Блогчетање 01 Dec 2009 https://danilo.segan.org/blog Данилово блогче en PHP-gettext 1.0.9 released https://danilo.segan.org/blog/ihatephp/php-gettext-1.0.9 php-gettext 1.0.9 is out: it integrates a number of fixes from different sources:

  • E_STRICT fixes: these were most commonly reported.
  • Improved plural forms handling: thanks to a patch by moeffju.net on the old tracker, plural form expressions should be now parsed in the similar way the regular C-based gettext parses them
  • Allow live switching of languages for an already initialised translation domain, using a patch from eventum
  • Provide fallback locale handling supporting standard GNU gettext locale names (eg. sr_RS.UTF-8@latin will try sr_RS@latin and sr@latin), inspired by another patch from eventum

With the endianness detection fix from 1.0.8, this should be a big step forward for everyone: 1.0.8 is simply a lower risk release with far fewer changes (just a fix for the most commonly reported bug). As far as I am aware, with 1.0.9, all of the users could switch back to using upstream php-gettext instead of their patched copy.

If not, I'd love to hear about it: ask a question or file a bug!

]]> PHP-gettext moved to Launchpad https://danilo.segan.org/blog/ihatephp/php-gettext-in-launchpad The common replacement for internal PHP gettext implementation which has flexibility of not depending on system-installed locales or gettext support being compiled in into PHP, has moved to Launchpad:

php-gettext

I've fixed the most annoying bug that's coming back depending on the architecture and every little change in PHP's handling of integers, and it should be now gone for good. That's available in the 1.0.8 release.

I also evaluated most of the patches/bug fixes from the old project page and a debian package, and integrated what still made sense.

I'll probably roll out another release soon which will include all the latest changes.
