libidn NEWS:
===============

 ** Translations files not stored directly in git to avoid merge conflicts.
 This allows us to avoid use of --no-location which makes the
 translation teams happier.

 ** Update gnulib files.

 ** API and ABI is backwards compatible with the previous version.

 * Version 1.7 (released 2008-04-10)

 ** idn: new parameter --nfkc to process string with Unicode v3.2 NFKC.

 ** Minor build fix for native Win32 builds.

 ** Update gnulib files.

 ** API and ABI is backwards compatible with the previous version.

 * Version 1.6 (released 2008-03-19)

 ** Add native Windows Visual Studio project files.
 Contributed by Adam Strzelecki <ono@java.pl>.

 ** Remove non-free portions of RFC 3454 in doc/specifications/rfc3454.txt.

 ** Update gnulib files.

 ** Doc fixes in IDNA to clarify that some functions operate on
 ** just one domain labels and some operate on domain name (which
 ** can contain several domain labels).

 ** API and ABI is backwards compatible with the previous version.

 * Version 1.5 (released 2008-02-19)

 ** Don't include wchar.h in idn-int.h.
 Fixes problems on uClibc systems which lack a wchar.h.  Reported by
 Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org>, see
 <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.libidn.general/118>.

 ** Added appendix 'On Label Separators' to the manual.
 Thanks to Erik van der Poel <erikv@google.com> for bringing the issue
 to our attention and for discussing the matter.  See
 <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.libidn.general/96>.

 ** Improved rendering of non-ASCII in the info manual.
 Done by adding a @documentencoding UTF-8.  This affect how the
 examples are encoded, the files examples/*.c are now encoded using
 UTF-8 instead of a mix of ISO-8859-1 and ISO-8859-15.

 ** Fix non-portable use of brace expansion in makefiles.

 ** Update translations.

 ** Update gnulib files.

 ** API and ABI is backwards compatible with the previous version.

 ** Improve idn --version and --help output to conform to GNU standards.
 This also enables translations of --help output.

 Vietnamese.

 * Version 1.3 (released 2007-12-11)

 ** Some hints on Windows installation in the manual.

 ** Update translations.
 Added Czech translation, thanks to Petr Pisar.

 Top-level gnulib files are now distributed under GPLv3+.  (The gnulib
 files used by the core library are still under LGPLv2.1+.)

 ** API and ABI is backwards compatible with the previous version.

 
DESCRIPTION:
============
GNU Libidn is an implementation of the Stringprep, Punycode and IDNA specifications 
defined by the IETF Internationalized Domain Names (IDN) working group, used for internationalized 
domain names. The C library is available under the GNU Lesser General Public License.

The library contains a generic Stringprep implementation that does Unicode 3.2 NFKC normalization, 
mapping and prohibitation of characters, and bidirectional character handling. Profiles for iSCSI, 
Kerberos 5, Nameprep, SASL and XMPP are included. Punycode and ASCII Compatible Encoding (ACE) via 
IDNA are supported.
