Upstream changes:
0.42 2008-09-12
- Based on CLDR 1.6.1, but this has no changes in the data we use. I
just used 1.6.1 so people wouldn't ask me why I don't use 1.6.1 ;)
- In the switch to CLDR (back in 0.30), I accidentally dropped a
number of hard-coded aliases, notably for 'C'. These aliases have
been restored. Reported by Adam Kennedy. RT #39208.
- Generation of aliases based on the 3-letter ISO code for countries
is now based on the most recent version of ISO639.
to trigger/signal a rebuild for the transition 5.8.8 -> 5.10.0.
The list of packages is computed by finding all packages which end
up having either of PERL5_USE_PACKLIST, BUILDLINK_API_DEPENDS.perl,
or PERL5_PACKLIST defined in their make setup (tested via
"make show-vars VARNAMES=...").
Pkgsrc changes:
o Changed MAINTAINER to pkgsrc-users, per communication with maintainer
Upstream changes:
0.41 2008-07-12
- Based on CLDR 1.6
- Added the CLDR version to the catalog and generated files. In the
future, if you load a locale from an older CLDR version than the
catalog's version, you will get a warning.
0.4001 2008-05-19
- Minor changes to get test passing under 5.6.x.
0.40 2008-05-18
* Dropped support for Perl 5.005.
- Based on CLDR 1.5.1
- Massive reworking of the locale generation code. We now extract much
more information from the CLDR files. See the DateTime::Locale and
DateTime::Locale::Base documentation for details on what is
available.
- Lots of bug fixes in the data. The old generation code was often
extracting the draft form of a piece of data as opposed to the
current final form. There are also many other data fixes from this
new generation code.
- One of the notable additions is the inclusion of
$locale->format_for(...) and $locale->available_formats(). This
gives you access to formatting for various arbitrary patterns like
"year and month" or "month and day". Requested by Brian Hirt.
- Many of the new features in this release will only be available with
DateTime.pm 0.43+, since it requires a version of DateTime.pm which
can handle the CLDR date pattern language.
- All locale files now include POD with examples of the data they
include.
0.33 2007-01-06
- Based on CLDR 1.4.1.
- Some locales had am/pm names like "HASH(...)" because of a bug in
the script to generate the locale modules.
0.32 2006-11-20
- A bug in the STORABLE_freeze method in this class caused major test
failures for DT::Calendar::Chinese, which is used by
DT::Calendar::Japanese.
- Do better checking of locale names passed to DT::Locale->load(), so
we catch undef early before it causes a bunch of warnings.
0.3101 2006-10-23
- Fixed a test failure when DateTime::Locale is installed on a system
where DateTime.pm has never been installed.
- Fixed a test failure in bleadperl. RT Ticket #22515. Reported by
Steve Peters.
0.31 2006-10-22
- Added era_name() and era_abbreviation() methods for the use of
DateTime.pm.
0.30 2006-10-22
- Now using the CLDR data instead of ICU. This isn't a big change,
since the ICU data was derived from the CLDR data anyway.
- Based on CLDR 1.4.
* BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBILITY - Integrated the ISO639-2 aliases into
DateTime::LocaleCatalog, and removed
DateTime::Locale::Alias::ISO639_2.
- The data now include both abbreviated and long forms for eras. The
eras() method continues to return the abbreviated forms, but this is
deprecated. Use era_abbreviations() or era_names() instead.
- Added a STORABLE_attach method for integration with newer versions
of Storable which provide better support for singletons.
- The narrow versions of days and months was not available for most
locales, even though every locale should provide at least the
default values for these items.
Changes from 0.09:
0.22 2005-05-31
- Allow id names passed to load() to contain dashes or underscores, in
order to support RFC 3066 locale names, which use dashes.
- Fix bugs when a custom locale was registered and a "class" parameter
was passed to register(). Patch from Yann Kerherv.
- Switched to a "traditional" Makefile.PL file at Perrin Harkins'
request.
0.21 2005-02-28
- Fix era() method for year 0.
0.20 2005-02-26
* BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBILITY - The way DateTime::Locale::Base
subclasses work has changed. Subclasses should no longer implement
the date_formats() or time_formats() methods. Instead, they need to
provide one method per format length (full_date_format(),
long_date_format(), etc).
- Uses much newer (August, 2004) data from ICU. This includes a
number of new locales. See DateTime::LocaleCatalog for a list. This
new data also adds a new type of differentiator for locales, the
script (Latin vs Cyrillic, for example).
- Added new methods to get the "narrow" forms of a day or month.
- Implemented per-locale eras.
- Fix a number of doc typos and buglets. Patch by Jean Forget.
