<h3>New for 59 Milestone 1</h3>
<ul>
<li>Compiler support for C++11 is required for building the ICU libraries.</li>
<li>All source files are UTF-8 encoded. On platforms where the native charset is not UTF-8,
including Windows, check the settings of your editor before working with the source.</li>
<li>The type of UChar is char16_t, on all platforms. This is no longer configurable.
This change may affect Windows code with assumptions that UChar was wchar_t, and thus
type compatible with other Windows code expecting wchar_t strings.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Upcoming changes</h3>
<p>Please note the following changes planned for an upcoming ICU4C release (likely ICU 59):</p>
<ul>
<li>Compiler support for C++11 will be required.</li>
<li>Support for Windows XP will be removed.</li>
</ul>
