Releases: unicode-org/icu
ICU 74.2
ICU 74.2 updates to CLDR 44.1 locale data. These are maintenance releases for ICU 74 and CLDR 44, with limited sets of bug fixes and no API or structural changes.
- The CLDR bug fix relevant for ICU is for some formatting patterns that erroneously had two adjacent space characters. These are coalesced into one. (CLDR-17233)
- Important: DateFormat.getInstanceForSkeleton() and the DateTimePatternGenerator sometimes used the wrong patterns because they failed to use/inherit certain data (ICU-22575 — CLDR 44 had removed some redundant data that ICU relied on)
For details, please see https://icu.unicode.org/download/74.
ICU 74.1
Unicode® ICU 74 updates to Unicode 15.1, and to CLDR 44 locale data with various additions and corrections.
ICU 74 and CLDR 44 are major releases, including a new version of Unicode and major locale data improvements. They subsume the changes for the ICU 73.2 and CLDR 43.1 maintenance releases.
Unicode 15.1 adds source code security mechanisms, improves line breaking for southeast Asian scripts, and adds important CJK unified ideographs.
CLDR 44 has added or improved data for a number of languages that have been newly added to ICU, and has improved measurement unit handling, conversion, and formatting.
ICU 74 implements these improvements, adds new C APIs for locale handling, adds a plug-in API for word segmentation, and switches the Java build system to Maven.
