## <a id="3-0-0">3.0.0</a>: 2013-08-31
This is a new major version up release!
This release removes many deprecated APIs and improves internal
APIs. We want to keep backward compatibility as much as possible but
some existing codes may be broken by gettext gem API change. If your
code breaks by gettext gem 3.0.0, please report your problem. We will
fix the problem and release a new version.
### Improvements

* `GetText.msgmerge`. Use `GetText::Tools::MsgMerge.run` instead.
* `GetText.create_mofiles`. Use `GetText::Tools::Task` instead.
* `GetText::PoParser`. Use `GetText::POParser` instead.
* `require "gettext/tools/poparser"`.
Use `require "gettext/po_parser"` instead.
* `require "gettext/runtime/mofile"`.
