304* Major changes in release 0.36 (2009-03-15)
305
306general:
307 * The "type:" comments in the PO files are now tagged as extracted
308 comments (starting with #.). This changes all the PO files generated by
309 po4a. Maintainers should just let these changes pass through.
310 Translator may want to remove the comment lines starting with '# type:'
311 as they will be duplicates with the '#. type:' comments.
312

318 issue a warning.
319 * The tags and tagsonly options are deprecated. Use the

321 * Added foldattributes option. Useful to simplify strings and avoid typos
322 when attributes shall not be translated.
323Man:
324 * Better handling of spaces in command arguments.

326 * Included files are searched with kpsewhich instead of using TEXINPUTS
327 directly.
328
329===============================================================================
330* Major changes in release 0.35 (2009-02-10)
331
332po4a
333 * Added support for the [po_directory] command in the configuration file.
334 It permits to avoid listing the supported languages. Simply dropping a
335 new PO file should be sufficient. It should be preferred over the
336 po4a_langs and po4a_paths commands.
337po4a-normalize:
338 * Added option -b, --blank to check which parts of a document are not
339 translated.

341 * Improved conflict handling: indicate the reference of the alternatives
342 when the same string has different translations.
343
344general:
345 * Added support for a nowrapi18n option in Locale::Po4a::Common in
346 order to use Locale::Po4a programatically.
347

350 support for the utf8 option.
351
352Docbook:
353 * Improved support for Docbook 5 and Docbook 4, based on the official
354 documentation of the Docbook tags.
355Pod:
356 * Announce the encoding in the POD header.
357Sgml:
358 * Add support for recursive inclusion.
359Text:
360 * Added option asciidoc
361Xhtml:
362 * Improvements for the <u> tag.
363xml:
364 * Fix the nodefault option. Derivative modules should use _default_tags
365 and _default_inline to define the default behavior of their
366 module-specific tags (instead of tags and inline).
367 * Speed improvements.
368 * Added support for placeholders.
369

380 nsgmls -p).
381text:

383 * Make sure files are not mixed together when gettextized at the same
384 time.
385packaging:

387

410
411This is a bug fix release.
412
413man:
414 * Do not translate - to \- inside \*[...], \(.., \H'...', or \Z'...'.
415

423* Major changes in release 0.33 (2008-03-03)
424
425Notes to packagers: Since 0.31, some tests in the sgml testsuite require
426the docbook sgml DTD. If you run the testsuite at build time you must have
427these DTD in your build dependencies or you must disable these tests
428cases in the testsuite.
429
430** New features
431 general: Support for PO files with plural forms.
432 Po4a does not generate such PO files, but it can receive one in
433 input. In such case, po4a cannot choose between the (singular
434 and) plural forms. It will consider that msgstr[0] is the
435 translation of msgid and msgstr[1] is the translation of
436 msgid_plural, which may be wrong. Thus, a warning will be
437 issued if po4a is asked to translate the singular or plural
438 form of a message with plural forms.
439
440 texinfo: Major changes. Tested on the elisp documentation.
441
442 sgml: Fail if nsgmls cannot validate the input file. This can be turned
443 off with the "force" option.
444
445 xml: New option "cpp" to support C preprocessor directives (this avoids
446 re-wrapping lines with preprocessor directives).
447 xml: New options "translated" and "untranslated" that should allow an
448 easier configuration of Xml (and derivative module)
449 xml: Avoid duplicated newlines at the end of lines of multi-lines
450 comments.
451 xml: Paragraphs which only consist in an inline tag are now extracted.
452 This makes a lot of string to available for translation in the PO
453 file.
454 docbook: Tested on the Docbook testsuite. Lots of tag added.
455
456 po4a: Fix failures with perl 5.10. Thanks to Roderich Schupp
457 <roderich.schupp@googlemail.com>
458
459 msguntypot: Fix handling of the comment of the PO header.
460
461===============================================================================
462* Major changes in release 0.32 (2007-08-15)
463
464** Security fix
465 Fix a symlink attack caused by the /tmp/gettextization.failed.po
466 temporary file.
467 (CVE-2007-4462)
468
469** Bug fixes
470
471 sgml: The handling of newlines was broken in no-wrap sections in 0.31
472
473 xhtml: The module is now distributed as the other modules.
474
475 texinfo: Fix infinite loop when a command parameter ends with \
476 (as in @samp{\})
477
478** New features
479
480 xml: New option includeexternal to support external entities.
481
482 texinfo: Added support for many commands and environment (see
483 changelog).
484
485 xhtml: New option includessi, which adds supports for Server Side
486 Includes include element (<!--#include virtual="/foo/bar.html" -->).
487
488 xml: New option ontagerror to control the behavior of the module in case
489 of error. This permits to support files that the module would
490 consider invalid otherwise.
491
492** Translations
493
494 New translations (Bengali, Estonian, Croatian, Indonesian, Kannada,
495 Korean, Occitan, Uzbek, Simplified Chinese, Chinese from Hong Kong) and
496 many updates.
497
498===============================================================================
499* Major changes in release 0.31 (2007-05-07)
500
501** Dependencies
502
503 po4a,
504 po4a-updatepo: New option --previous requires gettext 0.16.
505
506** Bug fixes
507
508 general: Don't hang when running in background with redirected stdout.
509 Thanks to Jim Meyering.
510
511** New features
512
513 general: po4a now uses timestamps to avoid re-generating a translation
514 if no changes are expected: if a translation is more recent
515 than its associated PO, master document, addenda or
516 configuration file, then there is no need to update it. For the
517 documents which do not pass the translation threshold, a
518 --stamp option was added to tell po4a to create files with a
519 .po4a-stamp extension (you can also create them manually).
520 This can save a lot of time when po4a knows that the
521 translation will not be generated because there were no changes
522 since the last po4a run.
523
524 general: Beginning of a C extension. This provides speedup. Testers are
525 welcomed.
526
527 po4a: New options: --msgid-bugs-address and --copyright-holder.
528
529 po4a: Add new tag: [options] to set global options (i.e. for every
530 documents in the configuration file).
531
532 po4a: Update translations based on modification times. Use timestamp to
533 avoid retrying generate uncompleted translations.
534
535 man: New 'unknown_macros' option to specify the behavior of po4a with
536 unknown groff macros.
537
538 man: Reset the configuration between two runs. This permits to define
539 different options for different files in a config file with the
540 opt:"..." parameters.
541
542===============================================================================
543* Major changes in release 0.30 (2007-01-05)
544
545** Bug fixes
546
547 man: Recode the text which is skipped, like comments.
548 This kind of issue may also appear on other modules.
549 A better solution would be to always use UTF-8 internally.
550
551 distribution: Some unit tests were missing.
552 Also, the dependencies have been simplified.
553 Locale::gettext, Text::WrapI18N, Term::ReadKey and SGMLS
554 are still recommended, but no more required.
555 The BibTex module is now distributed.
556
557 sgml: The module should be more friendly with XML files.
558
559 po4a: When po4a creates a new PO file, it now uses msginit. This may
560 change the header of created PO files.
561
562 guide: Major update of the tag definitions. Thanks to Azamat H.
563 Hackimov.
564
565 Po: use strftime instead of date because date is not available on
566 every platform.
567
568 tests: rename the XML testsuite to SGML, since it was testing the Sgml
569 module, and add a new testsuite for the Xml module (it currently
570 tests the Guide module).
571
572** Translations
573

585
586 sgml: Better line references in the generated PO.
587
588 sgml: Support for '/>' (empty XML tag closure) when an xml prologue is
589 found (<?xml ...?>).
590
591 po4a: When po4a create new PO files, it now uses msginit instead of
592 copying the POT file.

619 sgml: Better support for verbatim sections, and consider <cmdsynopsis>
620 as verbatim. <arg> and <option> are now in the ignore category.
621
622 general: Length calculation algorithm changed for wrapping lines in the
623 output document or in the PO. This should improve output when files are
624 encoded in UTF-8.
625
626===============================================================================
627* Major changes in release 0.28 (2006-08-17)
628
