Localizations in new 1.6 builds

[KerSp66zQAx]

After the public release of 1.6b1, ancestor lands many new features (see by example badc0cf) adding new strings to the en-US locale files. So, currently, running a snapshot from dev-1.6 give you a broken Brief window if you are running Firefox in any supported (by Brief) language, besides English.

Is necessary to update each locale for to match the strings of en-US. The localizations will result partially translated, but functional. The existent tools do this work fast. I will do this now that I started to touch the 1.6 version.

Or,
Other possible solution would revert all the related commits (uf). Leave those accesible in the archived BRIEF_1.6_BRANCH. But now we would need to re-check which branch will be selected, due to the differences in the commits... I don't like this approach, really.

The xpi labeled as 1.6b2 shared in the Downloads sections has the mentioned problem. It should to be removed.

not sure if I understand your second solution. But I really wouldn't revert any commits. I'd rather fix the branches with new commits as you described in your first solution. Also, the problem is that we still have two 1.6 branches "BRIEF_1_6_BRANCH" and "dev-1.6".

but a different question: do you think it is actually worthwhile to put effort into the 1.6 branch if no one is developing on it? with our limited resources we should probably decide on one branch to base future development on...

p.s. i deleted the download
