which newcomers can make translations is one of the
reasons many projects choose Launchpad.
If you're in a translation team, you can help new translators pick up
the style and rules of the project(s) you're working on by linking to
your translation style guide directly from the relevant translation
pages.
Take a look at our blog post for details:

Upstream projects: easily integrate translations made in Launchpad
-------
Thousands of people use Launchpad to help translate Ubuntu. Many
projects whose software is in Ubuntu also have their own translation
efforts outside Launchpad.
In the past, translations made in Launchpad weren't always easy for
upstream projects to integrate back into their own translations.
We've added a new translation export option that provides only those
strings that have changed since we last imported the project's own
translations. This should make it much easier for projects to take and
use translations made in Launchpad.

Bugzilla and Trac plugin beta now open

Sharing the same bug report and comment history between
communities is one of Launchpad's most useful features.
With the beta of our new plugins for Bugzilla and Trac now open,
projects who run their own external bug trackers can now also
share bug comment histories with Launchpad.
Graham Binns from the Launchpad Bugs team blogs about how to
take part in the beta, if you run a Bugzilla or Trac instance:
