IcuCollation is the name of the mediawiki class. The actual underlying code is from a software project called Icu (or more specificly icu4c). Which version used depends on which version mediawiki is compiled against. Version 1.8 is really really old (which makes me think you got the wrong software

Hoi, With the software now packaged with functionality for language support, it is well worth it to always mention how MediaWiki does REALLY support languages. It is a really strong argument for MediaWiki and, it is a best practice we can be proud of. Thanks, GerardM On 2 March 2013

I don't like the idea of a bot doing this. Nor do I think writing release notes at commit time works well either (too many stupid conflicts). What's the issue with a bot appending a few lines to a release-notes section if it sees it the commit message? But yes, release-notes conflicts are a

You would at least need some release-notes marker added by the commiter so that you can skip non-RL-worthy ones. That marker is exactly what I am proposing - if we formalizehttp://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/RELEASE-NOTES_botthe commit messages, the release notes write
