[Translate-announce] Translate Toolkit 1.7.0 released

[F W. <fr...@tr...>]

Today the Translate team released version 1.7.0 of the Translate
Toolkit.  The Translate Toolkit contains many useful tools for
translation, management, and quality control. It is the technology
platform for Pootle, Virtaal, and other software.

This release contains several improvements and bug fixes.

This work was made possible by volunteers and our funders:
 - ANLoc, funded by IDRC http://africanlocalisation.net/


Highlighted improvements
========================

 - Support for Array constructs in the PHP converter
 - Detect the target language from the PO team header
 - Improvements in detecting languages for many other formats
 - Correctly migrate the header comments from the old PO file in pot2po
 - Handle certain malformed PO files better
 - Reliability improvements for Qt TS and XLIFF
 - Support for longer terminology entries
 - New plural information:
   - Sinhala (si)
   - Aragonese (an)
   - Catalan (Valencia) (ca@valencia)
   - Romansh (rm)
   - Tatar (tt)
 - Some language specific customisations for Sinhala and Thai. This
should result in more useful quality checks. Pootle should automatically
regenerate all statistics with the new Translate Toolkit installed. More
information about the quality checks is here:

We also package a new bash script,  junitmsgfmt  that runs msgfmt and
provides junit-type output for use in continuous integration systems
such as Hudson.  Read more on Dwayne's blog:

Smaller changes:
- Reliability improvements for Lucene when Pootle is under Apache
- Correctly use the header encoding when opening .mo files
- Avoid adding an extra type comment line (#,) (bug 1400)
- Support any delimiter (=, : or space) in po2prop as we do in prop2po
- Better handling of non-default encodings for .rc files
- Removed the deprecated .changeencoding() function in pypo
- Many improvements to the unit tests
