What's New on Tatoeba? - Your weekly recap #7

UPDATES

• Moved the copy button out of "experimental options". It's now a full feature in its own.
• Corrected searches using the "owned by a self-identified native speaker". Thanks to TRANG for reporting and AndiPersti (on GitHub) and gillux for solving the issue.
• Corrected a bug where encoding of CSS files were wrongly interpreted. Thanks to Pandaa and Yorwba for reporting and AndiPersti for the fix.
• Modified the informative message on the downloads page. It now displays the correct time at which files are available (6:30 a.m. UTC)

Fun fact: False cognates are pairs of words that seem to be related, because of similar sounds and meaning, but have different etymologies. For example, the English "much" and Spanish "mucho" come from completely different Proto-Indo-European roots.
