+- Update to version 3.8:
+  + Locale Data: ICU uses and supports data from Common Locale Data
+    Repository (CLDR) 1.5.0.1, which includes many improvements in
+    quality and quantity of data.
+  + Rule Based Time Zone: This set of classes provides the ability
+    to read and write time zone data in RFC2445 VTIMEZONE format.
+    This also provides access Olson timezone transitions.
+  + Timezone Formatting: This has changed to give more human
+    readable results.
+  + Relative Date/Time Formatting: A draft of the relative date/time
+    format class has been added. This functionality can be accessed
+    through the DateFormat::createDateInstance or DateFormat.getInstance
+    factory method. It provides the ability to format localized dates
+    in terms of "yesterday", "today" and "tomorrow", instead of a
+    specific only date or time.
+  + Demonstrations and Tools
+    * ICU Data Library Customizer: This new online tool provides an
+      easier way customize ICU's data.
+    * ICU4J Demonstrations: These will demonstrate some features of
+      ICU4J, like calendars, transliteration, and several other
+      features.
+  + Flexible Date/Time Formatting: A draft of flexible date/time
+    format generator has been added. This allows multiple date and
+    time format patterns to be generated that are valid for specific
+    locales. This funtionality can be accessed through the
+    DateTimePatternGenerator API.
+  + Time Zones: The default time zone is detected more accurately
+    on Unix machines.
+  + Additional Calendars
+    * @calendar=taiwan: This calendar is a variant of the Gregorian
+      calendar used in Taiwan.
+    * @calendar=indian: This is the Indian national calendar.
+    * @calendar=persian: This is the Persian calendar. It is also
+      known as the Jal<61>li Calendar. It is used in several Arabic
+      countries.
+  + UnicodeSet
+    * The Freezable design pattern is now supported, which can
+      improve performance for the contains() and span() methods
+      on frozen UnicodeSet objects.
+    * A span function was added for iterating through strings.
+    * The containsAll(string) and containsNone(string) now support
+      set strings, instead of only codepoints.
+  + Performance
+    * Charset conversion performance has been enhanced. The
+      amount of improvement varies depending on the converter
+      being used and platform being used.
+    * Rule based transliterator construction performance has been
+      improved.
