the unicode consortium has announced the release of version 1.3 of the Common Locale Data Repository (CLDR). this release pumps up the locale data from 230+ to 296 locales (96 languages and 130 territories). this release's highlights include:- a complete set of POSIX-format data generated, along with a tool to generate different platform versions.
- the addition of new data to support localization of timezones
- the addition of data for UN M.49 regions, including continents and region
- the canonicalization (data in many forms converted to a "standard" form) of the data files, including the consolidation of inherited data
- currency codes are restricted to ISO 4217 codes (historical as well)
- number and data tests to verify LDML implementations
- metadata for LDML
- mappings from language to script and territory
- various other fixes and additions of data, and extensions to the specification
for more details see the press blurb and the version information page.
as a reminder, icu4j makes use of the CLDR for it's locale data. hubba hubba.

I published a series of posts on globalizing a coldfusion application at my blog. Much of my research came from your contributions to the Advanced CF book and articles you have written for CFDJ. I wanted to thank you for your contributions on the topic. Please feel free to critique what I have written if you have the time.
