Hi all,

this is the announcement of KBabel version 0.3

KBabel is an advanced and easy to use PO-file editor.

New in version 0.3 is a full featured Catalog Manager with following features:
- File manager view for kde-i18n (or similarly structured) directories, which
   shows the present status of all PO files: if they are in need of a revision
   or not, how many fuzzies and untranslated strings are included etc. This view
   is always automatically updated and reflects all changes done to the
   files, including changes by programs other than KBabel
- Various file open mechanisms for editing in KBabel: use Drag & Drop,
   double click, keyboard or context menu.
- "Mark files" function (e.g. to identify POs that are in the responsibilty
   of other translators)
- Automatic comparisons and statistics of POT and PO files for a quick overview
   which and how many files are translated (or not) and which files may be
   obsolete
- Syntax check for existing files (msgfmt --statistics) to control if the
   translated files will compile and, accordingly, work when distributed
- Free configurable commands, that can be executed from the Catalog Manager's
   context menu

Other new features in version 0.3 are:
- Automatic syntax check with msgfmt when saving and if an error
   occured easy navigation to messages, which contain errors.
- Full Drag & Drop support
- Of course all new parts of KBabel come with extensive context help, as the
   older parts have, too.
- All new functions, as well as the older ones, are widely configurable through
   an easy to use and clear preferences dialog.
