Dear friends and users of ICU,
We are pleased to announce the release candidate for ICU 68. It updates to CLDR 38 locale data with many additions and corrections. ICU 68 brings support for locale-dependent smart unit preferences (road distance, temperature, etc.), implements locale ID canonicalization conformant with CLDR, and includes many other bug fixes and enhancements.
For details, please see http://site.icu-project.org/download/68.
Please test this release candidate on your platforms and report bugs and regressions by Tuesday, 2020-oct-27.
Please do not use this release candidate in production.
The preliminary API reference documents are published on unicode-org.github.io/icu-docs/ – follow the “Dev” links there.
Best regards,
Markus Scherer for the ICU Project
