We are pleased to announce the release candidate for Unicode® ICU 71.
ICU 71 updates to CLDR 41 locale data with various additions and corrections, and adds phrase-based line breaking for Japanese. ICU 71 also includes a number of other bug fixes and enhancements, and we are working to re-establish continuous performance testing.
ICU 71 updates to the time zone data version 2022a. 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.
