[Po4a-devel] Preparation of the next po4a 0.35 release

[Nicolas François]

Hello,

Last version (0.35) was released less than one month ago, but there has
been lots of changes and bugfixes that would need to go in the wild.

I intend to release po4a 0.36 in about 10 days (March 15, 22:00 UTC).

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.

This is also the right time to request bug fixes for this version.

Here are the current status of the translations:

The major changes for this release are:
=======================================
general:
 * The "type:" comments in the PO files are now tagged as extracted
   comments (starting with #.). This changes all the PO files generated by
   po4a. Maintainers should just let these changes pass through.
   Translator may want to remove the comment lines starting with '# type:'
   as they will be duplicates with the '#. type:' comments.

Xml:
 * Placeholders are presented with a type and have a more valid XML
   representation. This changes the PO files, but translations could be
   updated automatically.
 * Do not fail when the doctype does not match the expected one. Only
   issue a warning.
 * The tags and tagsonly options are deprecated. Use the
   translated/untranslated and break/inline/placeholder options instead.
 * Added foldattributes option. Useful to simplify strings and avoid typos
   when attributes shall not be translated.
Man:
 * Better handling of spaces in command arguments.
TeX:
 * Included files are searched with kpsewhich instead of using TEXINPUTS
   directly.
