Log Message:
Update to 0.92:

0.92     2015-09-27

- I accidentally released 0.90 as a non-trial release. This release is the
  same as 0.46, so that the newest non-trial release does not break the
  DateTime.pm tests.

0.91     2015-09-27

- Released the changes in 0.90 as a trial release.

0.90     2015-09-27

[ENHANCEMENTS]

- Updated based on version 28 of the CLDR data. The last update was based on
  the CLDR 1.7.1 release from 2009, so this is a big change. Many things have
  changed in terms of locale data.

- Some locales are no longer available because they are not in the CLDR data.

- The CLDR data no longer includes default date and time format lengths. This
  is now "medium" for every locale, simply to provide some level of backwards
  compatibility.

- The old API deprecated since 0.40 has been removed (almost) entirely.

- Loading DateTime::Locale itself is now quite a bit faster. The whole locale
  registration system has been removed entirely, except for custom
  locales. This fixes RT #78794. Requested by Michael Conrad.

- A long-standing issue with the Austrian locale not using the Austrian name
  for January has been fixed. RT #52337. Reported by Thomas Klausner.

[BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBILITIES]

* This is a big new release, and includes a number of backwards-incompatible
  changes. However, most users should be unaffected by this change. If you
  only use this module via DateTime.pm, you are unlikely to notice any changes
  other than changes to the locale data.

* We now refer to things as "code" in the docs and method names where we used
  to call them ids. This includes locale, language, script, territory, and
  variant codes. This is more in line with the various ISO standards and the
  CLDR packages.

* All the $locale->*_id methods (including $locale->id) are deprecated. Use
  the relevant $locale->*_code method instead.

* The canonical form of the locale codes now uses dashes (-) instead of
  underscores (_). Loading a locale with an underscore in the name
  (e.g. en_US) still works.

* The way that locale data is packaged has changed quite a bit. We no longer
  package each locale in its own class. Instead, all locale data is in a
  single module (mostly in a __DATA__ section) and loaded into memory as
  needed. If you have any code that checks $locale->isa, that code may
  break.

* Locales are no longer subclasses of DateTime::Locale::Base. However, this
  module is still included in the distribution in case someone has a custom
  locale that inherits from this module. However, this module will go away in
  a future release.

* The "ii-*" aliases for the "he-*" locales have been removed.

* The "no-*" aliases for the "nn-*" locales have been removed.

* The value of $locale->code no longer reflects the value passed to
  DateTime::Locale->load. This only affects aliases and non-canonical forms of
  the code. For example, if you load "en_US" then $locale->code returns
  "en-US". If you load "C" or "POSIX" the code is "en-US-POSIX".

* All of the documentation related to creating aliases and registering custom
  locales has been removed. All of these methods still work, but I don't think
  this system got much use, so I don't want to emphasize it in the docs (but
  let me know if you are using this and want to see these docs restored).
