A well integrated set of tools and documentation that provides a
framework for producing multi-lingual messages in programs.
Includes a set of conventions for writing programs to support message
catalogs, a directory and file naming organization for message catalogs,
a library for retrieving translated messages, and programs for handling
translatable and translated strings.

Version 0.22 - June 2023
* The base Unicode standard is now updated to 15.0.0.
* Emacs PO mode:
Fix an incompatibility with Emacs version 29 or newer.
* PO file format:
- When a #: line contains references to file names that contain spaces,
these file names are surrounded by Unicode characters U+2068 and U+2069.
This makes it possible to parse such references correctly.
* Programming languages support:
- C, C++:
o xgettext now supports gettext-like functions that take wide strings
(of type 'const wchar_t *', 'const char16_t *', or 'const char32_t *')
as arguments.
o xgettext now recognizes numbers with digit separators, as defined by
ISO C 23, as tokens.
o xgettext and msgfmt now recognize the format string directive %b
(for binary integer output, as defined by ISO C 23) in format strings.
o xgettext and msgfmt now recognize the argument size specifiers
w8, w16, w32, w64, wf8, wf16, wf32, wf64 (as defined by ISO C 23)
in format strings.
o xgettext and msgfmt now recognize C++ format strings, as defined by
ISO C++ 20. They are marked as 'c++-format' in POT and PO files.
A new example has been added, 'hello-c++20', that illustrates how
to use these format strings with gettext.
- Java:
o The build system and tools now also support Java versions newer than
Java 11. This is known to work up to Java 20, at least. On the other
hand, support for old versions of Java (Java 1.5 and GCJ) has been
dropped.
- Tcl: xgettext now supports the \x, \u, and \U escapes as defined in
Tcl 8.6.
* Portability:
- On systems with musl libc, the *gettext() functions in libc now work
with MO files generated from PO files with an encoding other than UTF-8.
To this effect, the msgfmt program now converts the messages to UTF-8
encoding before storing them in a MO file. You can prevent this by
using the msgfmt --no-convert option.
- On systems with musl libc, the *gettext() functions in libc now work
with MO files generated from PO files with ISO C 99 <inttypes.h> format
string directive macros. To this effect, the msgfmt program pre-expands
strings with such macros. You can prevent this by using the msgfmt
--no-redundancy option.
* xgettext:
- The xgettext option '--sorted-output' is now deprecated.
- xgettext input files of type PO that are not all ASCII and not UTF-8
encoded are now handled correctly.
* Improvements for maintainers:
- The AM_GNU_GETTEXT macro now defines two variables localedir_c and
localedir_c_make, that can be used in C code or in Makefiles,
respectively, for representing the value of the --localedir configure
option.
