v0.2.1 (in development)

• Skip tests on machines where gettext is unavailable, #187; also alter the msgfmt command executed to create .mo files to skip options unavailable on Solaris, #218
• Faster parsing of src messages (e.g. get_message_data() for the base package reduced from 14 to 7 seconds), #119
• [New feature] New argument max_translations for translate_package() to limit the number of translations done, #188
• When adding metadata for a new language, added tolerance for whitespace differences in specifying plurals, #183
• [New feature] get_message_data() skips over messages on lines with comments # notranslate, and regions of lines between matched pairs of comments # notranslate start and # notranslate end, #10. Most useful for small fragmentary strings that are untranslateable/not worth translating, and for strings that are technically untranslateable (e.g., because they contain \r).
• [New function] write_po_file() to convert a message database to a .po or .pot file manually (previously this was handled internally by translate_package()), #203. Also a constructor for the associated po_metadata class, po_metadata(). See ?po_metadata.
• [Bugfix] get_message_data() does a better job on files with unmatched parentheses inside preprocessor macros (#defines) in C/C++ files, #199

v0.2.0 (June 2202)

• Landed on CRAN!
