It has become stateful since. Other than that, it depends on what you want to do, given libunistring offers much more than text segmentation. I'm still reflecting on how I want to implement case conversion and detection in libgrapheme and hadn't had the time to work on it yet. What functions do you need in the context of Tuxmath? With best regards Laslo
