<h3>The default compilers have changed</h3>
<p>ICU has changed the compilers chosen by default. If the clang and clang++ compilers
are available, those will be used instead of gcc and g++. If the clang compilers
are not available, then gcc and g++ will be used just as before. The clang++ compiler
provides C++11 support and some optimizations that are helpful to ICU. The API
remains the same between these two sets of compilers, but ICU can internally leverage
language features and optimizations that are available in clang++.</p>
<p>If you need to force ICU to compile with gcc and g++, then you can use the following
from the command line in the source directory:</p>
<pre>
<samp>./configure CC=gcc CXX=g++ CFLAGS=-O3 CXXFLAGS=-O3</samp>
</pre>
<h3>C++ Collator subclassing-API breaking changes</h3>
<p>We have made some changes to the C++ Collator API for ICU 50
that will make it easier to use and implement the Collator but
