1Major changes in idnkit version 2.3: 2 3* Support Unicode 6.3. 4 5* Fix some minor bugs. 6 7Major changes in idnkit version 2.2: 8 9* Support RFC6452, "The Unicode Code Points and Internationalized Domain 10 Names for Applications (IDNA) - Unicode 6.0". 11* Modify the license. See 'LICENSE.txt'. 12 13* Fix some minor bugs. 14 15Major changes in idnkit version 2.1: 16 17* Release Java, Python and Perl APIs for idnkit. 18 Note that the idnkit source distribution itself doesn't contain those 19 APIs. They are distributed individually. 20 21* Release Windows installer of libidnkitlite. 22 Also the installer is distributed separately from the idnkit source 23 distribution. 24 25* Fix some minor bugs. 26 27Major changes in idnkit version 2.0.1: 28 29* Add mapping procedure 'rfc5895'. 30 In a 'map' entry of the configuration file, idnkit recognizes new map 31 procedure named 'rfc5895', which is formerly known as 'resman-idna2008- 32 mappings-01'. idnkit still accepts 'resman-idna2008-mappings-01'. 33 34Major changes in idnkit version 2.0: 35 36* Support IDNA2008. 37 Since IDNA2008 has a lot of changes from IDNA2003, also idnkit has 38 various changes. Option names of idnconv command, configuration file 39 syntax and action macros for idn_encodename() and idn_decodename() 40 functions are revised. 41 42* No longer support IDNA2003. 43 For IDNA2003, use idnkit version 1.0 instead. 44 45* Support Unicode Technical Standard #46 (UTS #46). 46 Support for UTS #46 "Unicode IDNA Compatibility Processing" is added, 47 but it is experimental and partial. 48 49* Rename the default configuration files. 50 The system default configuration file is renamed from 'idn.conf' to 51 'idn2.conf', and the user default configuration file is renamed from 52 '.idnrc' to '.idn2rc' respectively. 53 54* Add idn_comparenames() and idn_comparenames2() functions. 55 Those functions compare two domain names. They check whether the domain 56 names given as arguments are equivalent or not. 57 58* Add idn_checkname() function. 59 The function validates an internationalized domain name, and reports 60 the result. 61 62* Add idncmp and idncheck commands. 63 idncmp and idncheck are command editions of idn_comparenames() and 64 idn_checkname(). You can call those functions from a command line 65 easily. 66 67* Rename idnconv command to 'idnconv2'. 68 For uses who want install idnkit version 1.0 and 2.0 on the same system, 69 the command in idnkit version 2.0 has been renamed from 'idnconv' to 70 'idnconv2'. 71 72* Add language specific local map. 73 In addition with TLD specific local map, language specific local map 74 is available. idnkit performs a preprocessing conversion according 75 with the "current language" setting. 76 77* Add "local check". 78 IDN registries define their own code point tables allowed for domain 79 name registration. Using the local check feature, you can check whether 80 a domain name consists of code points allowed by a particular registry. 81 idnconv2, idncmp and idncheck command have '-localcheck' options and '-e' 82 for short. For library APIs, idn_setlocalcheckfile() function and 83 IDN_LOCALCHECK action are added. 84 85* Fix a bug in normalization. 86 A historical bug in idnkit version 1.0 is fixed. Suppose that a label 87 consists of three code points A, B and C in that order, and ccc(A) = 0, 88 ccc(B) = 220, ccc(C) = 0. If the composition rule A + C -> D exists, 89 idnkit version 1.0 does the composition in spite of B in the middle. 90 A patch to idnkit 1.0 (see below) also fixes the bug. 91 92* Delete BIND patches. 93 94* Add a patch to idnkit version 1.0. 95 96* Delete runidn command. 97 98Major changes in idnkit version 1.0: 99 100* Change ACE prefix of Punycode from 'zq--' to 'xn--'. And delete 101 configure's --with-punycode-prefix option. 102 103* Add NAMEPREP version RFC3491. Other versions of NAMEPREP are 104 removed. 105 106* Enable idnconv to handle a input line as long as memory permitted 107 when encoding/decoding. 108 109* unicode-form-c and unicode-form-c/3.2.0 are not supported. 110 111* Unicode 3.0.1 and Unicode 3.1.0 are not supported. 112 113* Delete BIND8, Squid and GNU libiconv patches. 114 115Major changes in idnkit version 1.0-pr2: 116 117* The license of idnkit is changed to a less restrictive one. See 118 LICENSE.txt for the new license. 119 120* The local codeset name used in the test suite, which is hard-coded 121 in the previous version, can be specified by a separate header file. 122 123* IDN encoding and decoding now always check the validity of the 124 result by performing roundtrip conversion check. 125 126Major changes in idnkit version 1.0-pr1: 127 128* Some test cases are added to the testsuite. 129 130* The testsuite can run on OpenBSD. 131 132Major changes in idnkit version 020829: 133 134* Testsuit is added for the library behavior check. 135 Testsuit and testcases are in lib/tests. Read INSTALL (INSTALL.ja) 136 for details. Tests aim at api, checker, converter, delimitermap, 137 mapper, mapselecter, normalizer, res, resconf, and ucs4 at the 138 moment. 139 140* "amcacez" module is renamed to "punycode". 141 142* AMC-ACE-Z and RACE are now treated as extra ACE. 143 144* Add "--with-utf8=NAME" option to configure script. 145 146Major changes in idnkit version 020730: 147 148* Complete bidi check support for NAMEPREP draft -11. 149 150* Type definitions of action flags for conversion APIs are changed 151 from int to idn_action_t. 152 153* Add -nobidicheck option to idnconv command. 154 155Major changes in idnkit version 020711: 156 157* Default delimiters are added according to IDNA-10. 158 159* ``delimiter-map'' entry in config file is removed. 160 161* Add Unicode version 3.2 support. 162 163* Add preliminary support of NAMEPREP draft -11. 164 This version supports NAMEPREP draft -11 without bidirectional label 165 check. 166 167* Supported NAMEPREP versions are changed. 168 idnkit supports NAMEPREP draft version -03, -10, and -11. Others 169 are removed. 170 171* IDN encoding DUDE is removed. 172 173* New action flags are available for conversion APIs. 174 IDN_ENCODE_QUERY, IDN_DECODE_QUERY, IDN_ENCODE_STORED, and 175 IDN_DECODE_STORED are newly created according to IDNA specification. 176 See include/idn/res.h for precise description. 177 178* Action flags IDN_ENCODE_APP, IDN_DECODE_APP and IDN_NAMEPREP change 179 those behavior. 180 See include/idn/res.h for precise description. 181 182* New decode APIs are created. 183 idn_decodename2() and idn_res_decodename2() are defined to add 184 conversion process from "IDN string encoded in local encoding" to 185 UTF-8 before actual decode process of IDN. 186 187* idnconv with -reverse option treats input as IDN string(s) encoded 188 in local encoding specified by -out option. 189 190* idnconv recognizes `-A' option which is synonym for `-noasciicheck'. 191 192* (Windows) idn Wrapper can run on Windows XP. 193 194* BIND-8 patch for BIND-8.3.3 is available and other patches of BIND-8 195 are removed. 196 197Major changes in idnkit version 1.0-rc1: 198 199* NAMEPREP draft -09 is supported. 200 201* idnconv now accepts any encodings specified as argument for `-in' 202 or `-out' option. `-out' accepts non-ACE, and `-in' accepts ACE. 203 204* In configuration file, `encoding-alias-file' entry is not supported 205 any longer. It is simply ignored. 206 207Major changes in idnkit version 1.0-beta2: 208 209* Supported nameprep version is changed. 210 Now idnkit supports nameprep-03, nameprep-06, and nameprep-08. 211 Nameprep-05 and nameprep-07 are not supported any more. 212 213* Compatibility with mDNkit is added. 214 This feature provides applications formerly written using mDNkit 215 library with some source level compatibilities. If you want to use 216 this feature, set `--enable-mdnkit-compat' option at execution time 217 of configure script. 218 219* Now idnkit can set up easily without configuration file. 220 As this feature is added, initialization function and some behavior 221 of top level API are changed. 222 223* BIND-8 patch supports IDN conversion in itself. 224 225* (Windows) idnkit library looks for configuration files with registry 226 information. 227 228* (Windows) idnkit library returns "CP<code page number>" as local 229 encoding name when the environment variable "IDN_LOCAL_CODESET" is 230 not set. 231 232* (Windows) libidnkit/libidnkitlite are now installed as DLL. 233 234* (Windows) idnconv can be executed as a console application. 235 236Major changes in idnkit version 1.0-beta1: 237 238* mDNkit has been renamed idnkit. 239 This means all symbols with "mdn" are renamed with "idn". For 240 example, a function `mdn_encodename()' is now `idn_encodename()', an 241 environment variable "MDN_DISABLE" is "IDN_DISABLE", system 242 configuretion file is "idn.conf", `runmdn' command is `runidn', and 243 so forth. 244 245* Also, library name has been changed to "libidnkit(lite)". 246 247* `mdnsproxy' command has been removed. 248 249* `runidn' (formerly known as `runmdn') command is not installed by 250 default. 251 If you want to install it, set "yes" to `--enable-runidn' option 252 when you run configure script. 253 254* idnkitlite library only instalation is supported. 255 Set "yes" to `--enable-liteonly' option at execution of configure 256 script to use this feature. 257 258* BIND-9.1.3 patch has been removed. 259 260* User configuration file is supported. 261 idnkit now uses ".idnrc" in user's home directory for configuration 262 of whole scheme. If there is no user configuration file, then it 263 tries to load the system configuration file "idn.conf". 264 265* idnkit is now able to run without configuration file. 266 If there are no configuration files (both of user's and system's), 267 it sets normal configurations (the latest nameprep scheme it 268 supports and the IDN encoding "Punycode") automatically at runtime. 269 270* Encoding alias information file is supported. (by generic libidnkit) 271 Its name is "idnalias.conf" by default and it should be located in 272 same directory where the system configuration file is. Example 273 alias information file "idnalias.conf.sample" is installed 274 automatically. 275 276* APIs are renewed. See manpage. 277 278* Now idnkit has full support of IDNA-07. 279 280* Internal representation of domain name is changed to UCS4 in place 281 of UTF-8. 282
