 * New programs msgcat, msgconv, msgen, msgexec, msggrep, msguniq.
 
+* The tools now know about format strings in other languages than C.  They
+  recognize new message flags named lisp-format, java-format, python-format,
+  ycp-format.  When such a flag is present, the msgfmt program verifies the
+  consistency of the translated and the untranslated format string.
+
+* The msgfmt command line options have changed.  Option -c now also checks
+  the header entry, a check which was earlier activated through -v.  Option
+  -C corresponds to the compatibility checks earlier activated through -v -v.
+  Option -v now only increases verbosity and doesn't influence whether msgfmt
+  succeeds or fails.
+
 * msgcomm now writes its results to standard output by default. The options
   -d/--default-domain and -p/--output-dir have been removed.
