Hi,
In order to make life easier for newbies, or people who don't want to
struggle with setup of development environment so that they can
compile Huggle, which is essential for contribution, I created this
portable VM that is based on Ubuntu and has complete dev environment
preinstalled, with all dependencies.
You can try it here: http://tools.wmflabs.org/huggle/files/huggle.ova (3GB)
I am going to prepare some how-to for people who don't know much about
linux, but if you do, you will find it very easy to use. Huggle is
preinstalled together with source code, link is on Desktop.
If you open QtCreator (link in side bar) you can just click open last
project and you will get to preconfigured IDE for Huggle development.
You can simply hit build all to compile everything, run in debug mode
and so on...
Let me know if you had any questions or suggestions. You can also

Hi all,
I would like to announce that Huggle 3.3.0 was just released. This is
again a major update, which most notably comes with support for new
YAML format that we decided to use instead of old custom format.
As of now, YAML format is used for global and project config, example
of new config page is here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Huggle/Config.yaml
Most of wikis except for test and english wikipedia don't have new
format yet, so Huggle will show a warning while logging there, but it
will still work with no issues.
This new format is much better as it comes with syntax checks,
highlighting, is a standard and support many features that old format
didn't support, such as dictionaries, vectors and so on.
Other than that there is lot of less major new features (my most
favorite - auto-relogin in case session becomes invalid), auto-advance
to last revision of currently displayed page in case someone else
modified it, tips and several bug fixes, most notably the one
announced today, that older verrsions of Huggle didn't sign some of
welcome templates. That is fixed now.
It's strongly recommended to update to this version as soon as possible.
MacOS users will need to wait a bit, I need to poke someone who has
Mac and can build the release version.
Thanks
