Hi Roberto, The latest release (v0.3.13) is primarily just a tzdata update. Unfortunately, I've not had as much time as I would have liked to work on splitting the data and core API. I've drawn up a plan, but not had a chance to get too far into the implementation. I should be able to get the time to make the changes soon (certainly within the timeframe for Debian Squeeze).

I was wondering if your plan to split the data and the core API is coming soon, or if you are planning it for further down the road. I ask because I'd really like to see this make it into Debian Squeeze. Regards, -Roberto -- Roberto C.
