v0.26.0

This release changes the way you use Gettext. We're not crazy: it does so because doing so makes it a lot faster to compile projects that use Gettext. The changes you have to make to your code are minimal, and the old behavior is deprecated so that you will be guided on how to update.

The reason for this change is that it removes compile-time dependencies from modules that used to import a Gettext backend. In applications such as Phoenix applications, where every view and controller imports the Gettext backend, this change means a lot less compilation when you make translation changes!

Here's the new API. Now, instead of defining a Gettext backend (use Gettext) and then importing that to use its macros, you need to:

1. Define a Gettext backend with use Gettext.Backend
2. Import and use its macros with use Gettext, backend: MyApp.Gettext.

Before and After

Before this release, code using Gettext used to look something like this:

defmodule MyApp.Gettext do
  use Gettext, otp_app: :my_app
end
defmodule MyAppWeb.Controller do
import MyApp.Gettext
end

This creates a compile-time dependency for every module that imports the Gettext backend.

With this release, the above turns into:

defmodule MyApp.Gettext do
  use Gettext.Backend, otp_app: :my_app
end
defmodule MyAppWeb.Controller do
use Gettext, backend: MyApp.Gettext
end

We are also updating Phoenix generators to use the new API.

If you update Gettext and still use use Gettext, otp_app: :my_app to define a backend, Gettext will emit a warning now.
