It's not that leading or trailing whitespace in translated strings is
forbidden *in principle*, but I think it is unwanted in most of these
cases. Remove these spaces that could cause confusion, possibly useless
work for translators and/or ugly displays.
The only cases where the spaces seem to have been intentional are the
trailing ones in menu labels (Translations/*/menu.xml), in order to
obtain right alignment of keyboard shortcuts. However, there is only one
case in English where the spacing looks approximately correct
(File -> Reset). In all other cases, it looks awful. And this poor way
of obtaining right alignment gives bad results in other languages, where
translators use the same number of spaces as in English.
Bottom line: if right alignment of keyboard shortcuts is indeed desired
in the menu labels (I think it is), it should be done in a smarter
way...
Use RIGHTWARDS ARROW for each arrow, surrounded by two NO-BREAK SPACE
characters. This prevents line breaking in the middle or at the edges of
such arrows.
Also explicitly specify the UTF-8 encoding for Translations/en/tips.xml,
even though this is implicit with XML when unspecified.
Also remove <intl include="Translations/locale.xml"/> from
preferences.xml. Something equivalent based on readProperties() is done
in FlightGear (cf. FGLocale::FGLocale() in
flightgear/src/Main/locale.cxx).
Following FlightGear commit 0cfa4ced9cd5e2ec26e753ddd5f61da7558221a6,
mention in the output of 'fgfs --help --verbose' that the --metar option
automatically implies --disable-real-weather-fetch.
- Fix documentation for --aircraft-dir: the specified path is
interpreted relatively to the current directory, not to the path of
the fgfs executable.
- Add a few precisions (the option bypasses the <path-cache> from
autosave_X_Y.xml, as well as --fg-aircraft and FG_AIRCRAFT).
- Show the option documentation in 'fgfs --help -v' output (it was
"hidden" since 2010, but it works very well; cf.
<https://sourceforge.net/p/flightgear/mailman/message/34494887/> for
the most recent discussion about this option).
- Show the doc for --aircraft-dir right below that of --aircraft (both
being closely related).
- Add a pointer to --aircraft-dir in --fg-aircraft's doc, since the
former can be used as an alternative to the latter (or at least a
complement, since --fg-aircraft is used to determine some
permissions).
- Needs FlightGear compiled with -DENABLE_PACKAGE_SYSTEM.
- Shows only first 100 available aircrafts.
- Now progress indication on install/remove (need to reopen
dialog afterwards)
Fix the main bugs, add features and convert most of the layers.
Move/refactor some things as well. Add a canvas map dialog next to the
built-in one -- it's not 100% functional but it's quite close actually.
As before, the excitement has been taking place at our team clone.

(topics/canvas-map-dialog branch this time, current HEAD in above URL.)
Features:
- Various configurable styles.
- Working scroll bars, thanks to Tom
- Adequate REPL-ness.

N.B. This makes some (sane) changes to other Nasal files, including
expanding some of the Canvas API.
Replace the temporary UI with real solutions, in the view dialog
(for tooltips/popups) and a new 'input config' dialog accessed via
the file menu.
Make the mouse-cycle popup explicitly optional since some people
strongly dislike it.
This is temporary (hopefully!), to allow experimentation with different UX options in the near future. Right now it basically does nothing. As part of this, factor mouse-mode cycling into a separate command, and add some feedback. Feedback mechanism needs work, currently abusing the copilot facility.
such as snow level, dust, wetness, and texture set.
Also add a parameter to control whether the snow level moves with METAR,
and retire /environment/mysnow-level-m.
