  1. 5.0
  2. 6.0–7
  3. 8–13

Bugs

Like most Gettext tools they do a little bit more than documented, msgconv(1) will decide which strings are in fact fuzzy and delete fuzzy marking - not a lot but you do need to diff (this probably related to #, fuzzy entries that are not placed in the place Gettext expects them).
