With PyOxidizer 0.18.0 AppName in setup.py has to be changed to the
all lower case "linkchecker".
Application translations do not work.
better_exchook2.fallback_findfile() may still need converting, first
needs a test.
drop_privileges() is only used by the linkchecker command.
Move installing SIGUSR1 handler to the linkchecker command only - fixes
intermittent test failures.
Makes it easier to contribute and accept translations.
Does add a new dependency on installation from source, polib. This is
not made mandatory because not all users will want translations.
polib has no further dependencies and can be installed anywhere
LinkChecker can, using pip too.
Add release process step to check polib is installed
The Wheel still includes translations. Recommend install from PyPI in
the README.
Translations were being compiled in setup.py until 2014, using a bundled
copy of msgfmt.py.

I don't like the extra MANIFEST file lying around. It clashes with the
old distutils feature of having a MANIFEST file. I intend to replace
this check with check-manifest.
It is confusing to have different versions of the code self-identify
with the same version number. In my experience it's always best to
increment the version number and add a .dev0 suffix right after making a
release. When it's time to make a new release, you remove the .dev0,
commit, tag that commit, then make second commit that bumps the version
and adds .dev0 back.
This way only releases identify themselves as "version X.Y.Z" with no
.dev0 suffix and it's immediatelly apparent when you've got a prerelease
installed from git.
Except for tests that include non-unicode characters:
tests/test_po.py
tests/test_strformat.py
tests/test_url.py
tests/checker/test_error.py
tests/checker/test_news.py
