RbMan Upgrade .... finally
It's been some time, but I finally got around to doing an upgrade on RbMan. :) For those that don't know, RbMan is a flex/coldfusion based resource bundle editor. It allows teams of translators to manage big collections of resrouces and translate them via the magic of the internet. Say goodby to your I18N worries and download RbMan today ... only $9.95 and it comes with a free set of steak knives. Not really . it's open source and is release under the Apache 2 license.
The upgrade was pretty extensive and includes: linux compatability updates, Coldfusion 8 compatablity updates, Flex 3 updates, plus lots of other tweaks and fixes to make it more robust and user friendly. Despite this being only a point release, the whole code base has had a major re-work. Comments and feedback is always welcome.

good work, it looks pretty good.
have you tested w/flash 10 & a BiDi locale?
i meant the flex front-end. pre-10 flash clients didn't do BiDi, wondering if you tried your flex rb manager w/arabic, etc. not sure if you have to recompile with the new flex SDK or what.
Hi Paul,
glad you like it. :) I haven't had any problems with flash 10. In regards to Bidi support, to tell you the true I've not had that much experience. In terms of resource bundle translation I can't see that anything would need to change. Wouldn't applications using bidirectional locales would need to handle that within the application?
I see what you're saying and I guess the answer is no. I haven't explicitly added any support for that in the editor. Thanks for mentioning it though. I'll look into it ;)
