representation. This changes the PO files, but translations could be

translated.

when the same string has different translations.

* Announce the encoding in the POD header.

module-specific tags (instead of tags and inline).
* Speed improvements.
* Added support for placeholders.
===============================================================================
* Major changes in release 0.34 (2008-07-20)
** New features
general:
* Do not end re-wrapped lines with a space.

time.

* Fix the installation path of manpages and .mo files.
===============================================================================
* Major changes in release 0.33 (2008-03-03)
Notes to packagers: Since 0.31, some tests in the sgml testsuite require
the docbook sgml DTD. If you run the testsuite at build time you must have
these DTD in your build dependencies or you must disable these tests
cases in the testsuite.
** New features
general: Support for PO files with plural forms.
Po4a does not generate such PO files, but it can receive one in
input. In such case, po4a cannot choose between the (singular
and) plural forms. It will consider that msgstr[0] is the
translation of msgid and msgstr[1] is the translation of
msgid_plural, which may be wrong. Thus, a warning will be
issued if po4a is asked to translate the singular or plural
form of a message with plural forms.
texinfo: Major changes. Tested on the elisp documentation.
sgml: Fail if nsgmls cannot validate the input file. This can be turned
off with the "force" option.
xml: New option "cpp" to support C preprocessor directives (this avoids
re-wrapping lines with preprocessor directives).
xml: New options "translated" and "untranslated" that should allow an
easier configuration of Xml (and derivative module)
xml: Avoid duplicated newlines at the end of lines of multi-lines
comments.
xml: Paragraphs which only consist in an inline tag are now extracted.
This makes a lot of string to available for translation in the PO
file.
docbook: Tested on the Docbook testsuite. Lots of tag added.
po4a: Fix failures with perl 5.10. Thanks to Roderich Schupp
<roderich.schupp@googlemail.com>
msguntypot: Fix handling of the comment of the PO header.
===============================================================================
* Major changes in release 0.32 (2007-08-15)
** Security fix
Fix a symlink attack caused by the /tmp/gettextization.failed.po
temporary file.
(CVE-2007-4462)
** Bug fixes
sgml: The handling of newlines was broken in no-wrap sections in 0.31
xhtml: The module is now distributed as the other modules.
texinfo: Fix infinite loop when a command parameter ends with \
(as in @samp{\})
** New features
xml: New option includeexternal to support external entities.
texinfo: Added support for many commands and environment (see
changelog).
xhtml: New option includessi, which adds supports for Server Side
Includes include element (<!--#include virtual="/foo/bar.html" -->).
xml: New option ontagerror to control the behavior of the module in case
of error. This permits to support files that the module would
consider invalid otherwise.
** Translations
New translations (Bengali, Estonian, Croatian, Indonesian, Kannada,
Korean, Occitan, Uzbek, Simplified Chinese, Chinese from Hong Kong) and
many updates.
===============================================================================
* Major changes in release 0.31 (2007-05-07)
** Dependencies
po4a,
po4a-updatepo: New option --previous requires gettext 0.16.
** Bug fixes
general: Don't hang when running in background with redirected stdout.
Thanks to Jim Meyering.
** New features
general: po4a now uses timestamps to avoid re-generating a translation
if no changes are expected: if a translation is more recent
than its associated PO, master document, addenda or
configuration file, then there is no need to update it. For the
documents which do not pass the translation threshold, a
--stamp option was added to tell po4a to create files with a
.po4a-stamp extension (you can also create them manually).
This can save a lot of time when po4a knows that the
translation will not be generated because there were no changes
since the last po4a run.
general: Beginning of a C extension. This provides speedup. Testers are
welcomed.
po4a: New options: --msgid-bugs-address and --copyright-holder.
po4a: Add new tag: [options] to set global options (i.e. for every
documents in the configuration file).
po4a: Update translations based on modification times. Use timestamp to
avoid retrying generate uncompleted translations.
man: New 'unknown_macros' option to specify the behavior of po4a with
unknown groff macros.
man: Reset the configuration between two runs. This permits to define
different options for different files in a config file with the
opt:"..." parameters.
===============================================================================
* Major changes in release 0.30 (2007-01-05)
** Bug fixes
man: Recode the text which is skipped, like comments.
This kind of issue may also appear on other modules.
A better solution would be to always use UTF-8 internally.
distribution: Some unit tests were missing.
Also, the dependencies have been simplified.
Locale::gettext, Text::WrapI18N, Term::ReadKey and SGMLS
are still recommended, but no more required.
The BibTex module is now distributed.
sgml: The module should be more friendly with XML files.
po4a: When po4a creates a new PO file, it now uses msginit. This may
change the header of created PO files.
guide: Major update of the tag definitions. Thanks to Azamat H.
Hackimov.
Po: use strftime instead of date because date is not available on
every platform.
tests: rename the XML testsuite to SGML, since it was testing the Sgml
module, and add a new testsuite for the Xml module (it currently
tests the Guide module).
** Translations
Updated Russian translation.
===============================================================================
* Major changes in release 0.29 (2006-10-15)
** New features
** Bug fixes
sgml: Remove the tags from the default categories when they are defined
by the user. This changes the behavior of the Sgml module's options.
sgml: Better line references in the generated PO.
sgml: Support for '/>' (empty XML tag closure) when an xml prologue is
found (<?xml ...?>).
po4a: When po4a create new PO files, it now uses msginit instead of
copying the POT file.
===============================================================================
* Major changes in release 0.29 (2006-10-15)
** New features
New module for .INI files. Thanks to Costin Stroie.
New module for BibTeX bibliographies.
man: New mdoc option for stricter support of mdoc pages (NAME section
not translated).
text: Support for underlined text.
text: Support for bulleted paragraphs (can be deactivated with
-o nobullets).
** Bug fixes
man: Keep empty commented lines.
man: Do not add spaces at the end of lines.
man: Languages without non breaking space could not use question marks.
sgml: Better support for verbatim sections, and consider <cmdsynopsis>
as verbatim. <arg> and <option> are now in the ignore category.
general: Length calculation algorithm changed for wrapping lines in the
output document or in the PO. This should improve output when files are
encoded in UTF-8.
===============================================================================
* Major changes in release 0.28 (2006-08-17)
** Bug fixes
man: Fix for .I " " and other minor bug fixes.
tex/latex: Documentation and usability improvements.
** Speed improvement
po4a: The POs are now only read once. This will speed the processing
when many documents are specified in a configuration file.
** Translations
Updated French translation.
