- Update from version 0.21 to 0.22
- Update of rootfile
- Changelog
0.22 - June 2023
* 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.
* 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.
* 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.
* The base Unicode standard is now updated to 15.0.0.
* Emacs PO mode:
Fix an incompatibility with Emacs version 29 or newer.
0.21.1 - October 2022
* Runtime behaviour:
- On AIX, locale names with a script or with an uppercase language are now
supported.
For example, sr_Cyrl_RS.UTF-8 is treated like sr_RS.UTF-8@cyrillic, and
EN_US.UTF-8 is treated like en_US.UTF-8.
* The base Unicode standard is now updated to 14.0.0.
* Portability:
- Building on macOS 11/arm64 is now supported.
- Building on Linux/powerpc64le with glibc ≥ 2.35 is now supported.

Historically, the MD5 checksums in our LFS files serve as a protection
against broken downloads, or accidentally corrupted source files.
While the sources are nowadays downloaded via HTTPS, it make sense to
beef up integrity protection for them, since transparently intercepting
TLS is believed to be feasible for more powerful actors, and the state
of the public PKI ecosystem is clearly not helping.
Therefore, this patch switches from MD5 to BLAKE2, updating all LFS
files as well as make.sh to deal with this checksum algorithm. BLAKE2 is
notably faster (and more secure) than SHA2, so the performance penalty
introduced by this patch is negligible, if noticeable at all.
In preparation of this patch, the toolchain files currently used have
been supplied with BLAKE2 checksums as well on
https://source.ipfire.org/.

Instead of attempting to build the parts we need, we will build the
whole package and only install the files we want.

Most of these files still used old dates and/or domain names for contact
mail addresses. This is now replaced by an up-to-date copyright line.
Just some housekeeping... :-)

This will allow us to run multiple builds on the same
system at the same time (or at least have them on disk).
