+Two new date format strings

+Two new :tfilter:`date` formats for use in template filters, template tags
+and :ref:`format-localization`:
+
+- ``e`` -- the name of the timezone of the given datetime object
+- ``o`` -- the ISO 8601 year number

+string. For example a Spanish localization format previously only escaped the
+``d`` format character::
