One major feature that is missing in Versions below 49 is the `#` placeholder in plural rules.
See <http://site.icu-project.org/download> for a list of available ICU versions. Note that the version numbering has changed after the
4.8 release so that the first digits are now merged: the sequence is ICU 4.8, ICU 49, ICU 50.
Additionally the information in the time zone database shipped with the ICU library may be outdated. Please refer
to the [ICU manual](http://userguide.icu-project.org/datetime/timezone#TOC-Updating-the-Time-Zone-Data) for details
on updating the time zone database. While for output formatting the ICU timezone database is used, the time zone database
used by PHP may be relevant too. You can update it by installing the latest version of the [pecl package `timezonedb`](http://pecl.php.net/package/timezonedb).
