* Imported Upstream version 3.67
- ISO 639-3: Update from the latest upstream sources. Closes: #711025
+ - The data is now included in JSON files.
+ - The XML files are deprecated and should not be used for new
+ projects. However, they are kept in sync with the JSON data
+ for now.
+ - The gettext domains have been renamed to better match the
+ actual ISO number:
+ - ISO 639-2: Renamed from iso_639 to iso_639-2
+ - ISO 639-3: Renamed from iso_639_3 to iso_639-3
+ - ISO 639-5: Renamed from iso_639_5 to iso_639-5
+ - ISO 3166-1: Renamed from iso_3166 to iso_3166-1
+ - ISO 3166-2: Renamed from iso_3166_2 to iso_3166-2
+ All previously used gettext domains are linked to the new
+ domain names, so that this transition should be smooth for
+ programs using those domain names.
+ - A new ISO standard has been included, ISO 3166-3. The gettext
+ domain is called iso_3166-3. Basically, this is a split of the
+ old domain iso_3166 into iso_3166-1 and iso_3166-3, because
+ the old domain iso_3166 contained both standards. However, the
+ standard ISO 3166-3 was more or less inaccessible.
+ - The standard ISO 4217 (currency names) now includes only the
+ currently used currencies. Entries of withdrawn currencies are
+ no longer included.
+ - The standard ISO 639-5 now includes only the language families
+ which are part of the official standard. The previously
+ included languages were not part of the standard and have been
+ removed. This reduced the number of language families from
+ about 1900 to about 110.
