And it’s time to move forward.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">As mentioned in the PR, I’ve personally been utilizing this new version of ‘gettext’ for the past six months. It’s been installed everywhere, across every one of my macOS installations - physical and virtual - from 10.6
through 10.15. So I’m quite comfortable with releasing this change.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">That certainly doesn't guarantee that we won't
encounter a problem somewhere. However, this update isn't likely to cause much of any fallout, given the backward-compatible nature of ‘gettext’.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><div class="">So... I’m making one final call for feedback. If there are any concerns or objections to this PR, please try to voice those by end-of-day today. Likewise, if you believe we can move forward, positive feedback would be great as well.</div></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">This update is long-overdue, and will be a nice improvement. Please support the effort to merge this, and speak up here, and/or on the PR itself!</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Cheers and Thanks,</div><div class="">-Chris</div></body></html>
