Release Release v3.4.2 — Aún Más Cambios Innecesarios · 4jamesccraven/mkdev

I'm back, and I added more stuff that nobody asked for! /j

New Features

mkdev is now (somewhat) locale-aware. Error messages and warnings, among other things, can change based on your system's locale! No longer are you bound to my preference for the -ise ending instead of -ize. #14, #15
- I have also provided a Spanish internationalisation #16. I'm open and interested to having more translations, but I am not personally qualified to provide them. If you speak something other than English or Spanish and are interesting in contributing translations, reach out!
- Only the error messages are internationalised—that means no man pages, no help messages. Just warnings and errors. The ecosystem is very bare in this regard so for now it's a limitation I'll just have to accept unless someone is in desperate need. Make an issue if so (I say in English).
In addition to the standard man pages, there is now a man page for mkdev's config file: mkdev-config(5) #12
- To access it (on most of the unices) just type man 5 mkdev-config
You can have mkdev output its recipes in a null-separated output. This makes passing a list of recipes to something like xargs significantly easier #17
- e.g., to show the contents of all recipes you could do this: mk list -t print0 | xargs -0 -I{} mk list {}

As a natural consequence of the i18n efforts, the error messages themselves got touched up a bit. They should (hopefully) be a bit clearer about what went wrong, which part of the process it went wrong (e.g., loading the config, or during evocation), and they should overall be a bit easier to read.
Overall, this update cleared a lot of tech debt for some much larger features I have planned for v3.5 and beyond.

Thanks as always.

Also despite the em dashes, I wrote this myself. I went out of my way to copy and paste and em dash, yes, leave me alone.
