I'm pleased to announce that GNUN 1.6 has been released
and is available at ftp.gnu.org and its mirrors.

Version 1.6 introduces a few NGINX compatibility features.
SSI expansion routines are made more flexible and closer
to what HTTP servers do.  A separate script gnun-expand-ssi
is added; previously, SSI expansion only was done as part
of validation done in gnun-validate-html.

GNUN is a build system for www.gnu.org translations with the sole task
to make their maintenance easier.  GNUN is supposed to work behind
the scenes, so it is not necessary for translators to install it
locally.

The package includes two manuals---the GNUnited Nations Manual (gnun)
and the GNU Web Translators Manual (web-trans); the latter is
the official documentation for the www.gnu.org translation process
and is a must read for all translation team leaders.

Here are the compressed sources and a GPG detached signature:

gnun-1.6.tar.gz

Use a .sig file to verify that the corresponding file (without the
.sig suffix) is intact.  First, be sure to download both the .sig file
and the corresponding tarball.  Then, run a command like this:

  gpg --verify gnun-1.6.tar.gz.sig gnun-1.6.tar.gz

If that command fails because you don't have the required public keys,
then run this command to import them:

  gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 
    0x1BBBC053D835DD16 0xE0ACD3E0CBE7874A

You can also download them from Savannah and then import:

  wget -O gnun-keys.gpg 
    'https://savannah.gnu.org/project/release-gpgkeys.php?group=gnun&download=1'
  gpg --import gnun-keys.gpg

The parameters of the signing keys for this release are

rsa2048 2012-01-17 [SC]
3EAE C8A0 4B97 561F 2A52  E35E 1BBB C053 D835 DD16

rsa2048 2014-10-21 [SC]
BD9D 4DEE 7B2F F1CB EF2E  E0C4 E0AC D3E0 CBE7 874A

To check them, run

  gpg --fingerprint 0x1BBBC053D835DD16 0xE0ACD3E0CBE7874A

Then rerun the 'gpg --verify' command.

In order to further validate these keys, request an in-person
key signing session.


This release was bootstrapped with the following tools:
  Autoconf 2.71
  Automake 1.16.5
  Makeinfo 6.8

gnun-1.6/NEWS

* Changes in GNUnited Nations 1.6 (2026-03-08)

** A check for Albanian sorting is added to installcheck.

** New configure option, --disable-language-ssi.  Insert SSI definitions
   for LANGUAGE_SUFFIX and RTL_SCRIPT in genreated pages, to make the behavior
   more consistent between NGINX and Apache.  Previously, these variables were
   defined in /server/head-include-1.$lang.html.  The option is on by default.

** When inserting outdated SSI variables into pages, the instruction for setting
   ENGLISH_PAGE is preserved.

** Parallel generating locales is supported when building GNUN.  Previously,
   they were generated in a single target, stamp-i18n.mk.

** The validate-all target is redefined as dependent on per-file rules.
   That works around the 'Argument list too long' error in Bash and allows
   for parallel execution.

** New script, gnun-expand-ssi.  The script adds functionality to pass
   marked SSI instructions verbatim, and to detect SSI constructs unsupported
   in NGINX, see gnun-expand-ssi description in doc/gnun.texi.

** When expanding SSI,

*** Exit with error when can't extract path in '<!--#include...-->'.

*** Support the form with no space before the closing '-->', like <!--#endif-->
    (as opposed to <!--#endif -->); a warning is output to stderr.

*** Support relative paths in <!--#include...--> directives.

*** Make sure that included paths don't exceed the specified root directory.

*** Warn about absolute paths in '<!--#include file=...-->'; exit with error
    in --nginx mode.

*** Support query strings in include directories like
    '<!--#include virtual="/path-to-file?query-string" -->'.

** New options in gnun-validate-html, --nginx, --var-size-limit, --deps,
   --max-include-level.

** Bugs fixed in 1.6

*** When used with GNU Awk 5.1.0, gnun-validate-html emitted a warning
    about an unknown regex escape sequence '\"'.
