Hello All, New version 2.93 of Boost.Locale was released: ============================================== Documentation: http://cppcms.sourceforge.net/boost_locale/html/index.html Downloads: https://sourceforge.net/projects/cppcms/files/boost_locale/ What is Boost.Locale ==================== Boost.Locale is a library that provides high quality localization facilities in a C++ way. It uses std::locale facets to provide localization in transparent and C++-aware manner. Changes in this version ======================== Breaking changes: ----------------- - The default locale's narrow encoding under Microsoft Windows is now UTF-8. It can be reverted back to ANSI encoding by using boost::locale::generator::use_ansi_encoding() for compatibility with legacy applications - The default encoding of "add_messages_path" (location of message catalogs) on Windows is now locale's encoding. Removed wide path API as inconsistent and too Windows specific. New Features: ------------- - Added date_time and calendar support for non-ICU based backends. It is limited to the Gregorian calendar only but fully supports local start of week and OS specific local time handling. Enhancements: ------------- - Major performance optimizations for ICU backend. It uses TLS for caching of collation and formatting objects. Boost.Thread is now required dependency when using ICU or using Boost < 1.43 - Performance optimizations for std collation backend - Added support of checking if current time is in daylight savings time - Tutorial is converted to Doxygen format and now much easier to navigate. - Language corrections of the tutorial by Chad Nelson. Thanks! - Workaround of ICU bug in detection of the OS timezone on Linux for ICU versions 4.0-4.4 - Numerous bug fixes. TODO: ----- Currently Boost.Build is not supported only CMake is valid build option. It would be fixed in next release before the formal review.
