- <h3>MessageFormat Changes</h3>
- <p>MessageFormat and related classes (choice/plural/select) have been reimplemented,
- with several improvements and some incompatible changes.
- See the <a href="http://site.icu-project.org/download/48">ICU 4.8 download</a> page for details.</p>

- <h3>Unknown system time zone - Etc/Unknown</h3>
- <p>The behavior of the time zone factory method TimeZone::createTimeZone(const UnicodeString&) has changed in this release.
- When an unknown time zone ID is specified in the method, previous versions return a TimeZone instance
- with ID "GMT" (offset 0 and no daylight saving time). In ICU 4.8, the method uses "Etc/Unknown" as the
- time zone ID (but still offset 0 and no daylight saving time) for the case. Existing software checking
- the returned time zone ID to validate the input ID may need to be updated to support the new behavior.</p>

<h3>C++ namespace support required</h3>
<p>ICU4C 49 requires C++ namespace support.
As a result, for example, rather than <code>U_NAMESPACE_QUALIFIER UnicodeString</code>
