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
