    The Unicode Consortium is pleased to announce the release of CLDR 1.3
    Alpha, available via http://unicode.org/cldr/repository_access.html. We
    encourage people to look at the data and provide feedback on the progress
    towards CLDR 1.3, especially on the new POSIX-format data and the changes
    in the specification. For more details, see
    http://unicode.org/Public/cldr/1.3.0/readme.txt

    The main features are:

    - The addition of new data to support localization of timezones
    - The addition of data for UN M.49 regions, including continents
            and regions
    - A complete set of POSIX-format data generated from the XML format,
            plus a tool to generate versions for different platforms.
    - The canonicalization of the data files, including the consolidation
            of inherited data
    - The restriction of currency codes to ISO 4217 codes (past and present)
    - The addition of number and data tests, for verifying that
            implementations correctly implement the LDML specification
            using CLDR data.
    - Various other fixes and additions of data, and extensions to the
            specification.

    NOTE: Feedback should not be provided via the online Unicode forms;
    instead, use http://unicode.org/cldr/filing_bug_reports.html
