= Ruby-Locale-0.9.0  
Ruby-Locale is the pure ruby library which provides basic APIs for  
localization.  
It aims to support all environments which ruby works and all kind of  
programs  
(GUI, WWW, library, etc), and becomes the hub of other i18n/l10n  
libs/apps to  
handle major locale ID standards.  
\* Manage Locale ID(Language Tag)  
\* Thread safe. Each thread has a Locale ID.  
\* POSIX, CLDR, IETF(RFC4646, 3066(BCP47)), Win32 and Java  
language tags  
and convert the tag each others.  
\* Auto detect Locale ID. POSIX(Unix/Linux/\*BSD), Win32, JRuby,  
CGI.  
\* Resources  
\* ISO 639-3 languages  
\* ISO 3166 region(countries).  
\* Support Ruby 1.8.7, Ruby 1.9.1, JRuby 1.1.4. Tested on Win32 and  
Linux.

= Ruby-Locale for Ruby on Rails-0.1.0  
Ruby-Locale for Ruby on Rails is the L10n plugin which works with  
Ruby on Rails 2.2.  
This is the first library which depends on Ruby-Locale.

It supports Rails i18n and have the features below:  
\* Auto-Detect the client locale  
\* Detect candidate locales from supported locales by the  
application.  
\* Localized Routes  
\* Localized Action/Fragment cache  
\* Localized view template files

= Special Thanks  
To the previous maintainers of Ruby-Locale.
