I think it's not so a problem. This alpha2 enhance a lot of features. This implies a change in URLs.

I think it won't fix...

2 Psicomante -
At me a site 6 groups already use. The quantity of references to a site increases. AND GOOGLE !!!

It is necessary to think over references at once. It is a greater mistake from different directions !

Guys, you are using alpha software. Also alpha2 specifically includes a meta tag to request robots NOT to index the pages of the application. This is a web application after all, and is not an extremely performant one at that, so in protection of your servers, it is best not to let Google issue a denial of service attack on you as far as I see. (Open a new issue to discuss this if you think this should be changed).

In case you are interested in fixing this, please collect patterns of the old URLs when they changed, and pair them with the new patterns. Some pages like the view and edit pages were separated so permissions can be properly managed.

Changing URLs is not good idea. When visitors comes from other sites to mine using old (not existing) URLs they will get Error 404.
More sites - more errors.
Referring sites will see all Error 404 :( .
The longer there will be a site, the it is more Error 404.
Google (it is the same topic) will increase only quantity of mistakes Error 404.

If you every month change your post address - you will lose some of your mail.

Gábor Hojtsy, excuse for my persistence. It's a critical mistake.
It is necessary to think of addresses in advance because it is a lot of addresses.

(Excuse for my English)
----
Gábor Hojtsy, once again excuse. Thanks for your good work !
I congratulate you On Merry Christmas! Health and success to you in all :)

No need to explain to me what a 404 error is. Once again, you are using a pre-release version of the module, which comes with changes. As I have said, it is somewhat possible to support some of the older URLs, for example the ones ending in project names being redirected to the project filter pages. In some cases, there are removed and added features, so URLs changed.

If you feel like getting some of your URLs back, you can help me by collecting a list of URL types/patterns removed in alpha2, and the new URL schemes, and I can build you the redirection code. If you don't have this much of an interest in it, then we stop at that.

You don't need a module, just install module Path redirect and redirect old URLs to new ones if you need it.

2 meba, I know this module, thanks :). You change a home address each new holiday?
It is better to not change a way and to not use superfluous modules...
I should not check each way, after installation of new versions of modules. So does not do who.
Please do not take offence, I think it a greater mistake.

I don't think that paths are changed every time new version of module is released. Just please understand, that l10n_server is an ALPHA software.

ALPHA means - build for developers, for testing purposes. A LOT of changes happens in ALPHA software.

So, if you used l10n_server for users, you have to:
- upgrade to -dev which have a lot of fixes and accept that paths changed
- upgrade to -dev, install path_redirect, which is "the Drupal way" to do it
- stick with -alpha1

pvasili: I can assure you that further paths are going to change later, paths might be added or removed as development goes forward. This module never had a stable release, so paths, programming APIs, the whole interface or whatever can change, because we are exactly in this process. Whether you install another module to redirect paths, or I leave hundreds of lines to support obsolete URLs is not any different.

Looks like collecting the paths you'd like to redirect to new ones is too much to ask, so this is not as important to you after all.
