icu: bump to 78.1

2025-11-11T15:33:59Z

Update to 78.1 ICU 78 updates to Unicode 17 (blog), including new characters and scripts, emoji, collation & IDNA changes, and corresponding APIs and implementations. It also updates to CLDR 48 (blog) locale data with new locales, and various additions and corrections.  In C++, there is a new set of APIs for Unicode string (UTF-8/16/32) code point iteration that works seamlessly with modern C++ iterators and ranges. The C++ implementation of MessageFormat 2.0 is at CLDR 47 level and remains in technology preview. ICU 78 and CLDR 48 are major releases, including a new version of Unicode and major locale data improvements. Signed-off-by: Hirokazu MORIKAWA

icu: bump to 77.1

ICU 77 is mostly focused on bug fixes, segmentation conformance, and other refinements. The Java technology preview implementation of the CLDR MessageFormat 2.0 specification has been updated to incorporate the CLDR 46.1 spec plus most but not all of the CLDR 47 changes. The C++ technology preview implementation of MessageFormat 2.0 is not yet quite up to date with CLDR 46.1. Signed-off-by: Hirokazu MORIKAWA

ICU 76 updates to Unicode 16 (blog), including new characters and scripts, emoji, collation & IDNA changes, and corresponding APIs and implementations. It also updates to CLDR 46 (beta blog) locale data with new locales, significant updates to existing locales, and various additions and corrections. For example, the CLDR and Unicode default sort orders are now very nearly the same. ICU 76 and CLDR 46 are major releases, including a new version of Unicode and major locale data improvements.

Unicode® ICU 75 updates to CLDR 45 (beta blog) locale data with new locales and various additions and corrections. C++ code now requires C++17 and is being made more robust. The CLDR MessageFormat 2.0 specification is now in technology preview, together with a corresponding update of the ICU4J (Java) tech preview and a new ICU4C (C++) tech preview.

icu: bump to 74.2

ICU 74.2 maintenance release Release date: 2023-12-13 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) * List of tickets fixed in ICU 74.2 * 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.) Signed-off-by: Hirokazu MORIKAWA

Description: It updates to CLDR 43 locale data with various additions and corrections. ICU 73 improves Japanese and Korean short-text line breaking, reduces C++ memory use in date formatting, and promotes the Java person name formatter from tech preview to draft. ICU 73 and CLDR 43 are minor releases, mostly focused on bug fixes and small enhancements. (The fall CLDR/ICU releases will update to Unicode 15.1 which is planned for September.) ICU 73 updates to the time zone data version 2023c (2023-mar). Note that pre-1970 data for a number of time zones has been removed, as has been the case in the upstream tzdata release since 2021b.
