Hello, It's been a long time since the last po4a release. So I intend to release po4a 0.35 in nearly 10 days (February 9). As usual, if you need more time to update the translations, just let me know. I can change the date, or plan a dot-release afterwards. If you want a feature or bug fix in 0.35, please raise your hand. On Debian, this release will be uploaded to experimental to avoid interferences (string changes) with the Lenny release, but this release should be considered stable enough for inclusion in other distributions. There have been significant changes in the Xml and even more in the Docbook modules. I would appreciate if you could test the Docbook module in advance. I made some tests with aptitude, which uses the docbook module for its documentation. It makes a few string changes, but I think these are improvements. I do not expect the update to be a hard task (however, I don't think it can be automated). Here are the current status of the translations: ================================================ Translations of the binaries: ----------------------------- af 22t 12f 143u ar 1t 176u bn 4t 2f 171u ca 147t 8f 22u cs 124t 27f 26u de 59t 22f 96u eo 34t 7f 136u es 147t 8f 22u et 71t 16f 90u eu 11t 2f 164u fr 171t 6u he 3t 1f 173u hr 30t 4f 143u id 132t 17f 28u it 136t 17f 24u ja 67t 36f 74u kn 33t 8f 136u ko 20t 1f 156u ku 4t 1f 172u nb 51t 19f 107u nl 20t 6f 151u oc 4t 5f 168u pl 170t 1f 6u pt_BR 41t 11f 125u pt 10t 2f 165u ru 170t 1f 6u sl 6t 8f 163u sv 133t 12f 32u uk 4t 6f 167u uz 5t 172u zh_CN 14t 1f 162u zh_HK 16t 6f 155u You can find the PO files in: http://alioth.debian.org/plugins/scmcvs/cvsweb.php/po4a/po/bin/?cvsroot=po4a Translations of the man pages: ------------------------------ ca.po 820t 123f 251u es.po 820t 123f 251u fr.po 1151t 11f 32u it.po 272t 109f 813u ja.po 1181t 6f 7u pl.po 1146t 25f 23u You can find the PO files in: http://alioth.debian.org/plugins/scmcvs/cvsweb.php/po4a/po/pod/?cvsroot=po4a The major changes for this release are: ======================================= po4a * Added support for the [po_directory] command in the configuration file. It permits to avoid listing the supported languages. Simply dropping a new PO file should be sufficient. It should be preferred over the po4a_langs and po4a_paths commands. po4a-normalize: * Added option -b, --blank to check which parts of a document are not translated. po4a-gettextize: * Improved conflict handling: indicate the reference of the alternatives when the same string has different translations. general: * Added support for a nowrapi18n option in Locale::Po4a::Common in order to use Locale::Po4a programatically. Docbook: * Improved support for Docbook 5 and Docbook 4, based on the official documentation of the Docbook tags. Sgml: * Add support for recursive inclusion. Text: * Added option asciidoc Xhtml: * Improvements for the <u> tag. xml: * Fix the nodefault option. Derivative modules should use _default_tags and _default_inline to define the default behavior of their module-specific tags (instead of tags and inline). * Speed improvements. * Added support for placeholders.
