- Update to 0.26:
* C, C++, Python, JavaScript, EmacsLisp, librep, Go, Ruby, awk, D, Tcl,
Perl, PHP:
- xgettext's heuristic recognition of format strings has been improved:
strings like "100% complete" (with a space flag in a format directive)
are no longer flagged as format strings by default, unless they occur
in a context that requires a format string. You can override this
heuristic by using a comment of the form /* xgettext: c-format */.
* Shell:
- The documentation now mentions two other approaches for
internationalizing messages with parameters in shell scripts.
- xgettext now recognizes format strings in the 'printf' command syntax.
They are marked as 'sh-printf-format' in POT and PO files.
- Two new programs 'printf_gettext' and 'printf_ngettext' are provided,
that do formatted output with a localized format string in a more
efficient way (without spawning a subshell).
- xgettext now recognizes the \c, \u, and \U escape sequences in dollar-
single-quoted strings $'...'.
# Improvements for maintainers:
* xgettext:
- When extracting a message with plural that is some format string,
xgettext now verifies that the msgid and msgid_plural are compatible
as format strings. For most format string types, this still allows
omitting from msgid a placeholder that is used in msgid_plural. But
when a placeholder is used in both msgid and msgid_plural, its type
must be the same in both.
- xgettext now suggests a refactoring when a translatable string
contains an URL or email address.
# Improvements for translators:
* msggrep:
- msggrep accepts two new options -W/--workflow-flags and -S/--sticky-flags
that allow to select only messages that have a specified flag.
- Refresh patches.

of GNU gettext in a multithreaded web server.

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

+ msgfmt now eliminates the POT-Creation-Date header field from .mo files.
+ msgmerge now has an option --for-msgfmt, that produces a PO file meant
for use by msgfmt only. This option saves processing time, in particular
by omitting fuzzy matching that is not useful in this situation.
+ The .pot file in a 'po' directory is now erased by "make maintainer-clean".
+ It is now possible to override xgettext options from the po/Makefile.in.in
through options in XGETTEXT_OPTIONS (declared in po/Makevars).
+ The --intl option of the gettextize program (deprecated since 2010) is
no longer available. Instead of including the intl sources in your package,
we suggest making the libintl library an optional prerequisite of your
package. This will simplify the build system of your package.
+ Accordingly, the Autoconf macro AM_GNU_GETTEXT_INTL_SUBDIR is gone as well.

* Bug fixes in the functions po_message_is_range,
po_file_check_all, po_message_check_all.
+ Installation options:
The configure options --with-xz and --with-bzip2 can be used to
specify alternate compression methods for the archive used by
the 'autopoint' program. These options, together with
--with-git, allow to trade dependencies against installed
package size. --with-xz has the highest compression rate,
followed by --with-git, followed by --with-bzip2.
+ Autoconf macros:
* The autoconf macros installed by 'gettextize' now work with
the forthcoming Automake 1.14 and require Autoconf version
2.60 or newer.

* Building on MacOS X 10.7, Cygwin 1.7.10, and newer 64-bit

Version 0.18.1 - June 2010
* msggrep: A '$' anchor in a regular expression now also matches
the end of the string, even if it does not end in a newline.
* Dependencies:
The libraries and programs are now linked with libunistring if
this library is already installed.
* Installation options:
The configure option --with-cvs is deprecated. The 'autopoint'
program will now use the 'git' program by default to compress its
archive. If the configure option --without-git is specified,
'autopoint' will not rely on 'git', but will instead rely on a
locally installed 3 MB large archive.
Version 0.18 - May 2010
* PO file format:
There is a new field 'Language' in the header entry. It denotes
the language code (plus optional country code) for the PO file.
This field can be used by automated tools, such as spell
checkers. It is expected to be more reliable than looking at the
file name or at the 'Language-Team' field in the header entry.
msgmerge, msgcat, msgen have a new option --lang that allows to
specify this field. Additionally, msgmerge fills in this new
field by looking at the 'Language-Team' field (if the --lang
option is not given).
* xgettext and PO file format:
For messages with plural forms, programmers can inform the
translators about the range of possible values of the numeric
argument, like this:
/* xgettext: range: 0..15 */
