When d3.js is loaded, it now prefers the AMD define function or module.exports
if available; the global `d3` is only set if neither of these are available. A
side benefit of this change is that browserify, bower and component can now load
the D3 library directly rather than needing a custom definition.
You can now prefix the locale’s currency symbol. For example:
d3.format("+$,.2f")(-2.5e5) // -$250,000.00
This implementation is limited in that it does not support currencies where the
symbol should appear after the value (e.g., "250,000.00 €" as in fr_FR). And
d3.format currently only supports a single locale. But it’s a start.
Instead of relying on sed to replace a VERSION token, we generate
src/start.js, which defines the internal `d3` variable with the current
version derived from package.json.
In addition, all file generators (component, locale, start) have been
moved to bin/.
