The generated MO file is from an older version, not of the newly-generated PO file

[sofyand]

Was using GlotPress on:
​http://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp/dev/id/default

and was building the local package via package build tool on the local site (id.worpress.org).
Extracted the package after the build, and found that the PO files within were correct and were generated from the latest translations on translate.wordpress.org.
However, the MO files were all not generated based on those latest POs (based on a previous revision of the translations IMHO).

Unrelated to GlotPress: So had to regenerate the MOs using POEdit and build the local package using SVN as source to have a correct package build for release.

Can't reproduce this. GlotPress can export to .mo files, please test it that way. Not logged-in users can use this feature since [685].

sample PO and MO for Estonian as of 21.01.2013

Problem reproduced with Estonian translation - created package in et.wordpress.org, contains admin-et.po with latest translations and admin-et.mo with older translations. GlotPress exports both .po and .mo correctly (you can get the correct versions from ​http://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp/3.5.x/admin/et/default - .mo should be ca 300kB, not ca 270kB)

Seems to be related to switching from POedit-based translation workflow to ​http://translate.wordpress.org - deleting .mo from SVN results in correct package created with fresh .po & .mo files

Closing this ticket as works for me. If you think I am wrong please re open the ticket with more information.
