* Version 1.3 (released 2007-12-11) ** Some hints on Windows installation in the manual.
** Update translations. Added Czech translation, thanks to Petr Pisar. ** Use gettext 0.17. ** Update gnulib files. 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. Libidn is a fully documented implementation of the Stringprep, Punycode and IDNA specifications defined by the IETF Internationalized Domain Names (IDN) working group, used for internationalized domain names. The native C, C# and Java libraries are available under the GNU Lesser General Public License version 2.1. 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. Libidn is developed for the GNU/Linux system, but runs on over 20 Unix platforms (including Solaris, IRIX, AIX, and Tru64) and Windows. Libidn is written in C and (parts of) the API is accessible from C, C#, C++, Emacs Lisp, Python and Java. Also included is a command line tool, several self tests, code examples, and more, all licensed under the GNU General Public License version 3.0. All manual formats are available from: http://josefsson.org/libidn/manual/ 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.
