I am pleased to announce the availability of Libidn version 0.5.19! Noteworthy changes since version 0.5.18: - The test for setlocale and nl_langinfo has now been separated. - Gnulib updates, fixes for getopt. - Java manuals in doc/java/ are now generated by Gjdoc from GNU Classpath. - Kaffe is used to link the pre-built libidn-*.jar file. - Translation updates.
Libidn is a modern C library to perform internationalized string processing based on the Stringprep, Punycode, Internationalizing Domain Names in Applications (IDNA) specifications. 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 Nameprep, iSCSI, SASL and XMPP are included. Punycode and ASCII Compatible Encoding (ACE) via IDNA are supported. A mechanism to define Top-Level Domain (TLD) specific validation tables, and to compare strings against those tables, is included. Default tables for some TLDs are also included. Finally, the library can detect "problem sequences" that may trigger bugs in various NFKC implementations. Improving Libidn is costly, but you can help! We are looking for organizations that find Libidn useful and wish to contribute back. You can contribute by reporting bugs, improve the software, or donate money or equipment. Commercial support contracts for Libidn are available, and they help finance continued maintenance. Simon Josefsson Datakonsult, a Stockholm based privately held company, is currently funding Libidn maintenance. We are always looking for interesting development projects. If you need help to use Libidn, or want to help others, you are invited to join our help-libidn mailing list, see: <http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-libidn>.
