v2.6.0

Release v2.6.0

This release focuses on code quality improvements, enhanced documentation, and better handling of PO/MO files. It includes significant refactoring for maintainability and introduces new features for header and charset handling.

✨ New Features

• Enhanced Header Handling:
  • Refactored header configuration in pkg/go/parse using HeaderConfig and CustomHeader.
  • Improved PO header handling with better template support and validation.
• Flexible Color Output: Added CLI color options (auto, always, never) for better terminal output control.
• Improved Charset Support: New internal/util/charset.go for robust charset validation.

🛠 Improvements

• Code Quality & Organization:
  • Comprehensive docstrings added to all public types, functions, and methods in the PO package.
  • Renamed variables/functions for clarity (e.g., LitterConfig → LitterOptions).
  • Standardized error handling and logging messages.
• MO File Handling:
  • Replaced unsafe pointer-based endianness check with cpu.IsBigEndian from golang.org/x/sys.
  • Restructured MoHeader to use explicit MajorVersion/MinorVersion fields.
• Testing Utilities:
  • Enhanced diff formatting and equality checks in tests.
  • Removed unused dependencies and added new utility packages (e.g., sanity-io/litter).

📚 Documentation

• Updated Code Comments: Improved explanations and organization across the codebase.
• Refreshed Diagrams: Updated PUML files for better visual documentation.

⚠️ Breaking Changes

• Header handling in pkg/go/parse now uses HeaderConfig and CustomHeader instead of separate options.
• CLI color flag changed from boolean to string enum (auto/always/never).

v2.5.0

Release v2.5.0

This release brings significant improvements in documentation, build system optimizations, and a new optional CLI wrapper for better tool management.

✨ New Features

• Optional Unified CLI: Introduced gotext-tools as a convenience wrapper for all tools (msgofmt, msgomerge, xgotext), while maintaining standalone binaries.
• Auto-generated Documentation:
  • New docs command generates Markdown & man pages for all tools.
  • Added doc-tree for complete documentation hierarchy.
• Enhanced Build System:
  • Smarter Go file detection (now checks any .go file).
  • New cli-docs recipe for automated CLI docs generation.

🛠 Improvements

• Memory Efficiency: Replaced map[T]bool with zero-memory map[T]struct{} for tracking.
• Error Handling: More consistent logging and error propagation.
• Terminal Output:
  • Standardized formatting across all tools.
  • Improved --verbose flag support.
• Simplified Build: Removed support for rare architectures/OSes to reduce complexity.

📚 Documentation

• Updated README: Clarified installation and new wrapper usage.
• Tool Documentation: All commands now have consistent help output with examples.
• Internal Docs: Better code comments and package explanations.

⚙️ Installation Options

Choose either:

1. Standalone Tools (traditional)

git clone https://github.com/Tom5521/gotext-tools
cd gotext-tools
just go-install xgotext
just go-install msgomerge
just go-install msgofmt
# etc...

3. Optional Wrapper (recommended for CLI)

git clone https://github.com/Tom5521/gotext-tools
cd gotext-tools
just go-install gotext-tools
gotext-tools [tool] [args]... [flags]...

Full Changelog: v2.4.1...v2.5.0

---

Note: The new wrapper is completely optional - all tools remain available as standalone binaries.

v2.4.1

Full Changelog: v2.4.0...v2.4.1

v2.4.0

Release v2.4.0

This release introduces several improvements to the CLI tools, syntax highlighting support, and better code organization. Important note: Starting with v2.4.0, the CLI tools have been moved to a Go submodule to avoid unnecessary dependencies in the main library - go install will no longer work directly from the root module.

✨ New Features

• Added syntax highlighting support for PO files with configurable colors
• New msgofmt CLI tool for formatting PO files (documentation included)
• Improved terminal detection for color output in msgomerge
• CLI tools now use proper command names instead of os.Args[0]

🛠 Improvements

• Refactored PO parsing utilities into internal package
• Extracted MO compilation logic into separate file for better organization
• Improved build system and Justfile recipes
• Updated dependencies and module structure
• Removed duplicated tests and added more benchmarks

📚 Documentation

• Added comprehensive README for new msgofmt tool
• Updated main README to include msgofmt in tools list
• Modified installation instructions for all CLI tools

⚠️ Important Changes for CLI Users

The CLI tools are now in a separate Go submodule to keep the main library lightweight. To install CLI tools after v2.4.0:

git clone https://github.com/Tom5521/gotext-tools
just # Or $ just go-install app

This change ensures the main library doesn't pull in unnecessary dependencies for applications that only need the core functionality.
