7.79. icu

Updated icu packages that add one enhancement are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

The International Components for Unicode (ICU) library provides robust and full-featured Unicode services.

Enhancement

BZ#1200973: Transliteration from Latin to US-ASCII characters is now supported. Prior to this update, icu in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 did not support this mode of the transliterator_transliterate() function. Consequently, it was not possible to perform certain operations. For example, the user could not easily remove non-ASCII characters from PHP code strings. With this update, the user can use transliterator_transliterate() to transliterate Latin characters to US-ASCII characters.

Users of icu are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which add this enhancement.

Bug Fix

BZ#1176177: Previously, during the rebuild process of the icu source package, two-digit format was used for calendar year in the test case and was not interpreted correctly. As a consequence, the year 2034 was displayed instead of year 1934 causing the check of the test case to fail. A patch has been applied to fix this bug and the check no longer fails.

Users of icu are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.
