Unknown system time zone - Etc/Unknown
+The behavior of the time zone factory method TimeZone.getTimeZone(String) 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.
