Hello! The latest issue of the Tech News bulletin is ready for early translation at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2014/26
The bulletin will be sent to subscribers on Monday morning (UTC); all translations existing by that time will be posted on wikis in those languages.
There might be some edits tomorrow, but the content should remain fairly stable -- I will let you know as soon as a final version of the issue is published.
Please let me know if you have any questions, comments or concerns. I appreciate your help, feedback and involvement.

Hi again, this is just to let you know that I just froze this week's issue of Tech News and published its final version at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2014/26.
No new messages have been added or edited since my last e-mail to this list, and you can expect no further changes to this issue of Tech News.
As always, the newsletter will be distributed to subscribers on Monday morning according to the publication schedule visible on top of the page on Meta.
Thank you all for your involvement and your time, and enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Note to translators; the text of one item is clearly misleading:
"You can now only move an image to the start of a paragraph, not to the middle of it, so you don't accidentally split it".
In fact this does not apply to all images, but *only* "block images", i.e. floatting or centered images. I suggest you replace the translation of "an image" to "a floatting or centered image".
Effectively you can still place inline images (notably small icons, or images replacing some complex text difficult to render in plain text) everywhere in the middle of a paragraph !!!
----
An image (<code>[[Image:...]]</code> or <code>[[File:...]]</code> is inline if it does not have **any one** of the following parameters transforming them to centered or floatting blocks:
* <code>left, right, thumb(nail), framed, frameless</code> *: These attributes generate a floatting image; even though they normally don't break a paragraph, they may cause a line break with additional vertical space to appear between lines, because floatting images are using a "clear:left" or "clear:right" attribute which may cause the image to be rendered at a lower position if there is already a floatting element on the same side in the container block.
* <code>center</code> *: This generates a centered block which breaks the text in the current paragraph (or div) in two parts.
Other image parameters such as
* vertical alignment (<code>top, text-top, sup, baseline, sub, text-bottom, bottom</code>) * a simple <code>border</code> * sizing paramers in pixels (<code>''width''px</code>, <code>''width''x''height''px</code>, or <code>x''height''px</code>) * an alternate wikilink target (<code>link=''pagename''<code>)
do not cause an inline image to become a block image.
Inline images can also be generated by a few other wiki elements (but it is not clear if the change will apply to them, the question was not answered in Bugzilla):
* <imagemap>, <hiero>, <math>
Unfortunately I regret that such Technews and changes are done without prior discussions about them even if it's just to correct a few words. In the short time given to translators, freezing these news and not permitting any change can bring errors or interpretations. These tech news should remain correctable, because they will also be archived. And at least such change should always provide an apporpriate link to a discussion page (and the talk page of Tech news, or even this list is definitely the wrong place to discuss these issues, but Bugzilla maintainers refuse to discuss them there !!!).
