- Do not build support for Java and C# on i586.
- Update to 0.25.1:
* Bug fixes:
- autopoint no longer fails if configure.ac contains no
AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION or AM_GNU_GETTEXT_REQUIRE_VERSION invocation.
- nls.m4 is installed again under $PREFIX/share/aclocal/.
- Update to 0.25:
* xgettext now supports Go
* xgettext now supports TypeScript and TSX
* Add support for the D programming language (library and tools)
* Add support for the Modula-2 programming language (same)
* xgettext has a new option '--generated' that customizes the way
the 'POT-Creation-Date' in the POT file is computed
- build with libacl/libattr
- Update to 0.24.1:
* Fix bad interactions between autoreconf and autopoint
* xgettext: Creating the POT file of a package under Git version
control is now faster. Also, the use of Git can be turned off
by specifying the option --no-git
- update upstream signing key and verify source signatures (again)
- Update to 0.24.0
* Programming languages support:
- C:
+ A new example 'hello-c-http' has been added, showing the use
of GNU gettext in a multithreaded web server.
- C++:
+ A new example 'hello-c++-gnome3' has been added.
- Ruby:
+ A new example 'hello-ruby' has been added.
* Improvements for maintainers:
- When xgettext creates the POT file of a package under Git version
control, the 'POT-Creation-Date' in the POT file usually no longer
changes gratuitously each time the POT file is regenerated.
- Update to 23.0
* Internationalized data formats:
- XML
+ The escaping of characters such as & < > has been changed:
+ No escaping is done any more by xgettext, when creating a POT file.
+ Instead, extra escaping can be requested for the msgfmt pass, when
merging into an XML file.
+ The default value of 'escape' in the <gt:escapeRule> was "yes";
now it is "no".
+ This means that existing translations of older POT files may no
longer fully apply. As a maintainer of a package that has
translatable XML files, you need to regenerate the POT file and
pass it on to your translators.
+ XML schemas for .its and .loc files are now provided.
+ The value of the xml:lang attribute, inserted by msgfmt,
now conforms to W3C standards.
+ 'msgfmt --xml' accept an option --replace-text, that causes
the output to be a mono-lingual XML file instead of a multi-lingual
XML file.
+ xgettext and 'msgfmt --xml' now support DocBook XML files.
- Desktop: xgettext now produces POT files with correct line numbers.
* Programming languages support:
- Java:
+ xgettext now has an improved recognition of format strings when
the String.formatted method is used.
- C#:
+ The build system and tools now also support 'dotnet' (.NET) as
C# implementation. In order to declare a preference for 'dotnet'
over 'mono', you can use the configure option '--enable-csharp=dotnet'.
+ xgettext now recognizes strings with embedded expressions
(a.k.a. interpolated strings).
- Perl:
+ xgettext now reports warnings instead of fatal errors.
+ xgettext now recognizes strings with embedded expressions
(a.k.a. interpolated strings).
* Runtime behaviour:
- In the C.UTF-8 locale, like in the C locale, the *gettext() functions
now return the msgid untranslated. This is relevant for GNU systems,
Linux with musl libc, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Cygwin, and Android.
* Documentation:
- The section "Preparing Strings" now gives more advice how to deal
with string concatenation and strings with embedded expressions.
* xgettext:
- Most of the diagnostics emitted by xgettext are now labelled as
"warning" or "error".
* msgmerge:
- The option '--sorted-output' is now deprecated.
* libgettextpo library:
- This library is now multithread-safe.
- The function 'po_message_set_format' now supports resetting a format
string mark.
