   Great work!

   I noticed issue 517 is fixed. Does this mean non latin characters (Japanese, etc) are now supported by BitmapFontAtlas, or just that the buffer overrun is fixed (and any non-supported chars are ignored)?

    @andre.p: only the buffer overrun was fixed.
    I think it should not be difficult to support chars > 256. Are you interested in making a patch ?

    You can backport EaseElastic to v0.8.1 without problems.
    Just copy the EaseActions.m / .h files

    0.8.2 seems very stable so far in our game, took a few minutes to change some code and I like the new more organised New Projects.

    Keep up the great work and I look forward to donating to this great project. Our first game only has the high score table and a few little tweaks then on to the next 4 planned.

    Would it be possible to extend the convertToUI to accept a 3d position? I've got sprites that use the vertexZ property, and would like to get their boundingboxes as screen coordinates. So far i use a function that includes a GL unproject, and it's super slow.

    Thanks.

    @riq We will be integrating Japanese localisation in our game within the next fortnight. I'll be happy to make a patch and submit.

    @andre.p: what kind of localization do you have in mind for cocos2d ?
    Please, submit the patch to the issue tracker. thanks.

    @riq - I haven't sat down to think about it in any detail yet.

    However off the top of my head I may look to modify / extend BitmapFont to detect which language is in use by the system and then apply the correct font spritesheet while grabbing the localised text to display from the language resource file.

    Japanese will likely be a bit tricky and require further extensions...

    This is with no research into the solution however, so it may not be viable.
