## Breaking Changes
Minor as many of you don't even use them but, indeed, they need to be covered here.
- Old i18n middleware(iris/middleware/i18n) was replaced by the [i18n](i18n) sub-package which lives as field at your application: `app.I18n.Load(globPathPattern string, languages ...string)` (see below)
- Community-driven i18n middleware(iris-contrib/middleware/go-i18n) has a `NewLoader` function which returns a loader which can be passed at `app.I18n.Reset(loader i18n.Loader, languages ...string)` to change the locales parser
- The Configuration's `TranslateFunctionContextKey` was replaced by `LocaleContextKey` which Context store's value (if i18n is used) returns the current Locale which contains the translate function, the language code, the language tag and the index position of it
- The `context.Translate` method was replaced by `context.Tr` as a shortcut for the new `context.GetLocale().GetMessage(format, args...)` method and it matches the view's function `{{tr format args}}` too
- If you used [Iris Django](https://github.com/kataras/iris/tree/master/_examples/view/template_django_0) view engine with `import _ github.com/flosch/pongo2-addons` you **must change** the import path to `_ github.com/iris-contrib/pongo2-addons` or add a [go mod replace](https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Modules#when-should-i-use-the-replace-directive) to your `go.mod` file, e.g. `replace github.com/flosch/pongo2-addons => github.com/iris-contrib/pongo2-addons v0.0.1`.

## New Features
### Internationalization and localization
Support for i18n is now a **builtin feature** and is being respected across your entire application, per say [sitemap](https://github.com/kataras/iris/wiki/Sitemap) and [views](https://github.com/kataras/iris/blob/master/_examples/i18n/main.go#L50).
Refer to the wiki section: https://github.com/kataras/iris/wiki/Sitemap for details.
### Sitemaps
Iris generates and serves one or more [sitemap.xml](https://www.sitemaps.org/protocol.html) for your static routes.
Navigate through: https://github.com/kataras/iris/wiki/Sitemap for more.
