v0.2.9

New Features

XML Comment Removal

• Added removeComments option to msgfmtPlugin for automatic XML comment removal
• Automatically removes <!-- comments --> from XML output files
• Particularly useful for metainfo files where clean XML is preferred
• Defaults to true for cleaner output

Text Wrapping Control

• Added noWrap option to xgettextPlugin for disabling text wrapping in PO/POT files
• Prevents line breaks from being created during string extraction
• Automatically removes existing line breaks from PO files during updates
• Results in cleaner version control diffs and better compatibility with tools like Weblate
• Defaults to false (wrapping enabled)

Usage Examples

Clean XML Output:

msgfmtPlugin({
  poDirectory: "po",
  outputDirectory: "public/metainfo",
  format: "xml",
  templateFile: "data/metainfo/myapp.metainfo.xml.in",
  removeComments: true, // Remove XML comments
})

Unwrapped PO Files:

xgettextPlugin({
  sources: ["src/**/*.{ts,js}"],
  output: "po/messages.pot",
  noWrap: true, // Disable text wrapping
})
