Note that this support is still incomplete, notably we don't have
*_vc17.sln files yet and the official build scripts haven't been updated
to build MSVS 2022 binaries neither.
As shown by the fact that no other platform-specific translations were
ever added since the initial version of locale/msw/it.po added way back
in 4d931bcca0 (Translate '&Help' to '&' for italian Windows only,
2005-08-12), this is not especially useful, so just handle this
particular case specially in wxGetStockLabel() and remove support for
platform-specific translations.
This allows to simplify the makefiles and the catalog loading code as
there is no need to deal with the files in subdirectories any more.
Warning about gettext versions earlier than 0.10.35 is pointless,
as even 0.10.35 is from 2001, and so old it isn't even available
on GNU mirrors anymore. We shall not recommend a specific version in
the first place.
The proper way to start a new translation is to use msginit to initialize
a .po file -- just copying the .pot leaves many fields to their default
values, which the translator would need to fill in manually (the
Plural-Forms: field in particular).
Also remove the part about updating version.bkl from the pre-release
section, as this is done after the release.
As this leaves only 2 items in the numbered list of the things to do,
remove the list entirely.
Document bakefile version needed and the commands for regenerating the
files generated by it.
Also update instructions for changing C:R:A values.
Closes https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/pull/1838
This is now done automatically in the GitHub action of wxWidgets/website
repository.
Do mention that rebuilding the web site requires the release to be
available.
Mention that we use the legacy 0.2 bakefile branch.
Also use https://www.bakefile.org/ as Bakefile home page location.
Finally, use backticks around more files names, especially those
containing asterisks, that break Markdown syntax highlighting in Vim
otherwise.
Remove update steps for wxBlog (because it's redundant with the news
post on www.wxwidgets.org now that both are hosted at the same site),
Google+ (because of its extinction) and Buildbot (because we're going to
stop using it soon anyhow).
Add a step for updating the list of compilers used for building
binaries.
It makes more sense to update it manually once and then run the script
rather than partially updating it manually first, then updating it again
and then running the script.
This file was added in 4d524cdd0e a long
time ago but doesn't seem to have been ever actually used for anything
and is outdated, e.g. contains LSRequiresCarbon=true, which shouldn't be
used any longer.
Remove the file itself and all references to it.
Buildbot configuration was redone in pure Python (see master.cfg in
https://github.com/wxWidgets/buildbot repository) since several years
already, there is no need to keep these obsolete files.
For the release candidates, allow passing the version (e.g. "3.1.1-rc")
to post-release.sh on the command line and document this.
Also don't commit automatically, this is annoying, especially as the
script doesn't check for errors.
Finally, fix the problem with the CHM file name: it must be zipped,
presumably to avoid problems with some firewalls blocking downloading
CHM files (as there is really no advantage in compressing the already
compressed CHM file otherwise).
Use "git submodule foreach" to run "git archive" in all of the
submodules as well.
Also document the requirement to have GNU tar which is needed to be able
to successfully extract several concatenated tar archives.
Update dates in various files before the release automatically.
Also automatically update SHA-1 of the release files both before the
release (to zero them) and afterwards (to use the correct values).
