Version1.2	CLDR1.2	LDML1.2	Changes1.2	`release-1-2`

CLDR Version 1.2 contains data for 232 locales, covering 72 languages and 108 territories. There are also 63 draft locales in the process of being developed, covering an additional 27 languages and 28 territories.

This is a stable release and may be used as reference material or cited as a normative reference by other specifications. Although the data in this release will not be changed, bug reports and feature requests for future versions filed at Bug Reports.

In this release, the major additions to CLDR are:

Data: Many names for languages, territories, and scripts have been added, as well as for time zones, calendars, and other named items such as collation; the data has been compacted by removal of inherited or aliased data; plus other fixes and additions.
Structure: The LDML specification has been enhanced substantially. It now has self-contained descriptions of date / number / choice format patterns, inheritance and validity, time zone fallbacks, and provides lists of all valid attribute values. The XML format adds structure to assist in vetting, to allow for multiple sets of exemplar characters (indicating characters in use in particular locales), to represent relative dates and times, to provide better support for time zone names, and to strengthen the alias mechanism.
Implementation: The new collation tests allow implementations to verify correct use of locale data. For comparison of data, by-type charts and vetting charts were added. The CLDR source now does not require ICU for generation.
