great, the book is updated not long after the new version is out.

btw, is there any changelog for the new book?

thank you

This one says it's the 4.9th edition.

[Tim Richardson]

It's v5 for me (an hour later)

[Niphlod]

yep, books sends out headers expiring at midnight UTC (~30 minutes from now).
If Massimo just updated the book and you have hit a page some time ago, you're seeing the cached version.
Hit CTRL+R to refresh the browser cache and 5.0 should be returned.

PS: finally we have gzipped content available (I guess kindly offered by the new instance on pythonanywere)!!

I had started to code an app for that but parsing MARKMIN fragments is a PITA....
ATM it can only show the "raw" markmin source differencies.

More than enough for those wanting to update older edition translations.

[Niphlod]

It's based on git diffs anyway, but nonetheless I'll work on it tonight, an maybe later we can think to an addition to the current web2py-book app.

kindly hosted by github. http://niphlod.github.com/diffbook/

PS: it's based on a commit-to-commit base, rather that the complete diff between 4.9 and 5.0. Should be enough anyway.

EDIT: wrestling with redirection, in a few minutes all should be sorted out.

EDIT: there we are. CTRL+R for everybody

Many thanks!

I should have "kinda" automate the whole build process, but it's not automatic for every git commit (i.e. the code running it is at home).
If you find the diffbook to lag behind, file an issue on github or send me a PM.

I tried "Table Inheritance" feature, it works like a charm.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Thanks, 

your little app may be customized for translation, 

where to see the source code?

[Niphlod]

Sorry, but I didn't get what you need : are you saying that you'd need the same thing, e.g., for the spanish version ?
Are you basing your translation on a translation of the original ?
e.g. english --> spanish --> japanese

Dont forget to get all the goodies we talk in this group and make another book.

We already have Web2py Recipes book.

Why not a book just for tips and tricks.

I see a lot of invaluable info here that can go to a book like that.

Best regards

António

I like the presentation style of one vs the other (side by side), thinking that if the right side is the form to enter target translation.

just curious how people do the translation for web2py book, I might be able to help english > chinese
