* xgettext now understands the block comment syntax of Guile 2.0.
* libgettextpo library:
- The initial msgstr of a new message is now "", not NULL.
- 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.
* Portability:
- Building on MacOS X 10.7, Cygwin 1.7.10, and newer 64-bit mingw is
now supported.
* 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 a 3 MB large archive.
Changes 0.18:
* Runtime behaviour:
- On MacOS X and Windows systems, <libintl.h> now extends setlocale() and
newlocale() so that their determination of the default locale considers
the choice the user has made in the system control panels.
- On MacOS X systems, the gettext()/dgettext()/... functions now respect the
locale of the current thread, if a thread-specific locale has been set.
* 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 */
This information 'range: 0..15' is stored in the PO file as a flag attached
to the message. Translators can produce better translations when they know
that the numeric argument is small.
* Colorized PO files:
msgattrib, msgcomm, msgconv, msgen, msgfilter, msggrep, msginit, msgmerge,
msgunfmt, msguniq, xgettext now have options --color and --style, like msgcat
has since version 0.17.
* msgmerge is up to 10 times faster when the PO and POT files are large.
This speedup was contributed by Ralf Wildenhues.
* msgcmp has a new option -N/--no-fuzzy-matching, like msgmerge has since
version 0.12.
* msgfilter now sets environment variables during the invocation of the
filter, indicating the msgid and location of the messge being processed.
* xgettext now can extract plural forms from Qt 4 programs. The recommended
xgettext command-line options for this case are:
--qt --keyword=tr:1,1t --keyword=tr:1,2c,2t --keyword=tr:1,1,2c,3t
* xgettext --language=GCC-source now recognizes also the format strings
used in the Fortran front-end of the GCC compiler, and marks them as
'gfc-internal-format'.
* autopoint can now be used to update several PO directories all together.
set OVERRIDE_DIRDEPTH to find any libtool scripts deeper in the WRKSRC
tree unless they're named something other than "libtool".
SHLIBTOOL_OVERRIDE generally doesn't need to be specified either -- just
define it to the empty list and shlibtool-override will look for libtool
scripts.
RECOMMENDED is removed. It becomes ABI_DEPENDS.
BUILDLINK_RECOMMENDED.foo becomes BUILDLINK_ABI_DEPENDS.foo.
BUILDLINK_DEPENDS.foo becomes BUILDLINK_API_DEPENDS.foo.
BUILDLINK_DEPENDS does not change.
IGNORE_RECOMMENDED (which defaulted to "no") becomes USE_ABI_DEPENDS
which defaults to "yes".
Added to obsolete.mk checking for IGNORE_RECOMMENDED.
I did not manually go through and fix any aesthetic tab/spacing issues.
I have tested the above patch on DragonFly building and packaging
subversion and pkglint and their many dependencies.
I have also tested USE_ABI_DEPENDS=no on my NetBSD workstation (where I
have used IGNORE_RECOMMENDED for a long time). I have been an active user
of IGNORE_RECOMMENDED since it was available.
As suggested, I removed the documentation sentences suggesting bumping for
"security" issues.
As discussed on tech-pkg.
I will commit to revbump, pkglint, pkg_install, createbuildlink separately.
Note that if you use wip, it will fail! I will commit to pkgsrc-wip
later (within day).
including support for relocable programs, Qt support,
separation of the PO processing functions into a separate
library and more.
Reorganise the gettext infrastructure by splitting of the
tools into devel/gettext-tools, which will be used by the tools
framework. The remaining devel/gettext package contains
gettextize and autopoint aka the infrastructure to embbed gettext
into a package.
Due to the ABI and API changes, a recursive revision bump will
follow.
Take blaim by receiving the maintainer hat.

in the process. (More information on tech-pkg.)
Bump PKGREVISION and BUILDLINK_DEPENDS of all packages using libtool and
installing .la files.
Bump PKGREVISION (only) of all packages depending directly on the above
via a buildlink3 include.
USE_GNU_GETTEXT fix: afflicted systems couldn't compile gettext at all.
But, to be pedantic and fix possible unforeseen problems on systems where
the previous version *was* successfully compiling, bump PKGREVISION anyway.
undetected so that the Java classes aren't built and installed. The
gettext Java classes should go into a separate package so that all OSes
may install them, not just Solaris.
There are too many changes to list in a sensible way.
The most visible change for me is that libintl requires libiconv now.
Also untangled the 3 sub-pkgs -- a common patch dir makes it too complex.
This pkg used to expose buildlink2 problems - the pkg libintl was
pulled in in cases where USE_GNU_GETTEXT was not set. There were
some improvements to libtool filtering, and x11/gtk builds now, so
I hope this is settled.
Summary of changes:
- removal of USE_GTEXINFO
- addition of mk/texinfo.mk
- inclusion of this file in package Makefiles requiring it
- `install-info' substituted by `${INSTALL_INFO}' in PLISTs
- tuning of mk/bsd.pkg.mk:
removal of USE_GTEXINFO
INSTALL_INFO added to PLIST_SUBST
`${INSTALL_INFO}' replace `install-info' in target rules
print-PLIST target now generate `${INSTALL_INFO}' instead of `install-info'
- a couple of new patch files added for a handful of packages
- setting of the TEXINFO_OVERRIDE "switch" in packages Makefiles requiring it
- devel/cssc marked requiring texinfo 4.0
- a couple of packages Makefiles were tuned with respect of INFO_FILES and
makeinfo command usage
