Babel 1.0 Released

[Armin Ronacher]

Hi,

Just a quick update to keep everybody informed here as well:

Babel 1.0 is out now.  With that release it's also switching to major release version numbers similar to Firefox (and CLDR which we're depending on).

New:

- Python 3 support
- Better timezone handling
- Timezone transition predictions
- System timezone detection
- Relative date formatting
- CLDR 23 support
- Improved pluralization support

And more, see the CHANGES file for more information.

The new website is now at http://babel.pocoo.org/ together with updated docs.
Issue tracker is at https://github.com/mitsuhiko/babel

From here on we should see faster releases.  There is a fully automated release process in places now and it's much easier to do local development of Babel as we now automatically download and convert the CLDR on a single command.

I declared issue bankruptcy for the time being. If you run into issues file a new bug in the new tracker.


Regards,
Armin

This is great news, so glad to see this project moving forward again! And I've been looking forward to relative date formatting making it into the official release for a long time now.

Cheers,

Nathan

Thank you Armin! Great work!

As a side note, the new version even fixes a bug in Estonian full date
format which I hadn't yet noticed. After upgrading Babel, one of my test
suites failed on the following document which as i then noticed
contained indeed a wrong example:

Congratulations, Armin. Babel is a great project, and you were the
first to point it to me, back in 2009 or so at #pocoo when I barely
knew Python. Hah! :-)
