Features

--------

- A locale negotiator no longer needs to be registered explicitly. The
  default locale negotiator at
  ``repoze.bfg.i18n.default_locale_negotiator`` is now used
  unconditionally as... um, the default locale negotiator.

- The default locale negotiator has become more complex.

  * First, the negotiator looks for the ``_LOCALE_`` attribute of
    the request object (possibly set by an :term:`event listener`).
  
  * Then it looks for the ``request.params['_LOCALE_']`` value.

  * Then it looks for the ``request.cookies['_LOCALE_']`` value.

Backwards Incompatibilities
---------------------------

- The default locale negotiator now looks for the parameter named
  ``_LOCALE_`` rather than a parameter named ``locale`` in
  ``request.params``.

Behavior Changes
----------------

- A locale negotiator may now return ``None``, signifying that the
  default locale should be used.

Documentation
-------------

- Documentation concerning locale negotiation in the
  Internationalizationa and Localization chapter was updated.
