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)
- 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)
