When you try to install new language through the admin panel, error appear:
"The Simple Machines site is not responding. Please try again later."

Its not so helpfull when you use a url to a private part of sm.org on a public github repo.

I get the same as Dzonny. No errors or anything come with it but it just won't install any language. Well, just the warning appears as above.

I am not sure if that can be fixed till final. It checks using SMF version for language packages on the SMF site

$url = 'https://download.simplemachines.org/fetch_language.php?version=' . urlencode(SMF_VERSION);

Apparently https://download.simplemachines.org/fetch_language.php doesn't currently expect to receive strings like "RC1" in the version parameter.

I did some adjustments to the site code. Seems to have resolved this. Will do some more verifications later but I think its fixed.

I can confirm it worked on my local installation, which previously was giving this issue.

It's working now

Works for me.

FYI,
There was some slight adjustments made after this closed to the handling here. If it broke again, let me know. I tested with the latest versions and they work fine. Old versions do not work on on purpose to pull language packs down.
