New features with AN-2011-04-22: This is the first localization step for the schily source consolidation. Many programs now (hopefully) call gettext() for all strings that need localization. - The next step will include dgettext() calls for the libraries and the missing programs - The following step will include the extracted strings - The last step will include German translations and install support for the resulting binary message object files. ----------> Please test and report compilation problems! <--------- ***** NOTE: As mentioned since 2004, frontends to the tools should ***** ***** call all programs in the "C" locale ***** ***** by e.g. calling: LC_ALL=C cdrecord .... ***** ***** unless these frontends support localized strings ***** ***** used by the cdrtools with NLS support. ***** - Disable Simple suffix rules and Sufffix rules in smake to speedup builds - Added a comment in RULES/rules.rdi that this rule is no longer needed. Use RULES/rules.dir in all cases. - Star adds a new option -lzip and automated support to recognize lzip compressed archives. Thanks to markk@clara.co.uk - star now accepts a command like: star -c -onull -find . -ls as there is no archive output to stdout that could mix with the -ls output - libfind no longer exits the process in treewalk() in case that the path strings could not be allocated. - libfind::walkclose() now free()s the internal data structures in case of a user that does not call treewalk() (e.g. star -x) - Avoid some gcc warnings for patch - Avoid some gcc warnings for hdump/od - SCCS "val" now supports directory type command line arguments that result in scanning the related directory for s. files. - SCCS "val" now gives better debug messages with val -T, including line numbers for the s. file. - SCCS "sccs" now permits -R together with the val subcommand. - SCCS "sccs" now correctly deals with long path names (> 64 chars) when in -R mode - The diff command (as used by SCCS) now supports the -N option. - The sccsfile.4 man page now correclty mentions the ^Ahddddd checksum line. - patch(1) no longer calls mkdir(1) but mkdir(2) - Some forgotten variables in patch(1) are now off_t for large file compliance.
