; $Id: NEWS,v 1.1 2003/06/04 00:25:03 marka Exp $ Major changes in idnkit version 1.0: * Change ACE prefix of Punycode from 'zq--' to 'xn--'. And delete configure's --with-punycode-prefix option. * Add NAMEPREP version RFC3491. Other versions of NAMEPREP are removed. * Enable idnconv to handle a input line as long as memory permitted when encoding/decoding. * unicode-form-c and unicode-form-c/3.2.0 are not supported. * Unicode 3.0.1 and Unicode 3.1.0 are not supported. * Delete BIND8, Squid and GNU libiconv patches. Major changes in idnkit version 1.0-pr2: * The license of idnkit is changed to a less restrictive one. See LICENSE.txt for the new license. * The local codeset name used in the test suite, which is hard-coded in the previous version, can be specified by a separate header file. * IDN encoding and decoding now always check the validity of the result by performing roundtrip conversion check. Major changes in idnkit version 1.0-pr1: * Some test cases are added to the testsuite. * The testsuite can run on OpenBSD. Major changes in idnkit version 020829: * Testsuit is added for the library behavior check. Testsuit and testcases are in lib/tests. Read INSTALL (INSTALL.ja) for details. Tests aim at api, checker, converter, delimitermap, mapper, mapselecter, normalizer, res, resconf, and ucs4 at the moment. * "amcacez" module is renamed to "punycode". * AMC-ACE-Z and RACE are now treated as extra ACE. * Add "--with-utf8=NAME" option to configure script. Major changes in idnkit version 020730: * Complete bidi check support for NAMEPREP draft -11. * Type definitions of action flags for conversion APIs are changed from int to idn_action_t. * Add -nobidicheck option to idnconv command. Major changes in idnkit version 020711: * Default delimiters are added according to IDNA-10. * ``delimiter-map'' entry in config file is removed. * Add Unicode version 3.2 support. * Add preliminary support of NAMEPREP draft -11. This version supports NAMEPREP draft -11 without bidirectional label check. * Supported NAMEPREP versions are changed. idnkit supports NAMEPREP draft version -03, -10, and -11. Others are removed. * IDN encoding DUDE is removed. * New action flags are available for conversion APIs. IDN_ENCODE_QUERY, IDN_DECODE_QUERY, IDN_ENCODE_STORED, and IDN_DECODE_STORED are newly created according to IDNA specification. See include/idn/res.h for precise description. * Action flags IDN_ENCODE_APP, IDN_DECODE_APP and IDN_NAMEPREP change those behavior. See include/idn/res.h for precise description. * New decode APIs are created. idn_decodename2() and idn_res_decodename2() are defined to add conversion process from "IDN string encoded in local encoding" to UTF-8 before actual decode process of IDN. * idnconv with -reverse option treats input as IDN string(s) encoded in local encoding specified by -out option. * idnconv recognizes `-A' option which is synonym for `-noasciicheck'. * (Windows) idn Wrapper can run on Windows XP. * BIND-8 patch for BIND-8.3.3 is available and other patches of BIND-8 are removed. Major changes in idnkit version 1.0-rc1: * NAMEPREP draft -09 is supported. * idnconv now accepts any encodings specified as argument for `-in' or `-out' option. `-out' accepts non-ACE, and `-in' accepts ACE. * In configuration file, `encoding-alias-file' entry is not supported any longer. It is simply ignored. Major changes in idnkit version 1.0-beta2: * Supported nameprep version is changed. Now idnkit supports nameprep-03, nameprep-06, and nameprep-08. Nameprep-05 and nameprep-07 are not supported any more. * Compatibility with mDNkit is added. This feature provides applications formerly written using mDNkit library with some source level compatibilities. If you want to use this feature, set `--enable-mdnkit-compat' option at execution time of configure script. * Now idnkit can set up easily without configuration file. As this feature is added, initialization function and some behavior of top level API are changed. * BIND-8 patch supports IDN conversion in itself. * (Windows) idnkit library looks for configuration files with registry information. * (Windows) idnkit library returns "CP<code page number>" as local encoding name when the environment variable "IDN_LOCAL_CODESET" is not set. * (Windows) libidnkit/libidnkitlite are now installed as DLL. * (Windows) idnconv can be executed as a console application. Major changes in idnkit version 1.0-beta1: * mDNkit has been renamed idnkit. This means all symbols with "mdn" are renamed with "idn". For example, a function `mdn_encodename()' is now `idn_encodename()', an environment variable "MDN_DISABLE" is "IDN_DISABLE", system configuretion file is "idn.conf", `runmdn' command is `runidn', and so forth. * Also, library name has been changed to "libidnkit(lite)". * `mdnsproxy' command has been removed. * `runidn' (formerly known as `runmdn') command is not installed by default. If you want to install it, set "yes" to `--enable-runidn' option when you run configure script. * idnkitlite library only instalation is supported. Set "yes" to `--enable-liteonly' option at execution of configure script to use this feature. * BIND-9.1.3 patch has been removed. * User configuration file is supported. idnkit now uses ".idnrc" in user's home directory for configuration of whole scheme. If there is no user configuration file, then it tries to load the system configuration file "idn.conf". * idnkit is now able to run without configuration file. If there are no configuration files (both of user's and system's), it sets normal configurations (the latest nameprep scheme it supports and the IDN encoding "Punycode") automatically at runtime. * Encoding alias information file is supported. (by generic libidnkit) Its name is "idnalias.conf" by default and it should be located in same directory where the system configuration file is. Example alias information file "idnalias.conf.sample" is installed automatically. * APIs are renewed. See manpage. * Now idnkit has full support of IDNA-07. * Internal representation of domain name is changed to UCS4 in place of UTF-8.
