Localizations

  • Thanks to Frank Bültge for german language file
  • Thanks to Brian Flores for spanish translation

  • Not really a bug so much, but an issue: Textile 2 is freaking huge (145k > 4000 lines of code) so it can be quite a burden on your server. If you can get away with not using it, I highly reccomend you do so.

  • Additionally, in Textile 2 there is a feature that would grab an image via PHP and get it’s height and width for placing in the IMG tags. This has been disabled It literally took a post from 1 second to display straight to 6 seconds — completely unacceptable.
