Warner is >perfectly correct: 2.0.5 was a full release. Period. Sigh... I plan to make locale aliasing (the same as X locale.alias does) in more comfortable 2.2 schedule... 2.0.5 8859-1 ctype is wrong in several places (fixed now in -current but I don't see this fix passed to 2.1 as I ask!), I doubt that anybody even could use 2.0.5 8859-1 locale efficiently, as its developer I can say that it was added per experimental basis, so I don't expect backward capability to it will even been demanded. Moreover, all 8859-1 links in share/locale are invalid, because fr_FR/LC_TIME != de_DE/LC_TIME f.e. Now I change my mind a bit because parsing locale.alias takes a lot time comparing to filesystem links following, parsing degradates program startup speed. Jordan, expect current links removing and creating a lot more newest ones (they will solve backward capability too). -- Andrey A.
