[Caminol10n] Update on Camino 1.6.1

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to give you all a quick heads-up about Camino 1.6.1. 
We found a couple of major bugs in the new OpenSearch support after 
the release of 1.6 and have been working to fix them.  Because the 
next Gecko release isn't scheduled until mid/late June, we're going 
to go ahead and release Camino 1.6.1 with our fixes in the next 
couple of weeks.  We're also going to delay releasing Spanish and the 
updated Norwegian translations until 1.6.1.

One of the changes 
(https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=430070) is going to 
require some string changes, unfortunately; I had originally assumed 
there would only be one, but it looks like there will be 5 changes 
(two of which are actually reusing translations found in an existing 
string that's being broken in half).

SearchPluginInstallationErrorMessage currently looks like this:

"SearchPluginInstallationErrorMessage" = "Camino was unable to add 
"%@" to the web search field. The search plug-in could be unavailable 
or in an unsupported format.";

After the patch, it will look like:

"SearchPluginInstallationErrorMessage" = "Camino was unable to add 
"%1$@" to the web search field. %2$@";

and the second part of the original string will end up in 
XMLSearchPluginParserUnknownError:

"XMLSearchPluginParserUnknownError" = "The search plug-in could be 
unavailable or in an unsupported format.";

There will be three other new strings:

"XMLSearchPluginParserInvalidPluginFormat" = "The search plug-in is 
in an unrecognized or unsupported format.";
"XMLSearchPluginParserPluginNotFound" = "The search plug-in could not 
be found on the server.";
"XMLSearchPluginParserUnsupportedSearchURL" = "The search method used 
by this plug-in is not supported.";

We hope to have a build with these changes by the weekend so that you 
can incorporate them into your localization environment, but I want 
to make sure you had some advance notice of the new strings.  Also, 
depending on our progress, we hope to have the Release Notes 
available early next week, the 1.6.1 release candidate build by 
mid-/late-next week, and are planning on releasing 1.6.1 on May 13.

Thanks,
Smokey
