Milestones

Current and upcoming milestones (major features only, see the changelog for complete list of features and bug fixes):

1.0.9 - Stable

Note: As 2.0 is under development, no new features are being developed in the 1.0 branch.

• Persian (farsi) locale is now available (thanks to @ashkang)
• Added support for right-to-left languages
• Fix: Browser locale files not generated properly (ported from dev branch)

Goals:
