+Version 0.9
+http://svn.edgewall.org/repos/babel/tags/0.9.0/
+(?, from branches/stable/0.9.x)
+
+ * The `new_catalog` distutils command has been renamed to `init_catalog` for
+   consistency with the command-line frontend.
+ * Added compilation of message catalogs to MO files (ticket #21).
+ * Added updating of message catalogs from POT files (ticket #22).
+ * Support for significant digits in number formatting.
+ * Apply proper "banker's rounding" in number formatting in a cross-platform
+   manner.
+ * The number formatting functions now also work with numbers represented by
+   Python `Decimal` objects (ticket #53).
+ * Added extensible infrastructure for validating translation catalogs.
+ * Fixed the extractor not filtering out messages that didn't validate against
+   the keyword's specification (ticket #39).
+ * Fixed the extractor raising an exception when encountering an empty string
+   msgid. It now emits a warning to stderr.
+ * Numerous Python message extractor fixes: it now handles nested function
+   calls within a gettext function call correctly, uses the correct line number
+   for multi-line function calls, and other small fixes (tickets #38 and #39).
+ * Improved support for detecting Python string formatting fields in message
+   strings (ticket #57).
+ * CLDR upgraded to the 1.5 release.
+ * Improved timezone formatting.

+
+Version 0.8.1
+http://svn.edgewall.org/repos/babel/tags/0.8.1/
+(Jul 2 2007, from branches/stable/0.8.x)
+
+ * `default_locale()` would fail when the value of the `LANGUAGE` environment
+   variable contained multiple language codes separated by colon, as is
+   explicitly allowed by the GNU gettext tools. As the `default_locale()`
+   function is called at the module level in some modules, this bug would
+   completely break importing these modules on systems where `LANGUAGE` is set
+   that way.
+ * The character set specified in PO template files is now respected when
+   creating new catalog files based on that template. This allows the use of
+   characters outside the ASCII range in POT files (ticket #17).
+ * The default ordering of messages in generated POT files, which is based on
+   the order those messages are found when walking the source tree, is no
+   longer subject to differences between platforms; directory and file names
+   are now always sorted alphabetically.
+ * The Python message extractor now respects the special encoding comment to be
+   able to handle files containing non-ASCII characters (ticket #23).
+ * Added 'N_' (gettext noop) to the extractor's default keywords.
+ * Made locale string parsing more robust, and also take the script part into
+   account (ticket #27).
+ * Added a function to list all locales for which locale data is available.
+ * Added a command-line option to the `pybabel` command which prints out all
+   available locales (ticket #24).
+ * The name of the command-line script has been changed from just `babel` to
+   `pybabel` to avoid a conflict with the OpenBabel project (ticket #34).
