<p><b>Changes to J2SE version requirement for building ICU4J</b>
<p>Previous version of ICU4J was successfully built with J2SE SDK 1.4 or later
versions. In this release, there is a new feature which uses a new type introduced
in J2SE 5.0. Although the new feature does not need the type available at run time,
it requires J2SE 5.0 or newer version of Java class library at the build time to enable
the feature. The binary distribution version of ICU4J available at the ICU download
page was built with J2SE SDK 5.0 and this version should work well on JRE 1.4 or later
versions. If you want to build your own copy of ICU4J binaries with J2SE SDK 1.4,
you can still run all of the Ant standard build targets in build.xml and make ICU4J
binaries. The build script detects the current Java version and comments out code
blocks including references to J2SE 5.0 only types.</p>
<p><b>Changes to timezone formatting and parsing</b>
<p>In ICU 3.8, the behavior of date formatting and parsing has changed
significantly, perhaps requiring recoding on your part depending on your
usage. For more information, see <a href="http://icu-project.org/userguide/formatDateTime.html">
Formatting Dates and Times</a> in the User Guide.
</p>
<p><b>Status of ICU4J charset converter</b>
<p>The ICU4J implementation of java.nio.charset.Charset is included as a Technology
Preview. Not all functionality from the java.nio.Charset interfaces is operational,
and some converters are known to mis-handle Unicode supplementary characters. Use with caution.
<p>The ICU4J implementation of java.nio.charset.Charset was included in ICU4J 3.8 as
a Technology Preview. In this release, all functionality from the java.nio.Charset
interfaces is operational and promoted to the draft status.
