There were some notable changes to the CLDR JSON format and data in this
release.
The patterns for a date at a specific time, i.e. "{date} at {time}", now
appear under the "atTime" attribute of the "dateTimeFormats" object.
Locale specific changes that affected test-js:
All locales:
* In many patterns, the code points U+00A0 (NO-BREAK SPACE) and U+202F
(NARROW NO-BREAK SPACE) are now used in place of an ASCII space. For
example, before the "dayPeriod" fields AM and PM.
* Separators such as U+2013 (EN DASH) are now surrounded by U+2009 (THIN
SPACE) in place of an ASCII space character.
Locale "en":
* Narrow localizations of time formats are even more narrow. For
example, the abbreviation "wk." for "week" is now just "wk".
Locale "ar":
* The code point U+060C (ARABIC COMMA) is now used in place of an ASCII
comma.
* The code point U+200F (RIGHT-TO-LEFT MARK) now appears at the
beginning of many localizations.
* When the "latn" numbering system is used for currency formatting, the
currency symbol more consistently is placed at the end of the pattern.
Locale "he":
* The "many" plural rules category has been removed.
Locales "zh" and "es-419":
* Several display-name localizations were changed.
Intl.DisplayNames v2 adds "calendar" and "dateTimeField" types, as well
as a "languageDisplay" option for the "language" type. This just adds
these options to the constructor.
Currently, LibUnicode is only parsing and generating the "long" style of
currency display names. However, the CLDR contains "short" and "narrow"
forms as well that need to be handled. Parse these, and update LibJS to
actually respect the "style" option provided by the user for displaying
currencies with Intl.DisplayNames.
Note: There are some discrepencies between the engines on how style is
handled. In particular, running:
new Intl.DisplayNames('en', {type:'currency', style:'narrow'}).of('usd')
Gives:
SpiderMoney: "USD"
V8: "US Dollar"
LibJS: "$"
And running:
new Intl.DisplayNames('en', {type:'currency', style:'short'}).of('usd')
Gives:
SpiderMonkey: "$"
V8: "US Dollar"
LibJS: "$"
My best guess is V8 isn't handling style, and just returning the long
form (which is what LibJS did before this commit). And SpiderMoney can
handle some styles, but if they don't have a value for the requested
style, they fall back to the canonicalized code passed into of().
ErrorType::IntlInvalidCode has almost exactly the same message as
ErrorType::OptionIsNotValidValue. Remove it, as all uses of the former
are semantically interchangeable with the latter.
Note that only option type=region is really implemented. Other types
will resort to the fallback option. This prototype method will be able
to implement other type options once LibUnicode supports more.
There is notably FIXME notations in this commit regarding Unicode locale
extensions. We are not parsing extensions (or private use extensions) at
all yet.
