I will fix this, but the new regex was written based on the list of released versions in gettext trunk's NEWS file. May I suggest that that file should mention *all* released versions on all branches? (In case you're wondering, I changed the regex because I needed to translate it to a set of shell globs for use in the Autoconf testsuite and the old regex was too clever for me to make sense of.) zw
