The rules are written in XML, utilizing the + Internationalization Tag Set (ITS) standard. All the existing + XML-based language scanners (Glade, GSettings, and AppData) are + rewritten using ITS. In addition, msgfmt now has --xml option to + merge translations back to the original XML document. + +* Portability: + - Improve OS/2 kLIBC support (still not complete) + - Remove dependency on expat + +Version 0.19.6 - September 2015 + +* Programming languages support: + - AppData: + xgettext now supports AppData file format, used by software center + applications (e.g., GNOME Software) to describe installable + applications. + +* A new macro AM_GNU_GETTEXT_REQUIRE_VERSION can be used to indicate + autopoint to pull the latest available infrastructure, instead of + the exact version specified with AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION. When + AM_GNU_GETTEXT_REQUIRE_VERSION is used, AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION is + ignored. + +* po/Makefile.in.in can now insert the file $(DOMAIN).pot-header to + $(DOMAIN).pot, instead of the standard header comments. + +* Bug fixes: + - Fix mishandling of gettext version numbers for minor releases, in + po-mode.el and gettextize. + - Fix build with --enable-relocatable. + +Version 0.19.5 - July 2015 + +* xgettext now has a feature to perform syntax checks on msgid, which + could enforce common styles of translatable strings, such as to + prefer Unicode characters to the corresponding ASCII characters. + They can be enabled with --check option or special "xgettext: " + comment in the source code. By default, no syntax checks are + enabled. + +* msgfilter and msgexec now have an option --newline, which appends a + newline character to filter input and trims it from the filter + output. This would allow filter programs to be more POSIX friendly. + +* The base Unicode standard is now updated to 8.0.0. This + particularly improves "\N{...}" notation handling of xgettext for + Perl and Python. + +* msginit is now capable of generating "Plural-Forms:" from Unicode + CLDR. This feature is still experimental, but you can try it by + setting the GETTEXTCLDRDIR environment variable pointing to the + directory where the CLDR archive is extracted. The actual + conversion is done by a helper program 'cldr-plural', which can be + used as a generic converter and evaluator of CLDR plural forms. + +* Programming languages support: + - C++ with KDE: xgettext and msgfmt can now recognize KUIT (KDE User + Interface Text) markup. See the documentation section "KUIT + Format Strings" for more info. + - C++ with KDE: xgettext now recognizes all default KDE keywords. + This removes the need for a long list of --keyword and --flag + options to perform a reasonable extraction. + +* Bug fixes: + - xgettext C++11 raw string recognition is now stricter and don't + accept unbalanced delimiters. + - Suppress baseless warnings which msgfmt emits when processing a + .desktop file. + - xgettext line wrapping behaviour is now consistent between comment + lines and non-comment lines. + - Fix msgfilter-7 test failure on some platforms. + - Fix VPATH build. + +Version 0.19.4 - December 2014 + +* The --keyword option of xgettext now accepts same argument number + for both singular and plural forms. + +* Programming languages support: + - C#: xgettext now properly handles Unicode characters encoded with + surrogate pairs. + - C/C++: xgettext now recognizes ISO/IEC 9899:2011 string literals + prefixed by R, u8, u8R, u, uR, U, UR, L, or LR. + - Shell: xgettext now properly recognizes Bash ANSI-C quoting ($'...'). + +* Bug fixes: + - Fix integer overflow when reading certain MO files with msgunfmt. + - Avoid invalid memory access in various cases. In particular, when + the same argument number is specified for singular/plural + arguments, and when checking Lisp and Scheme format strings. + +* Portability: + - Building on Mac OS X 10.10 and AIX 7.1 is now supported. + +Version 0.19.3 - October 2014 + +* Bug fixes: + - Fix xgettext mishandling of octal character escapes in C. + - Fix autopoint infinite recursion with certain configure.ac. + +* The po/Makevars file has a new field MSGINIT_OPTIONS, that can be + used to adjust msginit's operation. This is particularly useful for + controlling line wrapping behavior together with MSGMERGE_OPTIONS + and XGETTEXT_OPTIONS. + +* Portability: + - Building on Solaris 10 and 11 with Solaris Studio compiler is now + fixed. + +Version 0.19.2 - July 2014 + +* Bug fixes: + - Fix xgettext crash in parsing empty string literals in C and Vala. + - ChangeLog file is added back to the gettext infrastructure. It was + mistakenly removed in 0.19. + - Autoconf macro trace in autopoint now works again with Autoconf 2.68 + or earlier. It was a regression in 0.19. + +Version 0.19.1 - June 2014 + +* Programming languages support: + + - Desktop Entry: + msgfmt now always reads the po/LINGUAS file, regardless of whether + the LINGUAS environment variable is set. The variable can now be + used to restrict the languages list read from the po/LINGUAS file. + + - Vala: + Bug fix in xgettext handling of "//" in string literals. This was + a regression after the C-99 Unicode escape support. + +* The po/Makevars.template file now contains the newly added variables. + +* msgfmt now treats errors in the PO file header as non-fatal. Since + 0.19 msgfmt started to abort on the fatal errors, but some + translation systems are still not ready to supply valid headers. + +* Future backward-incompatibilities: + - In future Gettext versions, msgfmt will treat header errors as + fatal and terminate the command execution. + +Version 0.19 - June 2014 + +* Programming languages support: + + - Desktop Entry: + xgettext and msgfmt now support .desktop files, used by desktop + applications, as input and output. + + - GSettings: + xgettext now supports GSettings schema file format used by GNOME + applications. + + - JavaScript: + xgettext now recognizes E4X (ECMA-357) constructs. + + - PHP: + Single and double quotes around heredoc markers are now recognized. + + - Python: + The acceptable format specifiers in the braced-syntax format + strings are now limited to the Standard Format Specifiers, to + reasonably avoid false-positives. + + - Scheme: + The gettext shorthand form _"abc", used by GIMP script-fu, is now + recognized by xgettext. + + - C and Vala: + xgettext now recognizes C99-style Unicode character escapes. + +* The --add-location option of msgattrib, msgcat, msgcomm, msgconv, + msgen, msgfilter, msggrep, msgmerge, msguniq, and xgettext commands + now takes an optional argument 'never', 'full', or 'file', to + control the format of "#: ..." comments. + +* msgfmt now has --source option to keep generated .java file when + running in Java mode. + +* msgattrib now has --empty option that sets msgstr to empty when + clearing fuzzy flag. + +* msgexec and msgfilter pass the plural information to subprocess + through the environment variable MSG{EXEC,FILTER}_MSGID_PLURAL and + MSG{EXEC,FILTER}_PLURAL_FORM. + +* New built-in filters 'quot' and 'boldquot' have been added to + msgfilter. These filters convert Latin quotation marks ('...', + "...") into Unicode quotation marks (for example, U+2018) if + possible, similar to the sed commands used in po/Rules-quot and + po/Rules-boldquot. + +* The po/Makevars file has a couple of new options PO_DEPENDS_ON_POT + and DIST_DEPENDS_ON_UPDATE_PO, that can be used to adjust the + behavior of updating PO files on demand. + +* xgettext now strips prefixed string before the comment tag. This is + useful to support C-style comment like this: + + /* + * TRANSLATORS: first line + * second line + */ + + In this example, the extracted comment does not contain "* " at the + beginning of each line. + +* libgettextpo library: + - Memory leak fixes in the PO file parser. + +* Documentation: + - A complete example showing the use of GNU gettext in a GNOME 3 + application has been added. + + +Version 0.18.3 - July 2013 + +* Runtime behaviour: + On Mac OS X systems, the setlocale() function now properly + invalidates loaded message catalogs when a locale has been set. + +* Programming languages support: + + - C++: + The gnu::autosprintf class now provides an assignment operator. + + - Glade: + xgettext now supports GtkBuider file format used by Glade 3. + xgettext now also extracts contexts (msgctxt) from Glade 2 and + GtkBuider files. + + - JavaScript: + xgettext now partially supports JavaScript. Since the current + JavaScript specification (ECMA-262) does not define the standard + set of formatting methods nor translation functions, the + implementation supports only a limited set of formatting methods + and translation functions commonly used in Gjs and other popular + JavaScript implemenations and libraries. + + - Lua: + xgettext now supports Lua, using Ľubomír Remák's lua-gettext. + + - Python: + xgettext and msgfmt's format string checking now recognize Python + format string in braced syntax (PEP 3101). xgettext now also + supports explicit string concatenation with '+' and handles + platform dependent line terminators (LF/CR/CRLF) transparently. + + - Tcl: + Bug fix in xgettext Unicode escape handling. + + - Vala: + xgettext now supports Vala. + +* msgattrib now has --previous option to keep previous msgid when + making messages fuzzy, similar to msgmerge --previous. + +* msgfmt now checks PO file headers more strictly with less + false-positives. + +* 'gettextize' now checks macro directories specified with + AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIRS in configure.ac. + +* Portability: + - msginit now does not require GNU sed. + - The Makefile rule for generating en@quot and en@boldquot now uses + @SED@ variable instead of hard-coded 'sed' command to allow users + to supply GNU sed. + +* Future backward-incompatibilities: + - In future Gettext versions, the files installed by 'gettextize' + will require Automake 1.10 or later.
