New in 1.14:
* The 'iconv' program now produces its output as soon as it can. It no longer
unnecessarily waits for more input.
* Updated the GB18030 converter to map 25 characters to code points that have
been to Unicode since 2000, rather than to code points in the Private Use
Area.
* Updated the BIG5-HKSCS converter. The old BIG5-HKSCS converter is renamed to
BIG5-HKSCS:2004. A new converter BIG5-HKSCS:2008 is added. BIG5-HKSCS is now
an alias for BIG5-HKSCS:2008.
* Fixed a bug in the conversion to wchar_t.
* Fixed a small bug in the CP1258 converter.
* The library and the iconv program now understand platform dependent aliases,
for better compatibility with the platform's own iconv_open function.
Examples: "646" on Solaris, "iso88591" on HP-UX, "IBM-1252" on AIX.
* For stateful encodings, when the input ends with a shift sequence followed
by invalid input, the iconv function now increments the input pointer past
the shift sequence before returning (size_t)(-1) with errno = EILSEQ. This
is also like GNU libc's iconv() behaves.
* The library exports a new function iconv_open_into() that stores the
conversion descriptor in pre-allocated memory, rather than allocating fresh
memory for it.
* Added CP1131 converter.
New in libiconv-1.12-cp932.patch:
* Changed CP932 converter to use exact mapping table.
* Added WINDOWS-31J, csWINDOWS31J, SJIS-OPEN, SJIS-WIN as aliases for CP932.
* Added EUCJP-MS converter.
* Added EUC-JP-MS, EUCJP-OPEN, EUCJP-WIN as aliases for EUCJP-MS.
New in 1.12:
* The iconv program is now licensed under the GPL version 3, instead of the
GPL version 2. The libiconv library continues to be licensed under LGPL.
* Added RK1048 converter.
* On AIX, an existing system libiconv no longer causes setlocale() to fail.
* Upgraded EUC-KR, JOHAB to include the Korean postal code sign.
