    <h2 class="title">CryptSync</h2>
    <p class="meta">Posted on November 2, 2012</p>
    <div class="entry">
        <p>
        So I made another tool: CryptSync.
        </p>
        <p>
        CryptSync is a small utility that synchronizes two folders
        while encrypting the contents in one folder. That means one
        of the two folders has all files unencrypted (the files
        you work with) and the other folder has all the files
        encrypted.
        </p>
        <p>
        The synchronization works both ways: a change in one folder
        gets synchronized to the other folder. If a file is added
        or modified in the unencrypted folder, it gets encrypted.
        If a file is added or modified in the encrypted folder, it
        get decrypted to the other folder.
        </p>

    <p class="meta">Posted on September 22, 2012</p>
    <div class="entry">
        <p>Subversion's design is made up so that you will
        never ever lose any data. But there's one command
        that will do exactly that: <strong>Revert</strong>.<br/>
        Reverting means discarding all modifications you've
        made to one or more files which you haven't committed
        yet.</p>
        <p>But what if you selected the wrong file(s) to revert?
        Sure, TortoiseSVN always asks you first before it
        reverts the files. But as we all know, such &quot;Are you sure?&quot;
        dialogs are too easily dismissed by clicking &quot;Yes&quot;.</p>
        <p>So what if you reverted files and you then discover
        that you shouldn't have done that?</p>

    <div class="entry">
        <p>The revision graph is a nice way to get a quick
        overview of your project. However you can not share
        the graph with other people unless you save it as
        an image and pass the image on.</p>
        <p>If the revision graph is small, then saving the
        graph as a PNG image will do just fine. But as with
        all images, a PNG does not scale very well. And if the
        revision graph is already big the resulting image file
        can get quite big as well. It can even get too big
        to show.</p>

    <h2 class="title">Auto Aero Colors</h2>
    <p class="meta">Posted on April 9, 2011 &bull; <a href="https://tools.stefankueng.com/AAClr.html">Full article</a></p>
    <div class="entry">
        <p>Windows 8 has a new feature where the Aero colors can be
        <a href="http://www.withinwindows.com/2011/04/06/windows-8-secrets-aero-auto-colorization/">
        automatically adjusted according to the selected wallpaper</a>.</p>
        <p>This seems to be a nice feature, and there's even a tool available
        that offers that feature for Windows 7: <a href="http://aura.codeplex.com/">Aura</a>.</p>
        <p>But there are some things about Aura that bother me, so I hacked together
        my own tool which offers that feature.</p>
        <p>Unlike Aura, AAClr is written in plain C++ and doesn't
        use the .NET Framework. For tools that are supposed to be started
        automatically on logon, this ensures that the whole startup time
        doesn't increase by several seconds.</p>
        <p>AAClr also detects changes in wallpapers by catching events
        from the system and doesn't use timers that access the wallpaper file
        several times a second (like Aura does). That means that AAClr is idle
        most of the time and only wakes up when necessary.</p>
        <p>And about resource usage: AAClr uses less than 2MB of
        private bytes - I think that's not too much.</p>
        <p>The link to the download can be found on the <a href="https://tools.stefankueng.com/AAClr.html">project page</a>.</p>

        We're proud to announce that TortoiseSVN 1.7.3 has been released.
        It is linked against Subversion 1.7.2
        </p>
        <p>
        Due to some nasty bugs in TortoiseSVN 1.7.2 which
        in some specific situations could make it crash,
        we're releasing this version out of sync with SVN
        releases.
        </p>
        <p>
        TortoisePlink was also updated to Plink 0.62 which
        had a security issue fixed.
        </p>
        <p>
        We recommend that you update to this version as soon as possible.
        You can get it from our <a href="/downloads.html">download page</a>.

    <h2 class="title">Call for translators</h2>
    <p class="meta">Posted on July 14, 2011</p>
    <div class="entry">
        <p>
        in a few weeks, Subversion 1.7 will be officially released.
        This means that TortoiseSVN 1.7 will be released only a few days later.
        Now it's high time to polish up our translations and finish as many of them as possible.
        In most cases the biggest item on the to-do list is the TortoiseSVN manual.
        </p>
        <p>
        There are five translations where the GUI translation is almost finished and the manual
        is more than 90% done.
        These are:
        <a href="https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/tortoisesvn/r/release-1-7-0/l/nl/">Dutch</a>,
        <a href="https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/tortoisesvn/r/release-1-7-0/l/fr/">French</a>,
        <a href="https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/tortoisesvn/r/release-1-7-0/l/ja/">Japanese</a>,
        <a href="https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/tortoisesvn/r/release-1-7-0/l/ru/">Russian</a> and
        <a href="https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/tortoisesvn/r/release-1-7-0/l/es/">Spanish</a>.
        If at least two volunteers help, we should be able to deliver a 100% complete translation for these languages.
        </p>
        <p>
        Close behind are:
        <a href="https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/tortoisesvn/r/release-1-7-0/l/zh_CN/">Chinese</a> and
        <a href="https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/tortoisesvn/r/release-1-7-0/l/sl/">Slovenian</a>.
        Their manuals are &gt; 70% finished, but this is going to be a tough job to get it done.
        </p>
        <p>
        Then we have the
        <a href="https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/tortoisesvn/r/release-1-7-0/l/id/">Indonesian</a>,
        <a href="https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/tortoisesvn/r/release-1-7-0/l/pl/">Polish</a>,
        <a href="https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/tortoisesvn/r/release-1-7-0/l/pt_BR/">Portuguese (Brazil)</a> and
        <a href="https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/tortoisesvn/r/release-1-7-0/l/sk/">Slovak</a>
        manuals, which are between 40% and 60% done. It would be cool to get close to 100%,
        but a lot of work to achieve this goal. The Polish translator is currently very active
        and would surely appreciate any help.
        </p>
        <p>
        Finally there are several languages where no manual exists, but the GUI translation
        is &gt;70% complete. See the <a href="https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/tortoisesvn/resource/trunk-gui/">GUI translation statistics</a>.
        These are the easiest jobs to finish, because the GUI translation
        doesn't have long paragraphs, but many single words or short sentences to translate.
        </p>
        <p>
        Please come and help. We need *you* :) Some information on how to join the translation
        team is available on our <a href="/translation.html">translation page</a>.

        <p>TortoiseSVN 1.6.15 has been released.</p>
        <p>This is a bugfix release/maintenance release,
        linked with Subversion 1.6.16. The release contains a fix
        for a first-chance exception in the file open/save dialogs.
        This only affects applications which are run under a debugger
        which must also be configured to catch first-chance exceptions.
        But since TortoiseSVN is mostly used by developers, this
        is annoying so that's why we made this release only a few
        days after the last release. Sorry about that.</p>

        <p>TortoiseSVN 1.6.14 has been released.</p>
        <p>This is a bugfix release/maintenance release,
        linked with Subversion 1.6.16. The release contains a fix
        for a handle leak in the shell extension and solves a
        problem with side-by-side assemblies on some machines.</p>
        <p>We recommend that you update your TortoiseSVN client to
        this latest version. You can get it from our
        <a href="/downloads.html">download</a> page.</p>
        <p>Also note that if you upgrade from a version before
        1.6.10, you have to run a repair install after the upgrade.
        To do that, run the installer again and click the "Repair"
        button. I'm sorry about the inconvenience.</p>

    <h2 class="title">Doc translators needed!!!</h2>
    <p class="meta">Posted on April 27, 2010</p>
    <div class="entry">
        <p>We need people that help to finish translating the
        documentation of TortoiseSVN. The following languages
        haven't been updated for a while, which means the
        previous translator doesn't have the time to work on
        TortoiseSVN at the moment.</p>

        <ul class="list-unstyled">
            <li class="flag-id"> Indonesian (52% complete)</li>
            <li class="flag-hr"> Croatian (67% complete, only TortoiseMerge)</li>
            <li class="flag-sk"> Slovak (30% complete)</li>
            <li class="flag-sl"> Slovenian (80% complete)</li>
        </ul>
