* extracted new class BFormattingConventions from BCountry, which
manages the formatting conventions from a given locale and
allows to get/set the four different date/time formats supported
by ICU-locales as well as number and monetary formats
* overhauled the Locale preflet:
+ drop editing features for all formats, since I don't think
they do not make much sense to have in a prefs GUI - being
able to select from the existing locales should be good
enough. Please note that you can still change the formats
programmatically in an application.
+ renamed the 'Countries' tab to 'Formatting'
+ the locale formatting conventions list in the 'Formatting'
tab is now hierarchical for easier access (less scrolling)
+ fixed functionality of 'Revert' and 'Defaults' buttons
+ added support for using the month/day-names of your preferred
language during date formatting
* adjusted BLocale to ask BFormattingConventions for the current
formats when formatting dates and times and to offer 4
different format styles (full, long, medium and short).
* adjust all classes formatting dates/times to pick the
appropriate format style
* BLocaleRoster no longer directly archives/unarchives the
individual formatting conventions but delegates that to
BFormattingConventions

* BLocale now keeps language and country completely separate and
mixes the formatting conventions into the current language's locale
when formatting dates and times (needs to be done for number- and
currency-formatting, too, since the digits may not be in the
preferred language)
* optimized fetching of the flag icons such that they are all loaded
in one go (by the locale roster) - this alone speeds up the Locale
preflet considerably
* worked on fixing the language confusion in the Locale preflet
* fixed a couple of bugs in the Locale preflet that would lead to
illegal characters being displayed in the date-subpart menus
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@39013 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
in BLocale (which is accessible via be_locale)
* adjusted all users accordingly
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@38459 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
private accessor classes
* adjust style in BTimeZone::Private implementation to match other classes
of this kind
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@38449 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
values
* added locking to BLocale (needed since the data of the global object may
change any time)
* BLocale no longer passes out pointers to internal objects, it fill objects
passed in by the client instead (just like be_locale_roster does)
* dropped default language as member from RosterData, it is no part of the
default locale
* fleshed out implementation of TimeUnitFormat and DurationFormat, both
of which can now be given a BLocale in order to set the strings being used
during formatting
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@38428 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
around BLocaleRoster::GetAvailableTimeZonesForCountry()
* minor cleanup
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@38412 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
since we'd like to be able to get the timezones of the global (i.e. empty)
country, too.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@38380 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
(not currently used anywhere, but should be part of the BTimeZone interface)
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@38333 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* use upon-demand initialization in BTimeZone to avoid unnecessary work
* renamed BTimeZone::Code() to BTimeZone::ID() and adjusted all callers
* avoid using BCountry in the Time preflet for the time being, this means
the icon-flags are gone for now (but they could be re-added if the demand
is pressing ;-)
* group the timezones by regions and then by country instead
The performance improvement is considerable and I personally think the new grouping is an improvement, too. Please share your thoughts!
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@38322 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* added TODOs about the need to get rid of some of the date/time-formatting
shortcut methods
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@38146 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* Use the function to localize the date/time in tracker.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@37949 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* Remove the be_locale global object and go through the be_locale_roster instead
* Rework the storage of data for the be_locale_roster, since BLocale already holds a BCountry and a BLanguage.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@37907 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* refactored private/mutable stuff out of LocaleRoster into MutableLocaleRoster
* moved management of Locale/Time settings file and broadcasting of any changes
out of preflets and into MutableLocaleRoster
* added proper sorting to the listviews of the Locale preflet
* the Time preflet no longer overlaps long timezone names into the actual time
* several fixes with respect to leaking ICU objects, esp. in BCountry
* the locale roster no longer passes out references to its own BCountry object,
but uses copies, instead - this makes locking superfluous, as the clients'
BCountry objects can no longer be changed by the setting a new default
country in the locale roster
* removed pretty useless POSIX-style symbol fetching from BCountry - if we
need that at all, it should live in the dedicated formatter classes
* adjusted readonlybootprompt, dstcheck and Deskbar to the changed Locale API
* refactored existing Time-formatter into TimeUnitFormat and DurationFormat
(the latter of which is now used by AboutSystem)
* added stubs for Date, DateTime and Time formatters
* lots of coding style fixes throughout the Locale Kit and the Locale and Time
preflets
This will probably break most external apps making use of the Locale Kit - it
does break WebPositive.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@37831 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* basically rewrote TimeZone to sport a nicer to use interface
* adjusted all users of TimeZone accordingly
* changed TZDisplay to show the Date next to the label, in
order to avoid that long timezone names draw all over it
* the timezone listview is now properly sorted according
to the current language (using BCollator)
* fixed a couple of bugs (overflows, etc.) that caused
incorrect GMT offsets to be used during computations
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@37813 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* Fix archiving/unarchiving to provide at least a valid object. However, ICU archiving system doesn't look like it's working well.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@37784 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
warnings and incorporate some of the ICU-patches we had in our repo before
we upgraded to 4.4.1
* fixed remaining warnings when building locale kit
* activated EnableWerror for locale kit
* added 'Unicode' license, which is the second license in use by ICU
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@37763 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* Not completely working yet, hte POSIX API isn't very happy about ICU timezone names.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@37758 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
B_TRANSLATE-macros when running collectcatkeys, simplifying the regex a lot
* added B_TRANSLATE_NOCOLLECT...-macros for the case where a non-literal
string shall be translated, but not picked up by collectcatkeys
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@37746 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* made locale build tools shut up about anything except warnings or errors
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@37723 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
remove duplicatesfromthe list generated by ICU.
* BTimeZone : remove Code, rename Name to GetName. The class is likely to change again for further optimization.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@37719 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
so, loading the locale preflet is also faster and use less memory.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@37696 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* BCountry can list the timezones applicable for the country
* BCountry can give its name (for example France), or LocaleName (french (France)). The second one will later be moved to BLocale class along with
most of the locale settings ; but this needs a bit of refactoring.
* The Locale preflet now uses LocaleName instead of Name, since it deals with locales. The time preflet will want only country names, without te
language information, for example.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@37690 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* The locale roster uses them instead of messing with pointers, to avoid ownership problems
* The Locale preflet works on a copy of the default country instead of altering it directly
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@37649 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* Adjust the B_TRANSLATE macros to take this into account
* Adjust collectkatkeys to take it into account too
Thanks to Ingo for explaining me all the technical details about hiding things in shared objects.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@37616 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* Hide the CatalogStub::GetCatalog method so that if liblocalestub.a is missing from a localized image, it will not try to steal the catalog of another one.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@37602 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* Use them in the time preflet to display and edit the date in a local-aware way
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@37551 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* Some support for languages having an order different than H:M:S:AM (like chinese). Does not seem to work too well, but I can't spot what I missed
* API to get the infos about the type of each field in a time format
