2 See the end for copying conditions.
6 ** Official GNU project.
8 ** Renamed from libstringprep to libidn.
10 ** Supports punycode and IDNA. Caveat emptor: I don't use it myself.
12 ** Uses "unsigned long" for Unicode code points instead of "long".
13 Long is guaranteed to be at least 32 bits by C standards so it is
14 always sufficiently large, no need to use uint32_t and the like.
16 ** The obsolete stringprep_utf8_to_ucs4_fast API entry point was removed.
20 ** Portability fixes (now works under Cygwin on Windows 2000).
26 ** Apply all tables to entire strings, not just first hit.
32 ** Fix prohibited characters handling.
36 ** Renamed type (struct) stringprep_table_element to Stringprep_table_element.
38 ** Renamed type stringprep_profile to Stringprep_profile.
40 ** Renamed type (struct) stringprep_table to Stringprep_table.
42 ** Added more self-tests.
46 ** Add unassigned code point handling, including self test cases.
52 ** Exported utility function `stringprep_utf8_to_unichar', complementary
53 to existing `stringprep_unichar_to_utf8'.
55 ** Renamed `stringprep_utf8_to_ucs4_fast' to `stringprep_utf8_to_ucs4' to
56 clean up API. The old entry point is maintained for binary backwards
59 ** The distribution is from now on signed using GnuPG.
71 ** Add utility functions stringprep_locale_charset(), stringprep_convert()
72 and stringprep_locale_to_utf8 () that can be used to convert text from
73 system's locale into UTF-8, which should be done before invoking
74 stringprep(). The functions requires iconv() in the operating system.
76 ** An example program (example.c) that illustrates how libstringprep can be
79 ** The pkg-config --libs output should now include necessary -R options.
