1; Id: NEWS,v 1.1 2003/06/04 00:25:03 marka Exp 2 3Major changes in idnkit version 1.0: 4 5* Change ACE prefix of Punycode from 'zq--' to 'xn--'. And delete 6 configure's --with-punycode-prefix option. 7 8* Add NAMEPREP version RFC3491. Other versions of NAMEPREP are 9 removed. 10 11* Enable idnconv to handle a input line as long as memory permitted 12 when encoding/decoding. 13 14* unicode-form-c and unicode-form-c/3.2.0 are not supported. 15 16* Unicode 3.0.1 and Unicode 3.1.0 are not supported. 17 18* Delete BIND8, Squid and GNU libiconv patches. 19 20Major changes in idnkit version 1.0-pr2: 21 22* The license of idnkit is changed to a less restrictive one. See 23 LICENSE.txt for the new license. 24 25* The local codeset name used in the test suite, which is hard-coded 26 in the previous version, can be specified by a separate header file. 27 28* IDN encoding and decoding now always check the validity of the 29 result by performing roundtrip conversion check. 30 31Major changes in idnkit version 1.0-pr1: 32 33* Some test cases are added to the testsuite. 34 35* The testsuite can run on OpenBSD. 36 37Major changes in idnkit version 020829: 38 39* Testsuit is added for the library behavior check. 40 Testsuit and testcases are in lib/tests. Read INSTALL (INSTALL.ja) 41 for details. Tests aim at api, checker, converter, delimitermap, 42 mapper, mapselecter, normalizer, res, resconf, and ucs4 at the 43 moment. 44 45* "amcacez" module is renamed to "punycode". 46 47* AMC-ACE-Z and RACE are now treated as extra ACE. 48 49* Add "--with-utf8=NAME" option to configure script. 50 51Major changes in idnkit version 020730: 52 53* Complete bidi check support for NAMEPREP draft -11. 54 55* Type definitions of action flags for conversion APIs are changed 56 from int to idn_action_t. 57 58* Add -nobidicheck option to idnconv command. 59 60Major changes in idnkit version 020711: 61 62* Default delimiters are added according to IDNA-10. 63 64* ``delimiter-map'' entry in config file is removed. 65 66* Add Unicode version 3.2 support. 67 68* Add preliminary support of NAMEPREP draft -11. 69 This version supports NAMEPREP draft -11 without bidirectional label 70 check. 71 72* Supported NAMEPREP versions are changed. 73 idnkit supports NAMEPREP draft version -03, -10, and -11. Others 74 are removed. 75 76* IDN encoding DUDE is removed. 77 78* New action flags are available for conversion APIs. 79 IDN_ENCODE_QUERY, IDN_DECODE_QUERY, IDN_ENCODE_STORED, and 80 IDN_DECODE_STORED are newly created according to IDNA specification. 81 See include/idn/res.h for precise description. 82 83* Action flags IDN_ENCODE_APP, IDN_DECODE_APP and IDN_NAMEPREP change 84 those behavior. 85 See include/idn/res.h for precise description. 86 87* New decode APIs are created. 88 idn_decodename2() and idn_res_decodename2() are defined to add 89 conversion process from "IDN string encoded in local encoding" to 90 UTF-8 before actual decode process of IDN. 91 92* idnconv with -reverse option treats input as IDN string(s) encoded 93 in local encoding specified by -out option. 94 95* idnconv recognizes `-A' option which is synonym for `-noasciicheck'. 96 97* (Windows) idn Wrapper can run on Windows XP. 98 99* BIND-8 patch for BIND-8.3.3 is available and other patches of BIND-8 100 are removed. 101 102Major changes in idnkit version 1.0-rc1: 103 104* NAMEPREP draft -09 is supported. 105 106* idnconv now accepts any encodings specified as argument for `-in' 107 or `-out' option. `-out' accepts non-ACE, and `-in' accepts ACE. 108 109* In configuration file, `encoding-alias-file' entry is not supported 110 any longer. It is simply ignored. 111 112Major changes in idnkit version 1.0-beta2: 113 114* Supported nameprep version is changed. 115 Now idnkit supports nameprep-03, nameprep-06, and nameprep-08. 116 Nameprep-05 and nameprep-07 are not supported any more. 117 118* Compatibility with mDNkit is added. 119 This feature provides applications formerly written using mDNkit 120 library with some source level compatibilities. If you want to use 121 this feature, set `--enable-mdnkit-compat' option at execution time 122 of configure script. 123 124* Now idnkit can set up easily without configuration file. 125 As this feature is added, initialization function and some behavior 126 of top level API are changed. 127 128* BIND-8 patch supports IDN conversion in itself. 129 130* (Windows) idnkit library looks for configuration files with registry 131 information. 132 133* (Windows) idnkit library returns "CP<code page number>" as local 134 encoding name when the environment variable "IDN_LOCAL_CODESET" is 135 not set. 136 137* (Windows) libidnkit/libidnkitlite are now installed as DLL. 138 139* (Windows) idnconv can be executed as a console application. 140 141Major changes in idnkit version 1.0-beta1: 142 143* mDNkit has been renamed idnkit. 144 This means all symbols with "mdn" are renamed with "idn". For 145 example, a function `mdn_encodename()' is now `idn_encodename()', an 146 environment variable "MDN_DISABLE" is "IDN_DISABLE", system 147 configuretion file is "idn.conf", `runmdn' command is `runidn', and 148 so forth. 149 150* Also, library name has been changed to "libidnkit(lite)". 151 152* `mdnsproxy' command has been removed. 153 154* `runidn' (formerly known as `runmdn') command is not installed by 155 default. 156 If you want to install it, set "yes" to `--enable-runidn' option 157 when you run configure script. 158 159* idnkitlite library only instalation is supported. 160 Set "yes" to `--enable-liteonly' option at execution of configure 161 script to use this feature. 162 163* BIND-9.1.3 patch has been removed. 164 165* User configuration file is supported. 166 idnkit now uses ".idnrc" in user's home directory for configuration 167 of whole scheme. If there is no user configuration file, then it 168 tries to load the system configuration file "idn.conf". 169 170* idnkit is now able to run without configuration file. 171 If there are no configuration files (both of user's and system's), 172 it sets normal configurations (the latest nameprep scheme it 173 supports and the IDN encoding "Punycode") automatically at runtime. 174 175* Encoding alias information file is supported. (by generic libidnkit) 176 Its name is "idnalias.conf" by default and it should be located in 177 same directory where the system configuration file is. Example 178 alias information file "idnalias.conf.sample" is installed 179 automatically. 180 181* APIs are renewed. See manpage. 182 183* Now idnkit has full support of IDNA-07. 184 185* Internal representation of domain name is changed to UCS4 in place 186 of UTF-8. 187
