5 GNU Libidn is a package for internationalized string handling based on
6 stringprep, punycode and IDNA. It is licensed under the LGPL. See
7 ANNOUNCE for an overview, and libidn.{info,ps,pdf} for the manual.
9 Things left to do below. If you like to start working on anything,
10 please let me know so work duplication can be avoided.
12 - Optimize stringprep for speed, the table searching is slow (but
14 - Optimize for size? The stringprep tables can be compressed _alot_
15 (most map entries are simply zeroes).
16 - Port applications to use libidn.
17 - Include more stringprep profiles.
