Version 0.10 - September 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 * 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 * again many improvements on the manual * norwegian message catalog * 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 * better support for integration in other packages * 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.
