gnun-0.9 released [stable]

Subject: gnun-0.9 released [stable]

We are pleased to announce that GNUN 0.9 has been released and is
available at ftp.gnu.org and its mirrors.

GNUN is a build system for www.gnu.org translations with the sole task
to make their maintenance easier.  GNUN is supposed to work behind
the scenes, so it is not necessary for translators to install it
locally.

The package includes two manuals -- the GNUnited Nations Manual (gnun)
and the GNU Web Translators Manual (web-trans); the latter is
the official documentation for the www.gnu.org translation process
and is a must read for all translation team leaders.

In this version, the layout of generated HTML pages was made more
customizable with CSS as well as and SSI, an initial testsuite was
added, the command line parsers of GNUN utilities were rewritten to
accept different orders of the arguments.  As usual, a few bugs were
fixed.  For a full list of user-visible changes, see the NEWS excerpt
at the end of this message.

All who run GNUN locally are highly encouraged to upgrade; current
www.gnu.org pages already can't build with GNUN 0.8.

[*] Use a .sig file to verify that the corresponding file (without the
.sig suffix) is intact.  First, be sure to download both the .sig file
and the corresponding tarball.  Then, run a command like this:

  gpg --verify gnun-0.9.tar.gz.sig

If that command fails because you don't have the required public key,
then run this command to import it:

  gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 0xD835DD16

and rerun the 'gpg --verify' command.

This release was bootstrapped with the following tools:
  Autoconf 2.65
  Automake 1.11.6
  Makeinfo 5.2

gnun-0.9/NEWS

* Changes in GNUnited Nations 0.9 (2014-05-22)

** Apache variables are inserted at the beginning of the generated
   HTML file.

** `make-prototype.awk' was modified to enclose translator's notes
   in `<div class="translators-notes">' rather than in
   `<div style="font-size: small;">'; the `<p>' element preceeding
   translator's credits may have attributes.

** An initial testsuite was added.

** Command line parsers for `gnun-init-po',
   `gnun-merge-preconverted', `gnun-preconvert',
   `gnun-report', `gnun-validate-html', `update-localized-urls' were
   rewritten to accept file names mixed with options like
   GNU coreutils do, and joint options like `-hv'; also, those
   utilities now uniformly accept `-h' and `-v' as shortcuts
   for `--help' and `--version'.

** `gnun-merge-preconverted' now accepts the `--disable-diffs'
   option.

** `gnun-diff-po' now accepts a directory as the second argument.

** Bugs fixed in 0.9.

*** In GNUmakefile, the `<style>' elements could wrap, which
    broke long generated contents strings.

*** `gnun-validate-html' didn't work with awks that don't
    recognize `\>' in their regular expressions.

*** <span class="gnun-split"></span> didn't work in templates.

*** The GNUN tag (<gnun>) weren't eliminated correctly when
    it appeared in a line more than once; this limited
    usage of the <span class="gnun-split"></span> feature.

*** `gnun-diff-po' and `gnun-report' didn't use valid identifiers
    as function names (worked with bash-4.1, didn't work
    with bash-3.2).

*** In GNUmakefile.team, the `all', `sync', `notify' and `report'
    targets were broken.
