This release breaks an unwritten rule: version of gettext-sys crate no longer matches that of the bundled GNU gettext library. gettext-sys contains a tiny bit of Rust code which previously didn't require any major version bumps. However, unsoundness in setlocale (#64) made me realise that this in unsustainable. The newest GNU gettext version is 1.0, but I (Alexander Batischev) am not ready to bump gettext-sys to 1.0. Thus I am releasing this as 0.27, and will continue with 0.x versioning until such time that I'm confident enough to cut a 1.0.

Added

• Support for Cygwin's system libraries when building with gettext-system feature (Yuyi Wang)

Changed

• Bump bundled GNU gettext to 0.23.2 (Alexander Batischev)

Added

• Support for glibc/libintl shipped with GNU/Hurd (Pino Toscano)

Changed

• Stop building libgettext binaries that aren't required for gettext-sys. This speeds up the compilation of the vendored GNU gettext by an order of magnitude (Bruno Haible, Alexander Batischev)

Fixed

• Build failure with Clang 16 (Alexander Batischev)

Changed

• wbindtextdomain is now a Rust function rather than a C symbol. The symbol is now named libintl_wbindtextdomain, for better compatibility with MinGW. This change only affects Windows (Marin)

Fixed

• Only check for build dependencies when actually building the library (Ignacio Casal Quinteiro)

Fixed

• Build failure on some systems which put libraries into "lib64" directory (#73) (Alexander Batischev)

Changed

• Dependency on tempdir is replaced by dependency on temp-dir, which is way more lightweight (Amrit Brar)

Added

• A note regarding GNU gettext's LGPL license (Alexander Batischev)

• gettext-system feature which asks the crate to use gettext that's built into libc (if available) (François Laignel)
• Use xz to compress the bundled GNU gettext tarball, to save space (Daniel García Moreno)
