We’ve seen a couple of larger changes to Coggle’s infrastructure lately, which you might notice especially if you’re an obsessive Coggle user (like me!) with huuuge diagrams, or if you use Coggle in a different language.PDF and image downloads are massively upgraded, with support for the biggest PDF files you can imagine (seriously, we haven’t been able to make a sensible Coggle diagram big enough to break the new pdf renderer yet, unlike the old one which could fall over with merely an A0-paper-size diagram).The longest-lived bug that we’ve ever had – links in PDF files could sometimes not be clickable – is also finally, finally, finally, fixed! This bug was nearly as old as PDF exports in Coggle, and rapidly approaching its 10th birthday.PNG image downloads are now also supported up to tens of thousands of pixels in size. These can take a while to generate, and for larger diagrams PDF files will be both smaller and higher quality, but if you need a raster image of your biggest diagrams for any reason you can now get one much more easily.The new rendering engine is a huge quality and reliability improvement, and it also makes our ongoing maintenance much easier. We now have the capability to use fonts for many more languages when creating the downloaded files. If you see text in your language which is not being displayed properly in a downloaded file please let us know! If the font we’re using for your language looks ugly and could be improved then let us know too :)Translations now use Fluent: Our public translations project for Coggle now uses the more modern .ftl Fluent translations syntax. We’ve ported over most of the old translations (and thank you to all the people who have helped!), but if you’re a technically minded native speaker of a language we don’t support yet then it’s easier than it ever to translate Coggle.Posted by James, September 20th 2024.
