    Default vBET 3.4.0 Released

    Hi

    We have new release for you. Now for vB3.8 in next month we will release for vB4.x Please note that because of lot of changes this release is considered as BETA.

    So what is the most important - new language supported (+ ready for 5 more), all known bugs corrected, performance improved, added support for memory cache and for external database cache. And of course lot of other things - details below

    VERY IMPORTANT: because of new languages added it is required to do additional update steps. For new installations nothing changes, still for updates some additional steps are required - details below.

    New:
    • Added 6 new languages: Armenian, Azeri, Basque, Georgian, Haitian Creole, Urdu.
      Those are in BETA version in Google and only Haitian Creole is fully supported by Google right now. So only Haitian Creole from new ones can be used now, but vBET is ready to support others in any time when Google will be ready - you will just enable it by Admin CP and that's it!
    • Support for memory cache: Memcache, APC, XCache, eAccelerator. Also easy to add support for new engines!
    • Support for external database for vBET cache
      (requested: http://www.vbenterprisetranslator.co....html#post6927)
    • Avoiding title duplication
      New option which adds actual language to page title (usefull for threads with not translatable titles like product name or something like that)
    • Automatically managed roles for default language
      Each user has at most 1 role for default language (requested: http://www.vbenterprisetranslator.co...each-user.html)
      Allows to see stats (how many users uses specific languages) in Admin CP -> Usergroups -> Usergroup Manager (requested: http://www.vbenterprisetranslator.co....html#post1232)
    • Affiliate Program support in credit link
      Now everyone who has vBET credit link anyway have also change to earn on it! It is enough to add your affiliate user id in Admin CP -> vBET -> Main - more details in parameter description
    • vBET support vBSEO short links.
      Added support for vBSEO parameter limiting URL length. By default disabled for backward compatibility – need to turn it on for effect. Please note that already indexed pages with longer URLs will be 301 redirected – so it is safe for your SEO. Still we decided to make it configurable at this moment.
    • User language flag info into Who's online section
      (requested: http://www.vbenterprisetranslator.co...ho-online.html)
    • Support for not translating titles
      If you want have some sections of thread title not translated then simply opaque it manually in [ langtitle=nt][ /langtitle] BBCODE (without spaces). Just as language code use nt (not translated). This is a trick to avoid translation of some titles (like game names, music titles and so on) – inside of thread body still use [ notranslate] BBCode.
    • Language filets support for notices
      Added two options in notice system. Show notice when:
      - User is not browsing the forum in specified languages
      - User is browsing the forum in specified languages
    • Configurable languages for cache for Guest.
      Now you can choose which languages will be supported by Guest Cache.
    • Option for admin – show Google connection time
      This option will allow you to check how long during page generation your sewer was waiting for Google response. Simply prints time results and number of Google requests on the top of result page. This is working only for admins so it is harmless for normal users and will allow to check does issue is on Google side if forum slows down. Of course it will work for not cached translations.


    Bugs corrected:


    Templates changed:
    • vbenterprisetranslator_inpost_translate
    • vbenterprisetranslator_flag


    Other changes:
    • (Performance improvement) Google request length limit enlarged to 2000
      It will give less Google queries which are main performance bottleneck.
    • (Performance improvement) Algorithm changes for keeping not translated parts of HTML
    • (Performance improvement) One connection to Google for all translation requests on one page.
    • vBET configuration options reorganized in Admin CP


    Additional update steps
    Please note that all additional update steps are because of new languages support. That is why we even added 5 languages which are not supported now, but Google have it already in BETA stage - so when those became supported no additional steps will be required anymore. Sorry now for those.
    1. Update your rules in .htaccess file
      Check actual one in vBET package. Of course there is no need to change everything - just the part with language codes (added codes for new languages). To be safe it is best to made copy of your .htaccess file before changes. Those who supports content translation outside forum directory - please remember that you have vBET rules in several .htaccess files - update all of those.
    2. Supported languages selection
      Because new languages was added you have to reselect again which languages you want to support! Languages changed order, so after update you can have checked other languages that before update. Please remember/write which one are those and correct settings after update.
      Also if you use all languages you will have to turn off those which are not actually supported (those are clearly marked) – it is enough to do it in one place Admin CP -> vBET -> Translation -> Enable Translation (3 parts).
      Sorry for this inconvenience – it was necessary to keep alphabetical order in Admin CP. So it brings small inconvenience during this update, but lot of convenience for rest of administration time.
    3. Rights for Guest Cache directories
      If you are using Guest Cache then add appropriate rights (details in Guest Cache configuration in Admin CP) now new Guest Cache directories: hy, az, eu, ka, ht, ur (otherwise guest cache will not work for those)
    4. robots.txt update
      If you optimized your forum also our hints for robots.txt, please update it also for new languages (codes: hy, az, eu, ka, ht, ur)
    5. Sitemap Generator integration
      If you integrated Sitemap Generator with vBET, please - add new language codes there (only for those which you support - NOT all of those)

    Is this version the previous version will help the problem causing large systems like mine?
    I stopped the running of the previous version, it causes the collapse of my dedicated server!

    Hello. As Kamil wrote I was on holiday. The new version will have several updates including performance upgrades. Biggest one is support for memory cache.

    At this moment we cannot tell does new version will solve your previous issues, because I do not know what issues are you writing about. Please note that we provide FREE support so in case of issues it is wise to let as know about those and work on those. We will happily help you and check what is going on your server in case of issues. At this moment I can only tell you that performance improvements was made, also known bugs fixed and some new features included.
