<p>In ICU 3.8, the behavior of date formatting and parsing has changed
significantly, perhaps requiring recoding on your part depending on your
usage. The goal of making the change was to return more understandable
results from formatting timezones, but a byproduct is that the result from
formatting with strings z, zzzz, v or vvvv are no longer unique, and thus no
longer roundtrips. That is, if you use a date format with one of these
strings, producing a certain output, you can no longer parse that output
and expect to recover the original timezone.</p>
<p>What you will be able to get is a related, "best fit" mapping for the
name, based on the region associated with the current locale and the
mappings found in CLDR's supplemental data. For example, for example, if
you format the time zone "America/Denver", getting "Heure des Rocheuses"
in French, and then parse, the resulting time zone would be "America/Denver"
unless the locale in use has the region "CA" (such as en-CA or fr-CA), in
which case "America/Edmonton" would be retrieved.</p>
