0.45 2010-03-19
- Installing this release will cause older versions of
DateTime::Format::Strptime to warn like crazy. Please update
DateTime::Format::Strptime if you install this release.
- This is an interim release still based on CLDR 1.7.1 pending the release of
Locale::CLDR, which will happen real soon now, for some definition of soon.
- Removed dependency on Class::ISA and just copied what we need from said
module directly. Class::ISA warns as deprecated if used with Perl 5.11.0,
even though it works just fine (doh). RT #53940.
- All methods deprecated in the last release now warn when called.
- Added methods to return per-locale strftime formats from the glibc
data. These methods are not yet documented. They are just there for now to
allow me to update DateTime::Format::Strptime.
0.44 2009-09-12
- All methods which return strftime-style patterns are officially deprecated
(and have been a little broken for some time, regardless). This includes all
date and time format methods ending in "_format".
- Other deprecated methods include:
date_parts_order, date_before_time
era, eras
month_name, month_abbreviation, month_narrow
month_names, month_abbreviations, month_narrows
day_name, day_abbreviation, day_narrow
day_names, day_abbreviations, day_narrows
quarter_name, quarter_abbreviation, quarter_narrow
quarter_names, quarter_abbreviations
am_pm, am_pms
era_name, era_abbreviation
era_narrow, era_names, era_abbreviations
- All of these deprecated methods will eventually be removed. If you are using
them directly, please change your code.
- Converted data files in tools/t/test-data to Unix line endings. This works
around a bug in Module::Signature. Reported by Zefram. RT #49085.
- Require Params::Validate 0.91, since 0.89 caused test failures for
someone. Reported by Jeremy Hetzler. RT #41365.
- Moved code to my hg repo at http://hg.urth.org/hg/DateTime-Locale.
0.43 2009-06-30
- Based on CLDR 1.7.1, which includes support for several new
languages, as well as lots of 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.
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.
0.35 2007-09-09
0.34 2007-03-05
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.
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 Kerhervé.
- 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.
0.09 2004-03-09
- Added Storable freeze & thaw hooks.
0.08 2004-02-12
- No code changes, just a Makefile.PL update to work with
Module::Build 0.23.
0.07 2003-12-14
- If given an id like 'en_US.UTF-8', DateTime::Locale would die with
the message 'Can't locate object method "loadfrom_id" via package
"DateTime::Locale" at /usr/share/perl5/DateTime/Locale.pm line 220'.
Reported by Sylvain Daubert.
0.06 2003-12-08
- The DateTime::Locale docs now includes docs for all the methods that
a locale object has.
0.05 2003-10-03
- Really make the documentation and code match! This time there are
even tests for this. Reported by David Hood (again).
- DateTime::Locale won't try to load a class if it already has a new()
method. This is so you can define multiple locale subclasses in one
file and load that file yourself before calling the load() method.
0.04 2003-10-03
- The documentation incorrectly showed the DateTime::Locale->register
method as taking an array, rather than an array of hash references.
Reported by David Hood.
0.03 2003-08-06
- Once a locale is loaded, it is cached in memory, so that locale
objects are singletons. Calling methods that change the locale
registry, like register() or remove_alias(), clear that cache. This
should provide a noticeable speed boost when constructing many
DateTime objects with the same locale. Based on a patch from John
Siracusa.
0.02 2003-07-25
- Make sure tests pass without requiring DateTime 0.14 to be
installed. Reported by Claus Farber.
- Document default formats and format lengths in
DateTime::Locale::Base.
