I am not sure whether we should modify the current methods to support this locale, or have separate methods. But the code looks really good 👍 Maybe someone else can chime in and share their thoughts on supporting both here. Thanks for the PR @c-w !

@kinow Given that the change is backwards compatible I'd say introducing a new method would be more confusing as the developer would have to know/remember to pick the correct function. @garydgregory Any thoughts or other comments on the PR? |

Does it matter that dash is tested before underscore?

It's been a while since I wrote this code, but I don't think so. Should be possible to switch them around without issues.

All the unit tests still pass with the comparison swapped. I made the change in 0319d84. It's probably the right thing to optimize for the previous delimiter as that'll be the vast majority of use-cases.

Another friendly ping @garydgregory @kinow @sgoeschl. Could you take another look and let me know if you have any concerns about this change? Thanks in advance! |
|
Thanks for the merge! 🎉 |

You should build git master locally to make sure you can use the jar in your app. |

This change has resulted in some broken expectations in the differences between locale and language tags. While there is probably value in having a method that is open to taking either in order to produce a Locale object, it is not clear that should be this method. In fact, the original and current comments for the method say "This method takes the string format of a locale and creates the locale object from it". In addition, the rationale for why this specific change was made appears to based on some inaccurate understanding - BCP 47 is the spec for language tags, not locales and BCP47 does not support 'underscore', which was this method only supported before this change. |

Any update? |

Hi @seadbrane |
|
The PR is to revert this commit unless the intention has changed since the method was created.

This pull request is a partial fix for LANG-1172 adding support for dashes as delimiters for locales as per BCP47 thus enabling parsing of locales such as
en-GBin addition to the previously supported (but not to spec)en_GB.
