Translate Toolkit 1.10.0 — Translate Toolkit 1.13.0 documentation

# Translate Toolkit 1.10.0

Released on 12 March 2013

This release contains many improvements and bug fixes. While it contains many general improvements, it also specifically contains needed changes for the upcoming Pootle 2.5.0.

It is just over a year since the last release so there are many improvements across the board. A number of people contributed to this release and we’ve tried to credit them wherever possible (sorry if somehow we missed you).

## Highlighted improvements

- Android format support
- Version control improvements
- Source now on Github - all our code is now on github
- Documentation - migrated all from our wiki into the code and Read The Docs
- Continuous Integration using Travis

### Most important for Pootle

- Version control improvements
- Categorize pofilter checks into critical, functional, cosmetic, etc

### Formats and Converters

- Android format support [Michal Čihař]
- Mozilla .lang, many improvements
- PHP support for defintions, // comments and improved whitespace preservation
- PO: X-Merge-On header to explicitly demand a conversion strategy instead of guessing
- .properties: BOMs in messages and C style comments [Roman Imankulov]
- Mac OS String formatting improved [Roman Imankulov]
- The spaces in DTD files are now preserved. For example the spaces in `<!ENTITY some.label "definition">` around the entity name `some.label` are now kept.
- The matching criterion when merging units can now be specified with the `X-Merge-On` header. Available values for this header are location and id. By default merges will be done by matching IDs. This supersedes the effects of the `X-Accelerator` header when merging and establishes an explicit way to set the desired matching criterion.

### Version Control improvements

- Interface for adding files to a repository & Implement .add() for all VCSs.
- Caching of VC version info
- Don’t look for VCS if it’s not available
- Stop looking for VCS at a given parent
- Subversion VC tests
- Alway pass -m to ‘commit’ in Subversion to prevent blocking

### Checks

- New OpenOffice variables style used in extensions
- Check for self-closing tags in the xmltags test [Seb M].
- GConf test fixes
- Terminology checker type for future terminology features
