po4a v0.74 released
by Martin Quinson
Hello,
I just release a new version of po4a, containing over one year of good changes
from the community. This release is dedicated to Simone Weil, a French
philosopher whose ideas continue to inspire me. She lived true to her beliefs,
practically engaged in many political activities in her communities while
dismissing top-down political parties. She's also an example of what to not do,
in some sense, as she died of extrem asceticism and compation for the suffering
caused by the WW2. Please friends, don't go so hardcore that you die :)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simone_Weil
This new version contains many good changes contributed by the community.
Gemmaro contributed three new modules: org, vim-help and SimplePod. The later
one is meant to be a drop-in replacement for the old Pod module that is based
on a deprecated Pod parser. We expect the new module to contain some bugs as it
was not battle tested in production conditions, so we rely on you guys to
report all issues that need to be fixed before removing the old pod module.
Many specific format modules received some love to fix the bugs that were
reported and to implement some missing features: AsciiDoc, Markdown, TeX and
Texinfo. Thanks to all contributors.
The core of the framework was also updated to remove some roting bits. po4a is
over 20 years old, and the Perl language evolved (for the best) since then.
It's about time to fix our Perl usage :)
Finally, the translators did it great with two new translation (Romanian and
Tamil), and an astonishing list of 14 languages over 90% of the program
messages and 9 languages over 90% of the documentation. Thanks to all!

using future Texinfo parser/reader for Texinfo Locale::Po4a parser?
by Patrice Dumas
Hello,
I am a developper of GNU Texinfo. For the next release, we are planning
an interface to a Texinfo Parser/Reader similar to libxml2 reader
(XML::LibXML::Reader) or Pod::Simple::PullParser. I think that it could
be possible to use that Parser/Reader interface to do a Locale::Po4a
parser relatively easily. However, the interface is actually a SWIG
wrapper around internal libraries. Using that interface therefore adds
a requirement on makeinfo/texi2any (or equivalently on the
makeinfo/texi2any internal libraries), which may not be practical for
you.
Would you be interested by a Locale::Po4a Texinfo parser based on this
interface?

Hi, the PR #540 [1] is quite ready to be merged. The only thing is to
decide if we need those additional checks. Also If there is some time,
I would like to tuckle up issue #551 [2], as I kinda started it, but
got carried away.

Releasing po4a ?
by Martin Quinson
Hello friends,
do someone have something ongoing, or we could think about releasing a version
of po4a before the (north) summer break?
Thanks in advance,
