 ## Fixes and Improvements
 
+- Support of embedded [locale files](https://github.com/kataras/iris/blob/master/_examples/i18n/template-embedded/main.go) using standard `embed.FS` with the new `LoadFS` function.
 - Support of direct embedded view templates with `embed.FS` or `fs.FS` (in addition to `string` and `http.FileSystem` types).
 
 - Add `iris.Patches()` package-level function to customize Iris Request Context REST (and more to come) behavior.
