  69. 69
  70. 70 - Intl
  71. 71 . The intl extension now requires ICU 4.0+.
  72. 72 . Added intl.use_exceptions INI directive, which controls what happens when
  73. 73 global errors are set together with intl.error_level. (Gustavo)

  75. 75 arguments and mixed numeric/named arguments in ICU 4.8+. (Gustavo)
  76. 76 . MessageFormatter::format() and related functions now don't error out when
  77. 77 an insufficient argument count is provided. Instead, the placeholders will
  78. 78 remain unsubstituted. (Gustavo)
  79. 79 . MessageFormatter::parse() and MessageFormat::format() (and their static
  80. 80 equivalents) don't throw away better than second precision in the arguments.
  81. 81 (Gustavo)
  82. 82 . IntlDateFormatter::__construct and datefmt_create() now accept for the
  83. 83 $timezone argument time zone identifiers, IntlTimeZone objects, DateTimeZone
  84. 84 objects and NULL. (Gustavo)
  85. 85 . IntlDateFormatter::__construct and datefmt_create() no longer accept invalid
  86. 86 timezone identifiers or empty strings. (Gustavo)
  87. 87 . The default time zone used in IntlDateFormatter::__construct and
  88. 88 datefmt_create() (when the corresponding argument is not passed or NULL is
  89. 89 passed) is now the one given by date_default_timezone_get(), not the
  90. 90 default ICU time zone. (Gustavo)
  91. 91 . The time zone passed to the IntlDateFormatter is ignored if it is NULL and
  92. 92 if the calendar passed is an IntlCalendar object -- in this case, the
  93. 93 IntlCalendar's time zone will be used instead. Otherwise, the time zone
  94. 94 specified in the $timezone argument is used instead. This does not affect
  95. 95 old code, as IntlCalendar was introduced in this version. (Gustavo)
  96. 96 . IntlDateFormatter::__construct and datefmt_create() now accept for the
  97. 97 $calendar argument also IntlCalendar objects. (Gustavo)
  98. 98 . IntlDateFormatter::getCalendar() and datefmt_get_calendar() return false
  99. 99 if the IntlDateFormatter was set up with an IntlCalendar instead of the
  100. 100 constants IntlDateFormatter::GREGORIAN/TRADITIONAL. IntlCalendar did not
  101. 101 exist before this version. (Gustavo)
  102. 102 . IntlDateFormatter::setCalendar() and datefmt_set_calendar() now also accept
  103. 103 an IntlCalendar object, in which case its time zone is taken. Passing a
  104. 104 constant is still allowed, and still keeps the time zone. (Gustavo)
  105. 105 . IntlDateFormatter::setTimeZoneID() and datefmt_set_timezone_id() are
  106. 106 deprecated. Use IntlDateFormatter::setTimeZone() or datefmt_set_timezone()
  107. 107 instead. (Gustavo)
  108. 108 . IntlDateFormatter::format() and datefmt_format() now also accept an
  109. 109 IntlCalendar object for formatting. (Gustavo)
  110. 110 . Added the classes: IntlCalendar, IntlGregorianCalendar, IntlTimeZone,
  111. 111 IntlBreakIterator, IntlRuleBasedBreakIterator and

  126. 126 intlcal_is_weekend(), intlcal_set_first_day_of_week(),

  133. 133 intlcal_get_error_message(), intlgregcal_create_instance(),
  134. 134 intlgregcal_set_gregorian_change(), intlgregcal_get_gregorian_change() and
