 Version 0.26 - July 2025

 # Programming languages support:
   * JavaScript:
     - xgettext now parses regular expressions with character classes
       correctly.
   * C, C++, Python, JavaScript, EmacsLisp, librep, Go, Ruby, awk, D, Tcl,
     Perl, PHP:
     - xgettext's heuristic recognition of format strings has been
 improved:
       strings like "100% complete" (with a space flag in a format
 directive)
       are no longer flagged as format strings by default, unless they
 occur
       in a context that requires a format string.  You can override this
       heuristic by using a comment of the form /* xgettext: c-format */.
   * Shell:
     - The documentation now mentions two other approaches for
       internationalizing messages with parameters in shell scripts.
     - xgettext now recognizes format strings in the 'printf' command
 syntax.
       They are marked as 'sh-printf-format' in POT and PO files.
     - Two new programs 'printf_gettext' and 'printf_ngettext' are
 provided,
       that do formatted output with a localized format string in a more
       efficient way (without spawning a subshell).
     - xgettext now recognizes the \c, \u, and \U escape sequences in
 dollar-
       single-quoted strings $'...'.

 # Improvements for maintainers:
   * xgettext:
     - When extracting a message with plural that is some format string,
       xgettext now verifies that the msgid and msgid_plural are compatible
       as format strings.  For most format string types, this still allows
       omitting from msgid a placeholder that is used in msgid_plural.  But
       when a placeholder is used in both msgid and msgid_plural, its type
       must be the same in both.
     - xgettext now suggests a refactoring when a translatable string
       contains an URL or email address.

 # Improvements for translators:
   * msggrep:
     - msggrep accepts two new options -W/--workflow-flags and -S/--sticky-
 flags
       that allow to select only messages that have a specified flag.

 # Bug fixes:
   - The AM_GNU_GETTEXT macro now rejects the dysfunctional gettext()
 function
     in libc of Solaris 11.[0-3], Solaris OpenIndiana, and Solaris OmniOS.
   - The AM_GNU_GETTEXT macro now recognizes, on MSVC, the GNU libintl
 built
     as a shared library.
