Version 0.10.35 - April 1998, by Ulrich Drepper
|
|
|
|
|
|
* by default the emulation of gettext using the catgets() functions of
|
|
|
the C library is not selected anymore. GNU gettext has so many nice
|
|
|
extensions that this became unreasonable. Using --with-catgets the
|
|
|
emulation still can be requested.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* extend xgettext program to handle other file formats other than C/C++.
|
|
|
For now it also handles PO file. Using this feature one can concatenate
|
|
|
arbitrary PO files.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Tcl module with gettext interface
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Korean translation by Bang Jun Young
|
|
|
|
|
|
* xgettext writes to stdout when default domain name is set to -
|
|
|
|
|
|
* codeset name normalization
|
|
|
|
|
|
* msgmerge program now has all features tupdate has (and more).
|
|
|
tupdate itself will be removed soon
|
|
|
|
|
|
* po/Makefile.in.in now uses msgmerge instead of tupdate
|
|
|
|
|
|
* escape notation in .po files are only used when explicitly selected
|
|
|
|
|
|
* changed interface of msgunfmt to conform to GNU coding standard
|
|
|
|
|
|
* msgmerge now knows how to handle obsolete entries. If a formerly obsolete
|
|
|
entry is used again msgmerge will find it
|
|
|
|
|
|
* better implementation of comment extraction in xgettext.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* better C format string implementation. The xgettext will classify
|
|
|
strings as being a format string, or not, in the .po file. The
|
|
|
programmer can override the decision explicitly for each string
|
|
|
by specifying `xgettext:c-format' and `xgettext:no-c-format'
|
|
|
respectively in a C comment preceding the string.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* msgmerge program now always produces output. Fuzzy or non-existing
|
|
|
translations are no reason for holding back the result.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* reasonable header entry format implemented
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Norwegian translation by Karl Anders Øygard
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Configure command line option `--with-gnu-gettext' is renamed to
|
|
|
`--with-included-gettext'
|
|
|
|
|
|
* gettextize now can determine whether the aclocal.m4 of the project
|
|
|
is sufficent
|
|
|
|
|
|
* use automake for Makefile.in generation
|
|
|
|
|
|
* by default now only c-format is emitted in xgettext. If using the new
|
|
|
--debug option one can enable printing possible-c-format to see who
|
|
|
decided about the string: xgettext or the programmer
|
|
|
|
|
|
* the installed libintl.h file no longer depends on HAVE_LOCALE_H being
|
|
|
defined. After running configure we know whether this file exists.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* wrapping of lines in PO file output finally enabled.
|
|
|
A new special comment no-wrap prevents wrapping.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* add --statistics option to msgfmt to get information about number of
|
|
|
translated, untranslated, and fuzzy messages
|
|
|
|
|
|
* change behaviour of --verbose option to msgfmt. This no longer
|
|
|
causes the check on the messages to be performed. The check for leading
|
|
|
and trailing \n is always performed and the check of the format specifiers
|
|
|
is performed when --check is given.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* shared library support based On Gord Matzigkeit's libtool package
|
|
|
|
|
|
* msgcomm program by Peter Miller to extract messages shared by input
|
|
|
files
|
|
|
|
|
|
* many more translations.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Version 0.10 - December 1995, by Ulrich Drepper
|
|
|
|
|
|
* implement --shell-script option for gettext program
|
|
|
|
|
|
* implement object-oriented, lazy message handling :-)
|
|
|
Consult the manual for more/any information
|
|
|
|
|
|
* implement locale name aliasing, similar to the one used
|
|
|
in the X Window System
|
|
|
|
|
|
* support for GNU gettext sources in central place to support
|
|
|
use in development environments of other projects
|
|
|
|
|
|
* implement CEN syntax for environment variable values
|
|
|
|
|
|
* msgcmp program to find matches in two .po files
|
|
|
|
|
|
* programs now have exit status != 0 if errors occured
|
|
|
|
|
|
* libintl.a is now selfcontained and can be used without context in
|
|
|
other projects (even on systems missing alloca)
|
|
|
|
|
|
* gettextize now automatically runs config.status
|
|
|
|
|
|
* swedish message catalog
|
|
|
|
|
|
* new options for xgettext: -D/--directory to change in specified directory
|
|
|
before processing the input files and -f/--files-from to specify file from
|
|
|
which the names of the input files are read.
|
|
|
The later option in necessary for large projects such as GNU C Library.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* new programs msgmerge and msgunfmt by Peter Miller. The code of the other
|
|
|
programs is now also much cleaner.
|
|
|
|

|
Version 0.9 - August 1995, by Ulrich Drepper

|
|
|
|
|
* compilation now works with --disable-nls
|
|
|
|
|
|
* better checks
|
|
|
|
|
|
Version 0.8 - July 1995, by Ulrich Drepper
|
|
|
|
|
|
* much improved manual (although still far from being complete)
|
|
|
|
|
|
* improved PO mode; it now can prepare C sources for use with gettext
|
|
|
by marking translatable strings
|
|
|
|
|
|
* better support for sparse System V systems
|
|
|
|
|
|
* check goal (kind of)
|
|
|
|
|
|
* more input tests and warnings
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
* many bugs fixed
|
|
|
|
|
|
Version 0.7 - June 1995, by Ulrich Drepper
|
|
|
|
|
|
* New GNU package providing functionality to internationalize and
|
|
|
localize other programs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Implementation of the Uniforum(*) proposal for internationalization
|
|
|
on top of X/Open(*) style catgets functions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Complete implementation of the Uniforum functions for system
|
|
|
lacking either of them or those who which to have a different
|
|
|
implementation with many advantages.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Implementation of the three tools for message catalog handling
|
|
|
described in the Uniforum.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Emacs po-mode for handling portable message object files which are
|
|
|
the basis of the work of the package.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(*) Some history: The POSIX working groups have so far been unable to
|
|
|
agree on one set of message catalog handling functions for the C Library.
|
|
|
For now there are competing proposals, one by the Uniforum group, led by
|
|
|
Sun, and the other by X/Open. Although the latter is surely implemented
|
|
|
on more systems, it is not perceived as the clear leader.
