| ## i18n.xgettext recursive option now includes "private" dependencies |
| |
| Suppose we have: |
| |
| ``` |
| libA.dll -> libB.dll -> libC.dll |
| ``` |
| |
| Here, `libA` links with `libB`, and `libB` links with `libC`, but `libA` does |
| not link with `libC` directly. So, `libC` is a "private" dependency of `libB`. |
| If we collect strings to translate using: |
| |
| ``` |
| i18n.xgettext(libC) |
| i18n.xgettext(libB) |
| pot_file = i18n.xgettext(libA, recursive: true) |
| ``` |
| |
| Previously, strings from `libC` would not be included in `pot_file`, since |
| `libC` is not a direct link dependency of `libA`. This has been fixed: when |
| the `recursive: true` option is used, `xgettext` now recursively includes |
| translations from all dependencies, including those of dependencies. This is |
| more logical, as even if `libA` does not directly link with `libC`, it may |
| still need translated strings from `libC`. |
