 Version 0.11.6 - October 2002
 
+* The gettext package is now separated into two subpackages:
+  - gettext-runtime: Runtime libraries and programs.
+  - gettext-tools: Tools and documentation for developers and translators.
+  The 'gettext-runtime' package is very small and should be installed on every
+  system that has users who desire to use internationalization. Whereas the
+  'gettext-tools' package is only for developers and translators.
+
 * xgettext now also supports Smalltalk and PHP.
 
 * A new C++ class, called gnu::autosprintf, makes it possible to use C format
