On 2015-10-22 the version v4.7 of Time4J has been finished and released. It requires Java-8. The older version line v3.x will be continued however and is based on Java 6+7. The previous version lines v1.x and v2.x are no longer recommended (due to several backward incompatibilities) and have reached end-of-life. Time4J is organized in modules.

e) **Global versus local**: Time4J rejects the design idea of JSR-310 to separate between "machine time" and "human time". This is considered as artificial. So all four basic types offer both aspects in one. For example a calendar date is simultaneously a human time consisting of several meaningful elements like year, month etc. and also a kind of machine or technical time counter because you can define a single incrementing number represented by julian days. In a similar way a UTC-moment has both a technical counter (the number of SI-seconds since UTC-epoch) AND a human representation visible in its canonical output produced by `toString()`-method (example: 2014-04-21T19:45:30Z). However, Time4J emphasizes the difference between local and global types. Conversion between these types always require a timezone or an offset.

f) **Internationalization**: Time4J defines its own i18n-resources for many languages (56 in version 4.7) in order to defend its i18n-behaviour against poor or insufficient platform resources (which only serve as fallback). Especially localized formatting of durations is not a supported feature on any platform, so Time4J fills an important gap.
