- GNU gettext reaches version 1.0 after over 30 years of development.
- Originally developed by Sun Microsystems in the early 1990s, GNU gettext became part of the GNU Project in 1995.
- GNU gettext is widely used for internationalization and localization in open-source projects.
- Version 1.0 introduces PO file handling improvements and new programs like 'po-fetch', 'msgpre', and 'spit'.
- 'msgpre' and 'spit' utilize Large Language Models (LLMs) for machine translation.
- Documentation now includes warnings about LLM licensing to align with free software principles.
- Additional improvements include support for Ocaml and Rust programming languages.
- GNU gettext 1.0 is available for download from GNU.org.
