update to icu-3.0 major changes: ICU 3.0 includes the latest bug fixes, locale/charset updates, and performance/build/porting enhancements. - Collation Collation data is in a separate data tree, allowing for easier modularization and maintenance. getFunctionalEquivalent API allows for better caching and UI support. - Unicode 4.0.1 ICU is updated to the latest version of Unicode standard, which had significant property changes. - CLDR 1.1 Updates to CLDR 1.1, with many updates to locale data, and special emphasis on collation data. - Formatting As an aid to migration of traditional C (stdio) and C++ (iostream) formatting, the POSIX-like input/output library, icuio, is officially supported. Significant digits now supported in DecimalFormat, for general use and %g support. - RFC822 time zone format support in DateFormat for compatibility. - Currency formatting/parsing improvements Allows parsing multiple currencies with one formatter, without knowing the currency in advance. Much cleaner design allowing extensibility to other measurement units in the future. - Regular expressions (C) The regular expressions framework now features a C API, instead of just C++. - Locales Locale canonicalization spec defined and implemented. Provides interoperability with POSIX and .NET locale IDs, more RFC 3066 support. - Layout engine Layout engine now supports using different canonically-equivalent Unicode forms of the same text: e.g. a + ´ or á. This is especially important for non-Latin scripts. - Build Environment ICU can now build its data library much faster on most platforms.
