.. _changelog#0.10:

Translate Toolkit 0.10
======================

*Released on 29 August 2006*

.. _changelog#po_to_xliff_conversion:

PO to XLIFF conversion
----------------------

Conversion from PO to XLIFF is greatly improved in 0.10 and this was done
according to the specification at
http://xliff-tools.freedesktop.org/wiki/Projects/XliffPoGuide -- please let us
know if there are features lacking.

.. _changelog#pot2po_can_replace_msgmerge:

pot2po can replace msgmerge
---------------------------

:doc:`/commands/pot2po` has undergone major changes which means that it now
respects your header entries, can resurrect obsolete messages, does fuzzy
matching using :doc:`Levenshtein distance </commands/levenshtein_distance>`
algorithm, will correctly match messages with KDE style comments and can use an
external Translation Memory.  You can now use pot2po instead of Gettext's
msgmerge and it can also replace :doc:`/commands/pomigrate2`.  You may still
want to use pomigrate2 if there where file movements between versions as pot2po
can still not do intelligent matching of PO and POT files, pomigrate2 has also
been adapted so that it can use pot2po as it background merging tool. ::

  pomigrate2 --use-compendium --pot2po <old> <pot> <new>

This will migrate file with a compendium built from PO files in *<old>* and
will use pot2po as its conversion engine.

.. _changelog#.properties_pretty_formatting:

.properties pretty formatting
-----------------------------

When using templates for generating translated .properties files we will now
preserve the formatting around the equal sign.

.. code-block:: properties

  # Previously if the template had
  property     =      value

.. code-block:: properties

  # We output
  property=translation

.. code-block:: properties

  # We will now output
  property     =      translation

This change ensures that there is less noise when checking differences against
the template file.  However, there will be quite a bit of noise when you make
your first .properties commits with the new pretty layout.  Our suggestion is
that you make a single commit of .properties files without changes of
translations to gt the formatting correct.
