[Po4a-devel] Preparation of the next po4a 0.29 release

[Nicolas François]

Hello,

I intend to release po4a next weekend (15th of October).

This should be the last release before the release of Debian Etch.

Here are the current status of the translations:

The major changes for this release are:
=======================================

** 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)

** 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.

  All: 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.

I will maybe work on the text module to make sure it can deal with Debian's
README and NEWS files. This should not require string changes.

Kind Regards,
