RHEA-2015:1438 - icu enhancement update

Synopsis

icu enhancement update

Type/Severity

Product Enhancement Advisory

Topic

Updated icu packages that add one enhancement are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The International Components for Unicode (ICU) library provides robust and full-featured Unicode services.

This update adds the following enhancement:

  • Transliteration from Latin to US-ASCII characters is now supported. Prior to this update, icu in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 did not support this mode of the transliterator_transliterate() function. Consequently, it was not possible to perform certain operations. For example, the user could not easily remove non-ASCII characters from PHP code strings. With this update, the user can use transliterator_transliterate() to transliterate Latin characters to US-ASCII characters. (BZ#1200973)

Users of icu are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which add this enhancement.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied.
