<h4><a name="News_Standards" id="News_Standards">Unicode 4.1, CLDR 1.3 Support</a></h4>
<p>ICU has been updated to Unicode 4.1, including new character
properties and values. Collation has been updated to Unicode
Technical Standard #10 (UCA). Locale data has been updated to CLDR
1.3. Additional APIs have been added to access and display more
CLDR data.<br>
</p>
<h4><a name="News_Charset" id="News_Charset">New Charset Detection API</a></h4>
<p>ICU4J provides heuristics for detecting the charset of a byte stream.
Users can create a Java Reader or String from any byte-oriented input stream
when the charset or encoding of the byte data is unknown. The implementation
recognizes most widely used encodings for European and Asian languages.<br>
</p>
<h4><a name="News_DateFormat" id="News_DateFormat"></a>Improved Date Formatting</h4>
<p>Time and Date formatting now supports narrow and standalone day and month names, as well
as generic time zones (e.g. "Pacific Time", "United Kingdom"). Time zone
name data is available for many more timezones and locales.<br>
</p>
<h4><a name="News_Calendars" id="News_Calendars"></a>Additional Calendar Support</h4>
<p>Existing Calendar APIs have been promoted to stable. Coptic and Ethiopic
calendars have been added. Calendar instantiation now recognizes the
<tt>calendar</tt> keyword in <tt>ULocale</tt> identifiers.<br>
</p>
<h4><a name="News_Compat" id="News_Compat">Increased API compatibility with the JDK</a></h4>
<p>Several small differences between ICU4J APIs and the core Java APIs have been
removed. For example, types of some enum constants have been aligned with Java's
(int became byte), UCharacter added methods to match java.lang.Character APIs
(including some deprecated methods, for completeness).<br>
<h4><a name="News_ULocale" id="News_ULocale">APIs promoted to stable</a></h4>
<p>At the request of several users of ICU4J, some draft APIs have been promoted
to stable earlier than usual. This enables use of this API without deprecated warnings.
(The next major release of ICU4J will deal with the issue of draft APIs and
deprecated warnings more completely.)</p>
<ul>
<li><b>jb4831:</b> Many <tt>ULocale</tt> APIs were still @draft, making it impossible
to use these APIs without compiler warnings.</li>
</ul>
<h4><a name="News_Fixes" id="News_Fixes">Patches</a></h4>
<p>This release contains the following bug fixes, which don't involve API changes:<ul>
<li><b>jb4860:</b> Problems when reusing a <tt>CharsetDetector</tt></li>
<li><b>jb4858:</b> <tt>TimeZone.getDisplayName</tt> was not making full use of the timezone name data in ICU</li>
<li><b>jb4857:</b> zh_TW, zh_CH time zone names resolved incorrectly</li>
<li><b>jb4423:</b> <tt>StringTokenizer.countTokens</tt> caused <tt>hasMoreTokens</tt> to malfunction</li>
</ul>
