icu4j 4.01 released

the icu4j project has just released version 4.01. its a regular maintenance release with the following changes (common across all flavors):

• Unicode 5.1
• locale data: Common Locale Data Repository (CLDR) 1.6
• charset converter file size improvement
• date interval formatting (note only gregorian calendar is supported n this release)
• improved plural support

specific icu4j changes include:

• charset
  • ICU2022 converter
  • HZ converter
  • SCSU/BOCU-1 converter
  • charset converter callback
• thai dictionary break iterator (yeah)
• JDK TimeZone support (this is pretty decent as you can now share tz IDs between coldfusion/core java & icu4j)
• locale service provider
• more convenient formatting of year+month, day+month, and other combinations
• simple duration formatting

i guess it's time to update the icu4j CFCs for the new formatting bits. as usual you can download the new version from here. btw you can still get a hold of the icu4j tools here.
