1Version 0.16.1 - November 2006
2
3* Bug fix in the gettext.m4 autoconf macros.
4
5Version 0.16 - October 2006
6
7* Interoperability with automake-1.10.
8
9* Autoconf macros:
10  - The gettext autoconf macros now require autoconf 2.52 or newer.
11  - A new autoconf macro AM_GNU_GETTEXT_INTL_SUBDIR is added. It allows to
12    specify the presence of an intl/ subdirectory outside the AM_GNU_GETTEXT
13    invocation.
14  - A new autoconf macro AM_GNU_GETTEXT_NEED is added. It allows to specify
15    the requirements relating to the GNU gettext implementation outside the
16    AM_GNU_GETTEXT invocation.
17
18Version 0.14.4 - April 2005
19
20* The gettext autoconf macros will now work with the forthcoming g++ 4.0.
21* Fix improved detection of the locale on MacOS X.
22
23Version 0.14.2 - January 2005
24
25* Improved detection of the locale on MacOS X.
26* The gettext autoconf macros now require autoconf 2.50 or newer.
27
28Version 0.14 - January 2004
29
30* New library: GNU.Gettext.dll contains the runtime for using GNU gettext
31  message catalogs in C#.
32
33* Special advice for Norwegian users: The language code for Norwegian
34  bokmål changed from 'no' to 'nb' recently (in 2003). During the transition
35  period, while some message catalogs for this language are installed under
36  'nb' and some older ones under 'no', it's recommended for Norwegian users to
37  set the LANGUAGE environment variable to 'nb:no' so that both newer and
38  older translations are used.
39
40Version 0.13 - November 2003
41
42* On those few platforms (NetBSD and Woe32) for which the native
43  printf()/fprintf()/... functions don't support POSIX/XSI format strings
44  with positions, replacements are provided through <libintl.h>.
45
46* New function library:
47    gettext.sh - shell functions for internationalized shell scripts
48* New program:
49    envsubst - substitutes environment variables in shell format strings
50
51Version 0.12 - May 2003
52
53* A new C++ class, called gnu::autosprintf, makes it possible to use C format
54  strings in C++. This is needed for proper internationalization of C++
55  programs.
