ICU has major releases once or twice a year, and minor releases as needed. Releases are announced on the [https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/icu-announce icu-announce mailing list]. Each release includes the latest versions of the CLDR locale data, the IANA time zone database, and the ISO 4217 currency data, so it's generally worth it for Mozilla to update its copy each time. As of April 2013, upgrades are unfortunately blocked by [http://bugs.icu-project.org/trac/ticket/10043 ICU bug 10043]. To import the latest version, use the {{source|intl/update-icu.sh}} script.

To import the latest version, use the {{source|intl/update-icu.sh}} script.  Doing so will likely require updating Mozilla's set of local ICU patches -- a tedious process the burden of which we attempt to minimize by upstreaming patches whenever possible (and only patching locally with good reason).
