First translation in. Farsi!!!!
Thanks to the great contribution of Mohsen Ezzatpanah, the first siwapp translation is the persian one. I just tested the translation file and voila!!! the ui changed completely in a delicious way for my iso-8851-1 eyes. What can I say??

Two updates in a row: siwapp 0.3.4
In spain, we have a saying that is “my dwarfs are growing”, meaning a circus owner complaining when everything start going inexplicably wrong with his circus , even the dwarfs are growing!! Looks like we’re putting ourselves in kind of a similar situation here. On the previous version the messaging system was broke because of [...]
Emergency Release: 0.3.3 is out.
