New on CTAN: datatool-regions
The datatool-regions bundle provides the language-independent region ldf files for the datatool package (v3.0+). The *.ldf files should all be placed on TeX's path. These files don't require any explicit loading. They will automatically be input by datatool-base.sty (or relevant supplementary package) if they are found and required by the tracklang localisation settings. See the datatool v3.0+ manual for further details. The region files deal with defining (if applicable) the currency symbol and switching to the region's currency in the region's hook. Region files may additionally (if not dependent on the language) set the number group and decimal characters (for formatting and parsing), and provide functions for parsing numeric dates and times. **This is being released in advance of the upcoming datatool v3.0 release.** These files will be ignored by existing versions of datatool. Only a limited number of regions are currently included. Additional regions can be added via pull request on GitHub https://github.com/nlct/datatool-regions

Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Manfred Lotz CTAN is run entirely by volunteers and supported by TeX user groups. Please join a user group or donate to one, see https://ctan.org/lugs .
datatool-regions – Region (numeric) support for datatool v3.0+
The datatool-regions bundle provides the language-independent region ldf files for the datatool package (v3.0+). The *.ldf files should all be placed on TeX's path.
These files don't require any explicit loading. They will automatically be input by datatool-base.sty (or relevant supplementary package) if they are found and required by the tracklang localisation settings. See the datatool v3.0+ and tracklang user manuals for further details.
The region files deal with defining the currency symbol, and may additionally (if not dependent on the language) set the number group and decimal characters, and provide functions for parsing numeric dates and times.
If a pre-3.0 version of datatool is installed, these ldf files will be ignored.
