Log Message:
Update gettext packages to 0.19.2:
Version 0.19.2 - July 2014
* Bug fixes:
- Fix xgettext crash in parsing empty string literals in C and Vala.
- ChangeLog file is added back to the gettext infrastructure. It was
mistakenly removed in 0.19.
- Autoconf macro trace in autopoint now works again with Autoconf 2.68
or earlier. It was a regression in 0.19.
Version 0.19.1 - June 2014
* Programming languages support:
- Desktop Entry:
msgfmt now always reads the po/LINGUAS file, regardless of whether
the LINGUAS environment variable is set. The variable can now be
used to restrict the languages list read from the po/LINGUAS file.
- Vala:
Bug fix in xgettext handling of "//" in string literals. This was
a regression after the C-99 Unicode escape support.
* The po/Makevars.template file now contains the newly added variables.
* msgfmt now treats errors in the PO file header as non-fatal. Since
0.19 msgfmt started to abort on the fatal errors, but some
translation systems are still not ready to supply valid headers.
* Future backward-incompatibilities:
- In future Gettext versions, msgfmt will treat header errors as
fatal and terminate the command execution.
Version 0.19 - June 2014
* Programming languages support:
- Desktop Entry:
xgettext and msgfmt now support .desktop files, used by desktop
applications, as input and output.
- GSettings:
xgettext now supports GSettings schema file format used by GNOME
applications.
- JavaScript:
xgettext now recognizes E4X (ECMA-357) constructs.
- PHP:
Single and double quotes around heredoc markers are now recognized.
- Python:
The acceptable format specifiers in the braced-syntax format
strings are now limited to the Standard Format Specifiers, to
reasonably avoid false-positives.
- Scheme:
The gettext shorthand form _"abc", used by GIMP script-fu, is now
recognized by xgettext.
- C and Vala:
xgettext now recognizes C99-style Unicode character escapes.
* The --add-location option of msgattrib, msgcat, msgcomm, msgconv,
msgen, msgfilter, msggrep, msgmerge, msguniq, and xgettext commands
now takes an optional argument 'never', 'full', or 'file', to
control the format of "#: ..." comments.
* msgfmt now has --source option to keep generated .java file when
running in Java mode.
* msgattrib now has --empty option that sets msgstr to empty when
clearing fuzzy flag.
* msgexec and msgfilter pass the plural information to subprocess
through the environment variable MSG{EXEC,FILTER}_MSGID_PLURAL and
MSG{EXEC,FILTER}_PLURAL_FORM.
* New built-in filters 'quot' and 'boldquot' have been added to
msgfilter. These filters convert Latin quotation marks ('...',
"...") into Unicode quotation marks (for example, U+2018) if
possible, similar to the sed commands used in po/Rules-quot and
po/Rules-boldquot.
* The po/Makevars file has a couple of new options PO_DEPENDS_ON_POT
and DIST_DEPENDS_ON_UPDATE_PO, that can be used to adjust the
behavior of updating PO files on demand.
* xgettext now strips prefixed string before the comment tag. This is
useful to support C-style comment like this:
/*
* TRANSLATORS: first line
* second line
*/
In this example, the extracted comment does not contain "* " at the
beginning of each line.
* libgettextpo library:
- Memory leak fixes in the PO file parser.
* Documentation:
- A complete example showing the use of GNU gettext in a GNOME 3
application has been added.
