Globalyzer 3.0 features a major rewrite of much of Globalyzer’s code base. The emphasis of this release is on making Globalyzer far more powerful in supporting enterprise-wide internationalization, both during initial refactoring efforts, and over time as new development occurs. Click the image to the right, to see a screenshot of Globalyzer 3.0. Here’s a list of ten, no eleven, leading new features and benefits:

1.) Database enabling of Globalyzer reporting – Globalyzer 3.0 comes with its own database, or the option to connect to your current database. You can compare Globalyzer results over time, track individual internationalization issues from scan to scan and share scan results and fixes with your fellow developers.

2.) Command-Line integration with ANT and automated processes – Command Line, though less exciting to look at, offers tremendous power in supporting entire teams of developers in monitoring and measuring internationalization. With Command Line, Globalyzer can now become the benchmark for localization readiness. We’ve included a wizard to help teams get Globalyzer up and included in automated processes, like a nightly build.

3.) Easy sharing of scan results for fixing i18n issues – Scan results can be quickly and easily loaded into Globalyzer’s GIDE desktop interface so that teams of developers can step through and fix internationalization issues efficiently.

4.) Scan extremely large volumes of code in one pass – In previous versions of Globalyzer, when you wanted to scan large applications, you needed to break up the source. Now you can point Globalyzer at literally millions of lines of code at a time.

5.) Batch scanning across multiple programming languages – Internationalization issues are quite different among programming languages, requiring Globalyzer to use different engines to get the best results. We’ve now allowed you to combine scanning engines to batch process code bases with multiple programming languages. For example, for JSP’s you can combine HTML scanning with Java scanning in one effort.

6.) Keeping track of issues you want to ignore – Besides Globalyzer’s great filtering capabilities for isolating complex internationalization issues, Globalyzer now tracks your code line by line, so that you can elect to ignore, or even emphasize issues, and track and revisit them without Globalyzer needing to insert its own comments in your code. Keeps things clean.

7.) Faster performance – Though how fast Globalyzer scans source depends a lot on the code you are scanning, Globalyzer is running on well over a million lines of code in about the time it takes you to go get a cup of coffee.

8.) New Look on the Interface – we rewrote much of Globalyzer’s U/I, giving it an updated look. The biggest reason we’ve done this is to prepare for good stuff we are planning for the soon to follow 3.1 version, but for now, we think you’ll like it.

9.) Bug Fixes – we’ve cleaned up issues to keep you on your way finding and fixing embedded strings, locale-limiting methods, functions and classes and programming patterns.

10.) More Programming Language Support – Globalyzer already supports a wide variety of programming languages, and we’re formalizing support for a few more.

11.)Tighter Integration between Globalyzer’s GIDE client and server accounts on Globalyzer.com, so you can quickly change your rulesets which control Globalyzer’s behavior and share changes with your colleagues.
