. MessageFormatter::format() and related functions now accepted named

arguments and mixed numeric/named arguments in ICU 4.8+. (Gustavo)

. MessageFormatter::format() and related functions now don't error out when

an insufficient argument count is provided. Instead, the placeholders will

remain unsubstituted. (Gustavo)

. MessageFormatter::parse() and MessageFormat::format() (and their static

equivalents) don't throw away better than second precision in the arguments.

(Gustavo)

. IntlDateFormatter::__construct and datefmt_create() now accept for the

$timezone argument time zone identifiers, IntlTimeZone objects, DateTimeZone

objects and NULL. (Gustavo)

. IntlDateFormatter::__construct and datefmt_create() no longer accept invalid

timezone identifiers or empty strings. (Gustavo)

. The default time zone used in IntlDateFormatter::__construct and

datefmt_create() (when the corresponding argument is not passed or NULL is

passed) is now the one given by date_default_timezone_get(), not the

default ICU time zone. (Gustavo)

. The time zone passed to the IntlDateFormatter is ignored if it is NULL and

if the calendar passed is an IntlCalendar object -- in this case, the

IntlCalendar's time zone will be used instead. Otherwise, the time zone

specified in the $timezone argument is used instead. This does not affect

old code, as IntlCalendar was introduced in this version. (Gustavo)

$calendar argument also IntlCalendar objects. (Gustavo)

if the IntlDateFormatter was set up with an IntlCalendar instead of the

constants IntlDateFormatter::GREGORIAN/TRADITIONAL. IntlCalendar did not

exist before this version. (Gustavo)

. IntlDateFormatter::setCalendar() and datefmt_set_calendar() now also accept

an IntlCalendar object, in which case its time zone is taken. Passing a

constant is still allowed, and still keeps the time zone. (Gustavo)

. IntlDateFormatter::setTimeZoneID() and datefmt_set_timezone_id() are

deprecated. Use IntlDateFormatter::setTimeZone() or datefmt_set_timezone()

instead. (Gustavo)

. IntlDateFormatter::format() and datefmt_format() now also accept an

IntlCalendar object for formatting. (Gustavo)

IntlBreakIterator, IntlRuleBasedBreakIterator and

IntlCodePointBreakIterator. (Gustavo)

intltz_create_time_zone_id_enumeration(), intltz_get_canonical_id(),

intltz_get_region(), intltz_get_tz_data_version(),

intltz_get_equivalent_id(), intltz_use_daylight_time(), intltz_get_offset(),

intltz_get_raw_offset(), intltz_has_same_rules(), intltz_get_display_name(),

intltz_get_dst_savings(), intltz_from_date_time_zone(),

intltz_to_date_time_zone(), intltz_get_error_code(),

intltz_get_error_message(). (Gustavo)
