Free Implementation of the Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm.
The library implements all of the algorithm as described in the "Unicode
Standard Annex #9, The Bidirectional Algorithm,
http://www.unicode.org/unicode/reports/tr9/". FriBidi is exhautively tested
against Bidi Reference Code, and due to our best knowledge, does not contain
any conformance bugs.
In the API, we were inspired by the document "Bi-Di languages support - BiDi
API proposal" by Franck Portaneri which he wrote as a proposal for adding BiDi
support to Mozilla.
Internally the library uses Unicode entirely. The character property function
was automatically created from the Unicode property list data file,
PropList.txt, available from the Unicode Online Data site. This means that
every Unicode character will be treated in strict accordance with the Unicode
specification. The same is true for the mirroring of characters, which also
works for all the characters listed as mirrorable in the Unicode specification.
changes since 2.20:
Release 2.21
Documentation tweaks.
Don't rely on SvEND(sv) == '\0' as discussed in the perl5-porters
mailing list thread that starts with
http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/perl5-porters/2003-10/msg00258.html
Should now pass test suite even without XS support.
Perl v5.005 or better is now required.
0.31 Wed Oct 16 01:22:34 CEST 2002
- no internal code changes.
- much better documentation, now considered "useful".
- removed the procedural interface.
- fought the wish to perl-5.8'ify and thus simply the code :().
- stress-tested version 0.3 against 70000 data postings since sunday.
0.3 Sun Oct 13 15:12:11 CEST 2002
- updated to uulib 0.5.18. As expected, some but not all of my bugfixes
have went into uulib, sdo the number of differences decreased a bit
again.
- I found out that the library is being sold commercially by Frank
Pilhofer, disregarding the GPL and ignoring the rights of the people
who sent in patches :(
- vastly more useful documentation in the .pm file.
- much smaller distribution filesize ;)
These are experimental modules to handle various Unicode issues.
They were made before perl included native UTF8 support.
The current set of modules are:
Unicode::String - represent strings of Unicode chars
Unicode::CharName - look up character names
Unicode::Map8 - mapping tables towards 8-bit char sets
(the Unicode::Map8 module is distributed separately)
Inspired by FreeBSD "ports".
Fix the PLISTs accordingly.
Also, while at it, remove now obsolete compileall.py calls in post-install
targets and insure that extension.mk is in included before builinlinks of
other Python modules.
Discussed with/ok'ed by drochner@.
in directory conftest during configire run.
So then 'rmdir conftest' fails, then all 'cc -o conftest ...' tests fail,
then ...
So clean up a bit before rmdir'ing conftest hence fix compilation
on said platform.
libiconv. Some packages insist on adding '-liconv' during link
or assumes the existent of it with they found iconv.h.
BUILDLINK_TRANSFORM can handle that.
Put it in in libiconv/buildlink2.mk for systematic coverage and
remove it from package "Makefile".
BTW this fix the build of chat/centericq - and probably others - on
-current.
Okayed by jlam@.
Some highlights of changes since 4.2.3:
* PCRE updated to 4.3, GD to 2.0.15
* improved Apache2 support
* much improved stream & URL wrapper support, output compression support
* added CLI (Command Line Interface) SAPI
* debug_backtrace() backported from ZendEngine2
* faster build system
* huge number of other bug fixes and improvements
Packaging changes:
* 'pcre', 'xml', and 'session' modules folded back into main package -
'pcre' and 'xml' is required by PEAR, and 'session' is just too essential
to be separate
* 'gd' module now uses bundled PHP GD library, which is better integrated
* PHP modules use shared distinfo when possible to ease future PHP updates
* ${PREFIX}/bin/php is now CLI version, ${PREFIX}/libexec/cgi-big/php
remains CGI version
libiconv exists/is needed and whether to link it in). This means packages
can avoid hardcoding LDFLAGS+=-liconv and breaking on -current.
Fixes gnomeicu for -current and 1.6.x
problem. The symptoms appear to match the situation where a library exists
in /usr/lib that matches the name of the pkgsrc-installed library, but the
corresponding .la file doesn't exist in /usr/lib. Fix this by using
building a fake libtool archive if we use the system library.
code2html is a perlscript which converts a program source code to syntax
highlighted HTML. It may be called from the command line or as a CGI script.
It can also handle include commands in HTML files. Currently supports: Ada 95,
C, C++, HTML, Java, JavaScript, Makefile, Pascal, Perl, SQL, AWK, M4, and
Groff.
decode_qp() recognize soft whitespace when there is whitespace
between the '=' and the '\n'.
decode_qp() did eat up all trailing whitespace in the string decoded.
Only whitespace in front of "\n" should go.
libstdc++ in gcc3.
when defined, USE_GCC_SHLIB ensures that the correct rpath is passed
to the linker, and a full dependency on the compiler package is
registered.
packages which define USE_GCC_SHLIB should not include
mk/gcc.buildlink2.mk (or gcc{,3}/buildlink2.mk) as it is handled
automatically.
Read data from Excel spread sheets without Microsoft!
Provides an API to allow any application to read Excel
documents. Demo interface converts data to tab
delimited, CSV or SQL inserts. Written in C. Based on
the the Java version by Andrew Khan.
Provided by David Forrai <david.forrai@gemair.com> in PR#21103,
slightly modified by me. Thanks!
* Fix up INSTALLDIRS for perl-5.8 and newer
* Make it reliable to disable base64 decoding warnings
* Passing "" as $eol to encode_qp() disable soft line breaks as well
* Sync up with changes in bleadperl
Makefiles simply need to use this value often, for better or for
worse.
(2) Create a new variable FIX_RPATH that lists variables that should
be cleansed of -R or -rpath values if ${_USE_RPATH} is "no". By
default, FIX_RPATH contains LIBS, X11_LDFLAGS, and LDFLAGS, and
additional variables may be appended from package Makefiles.
exists. Use this check to appropriately assign a value to a new public
variable BUILDLINK_LIBICONV_LDADD that contains the linker options needed
so that the iconv functions resolve correctly.
Changes:
1.2 Fri Jul 27 10:46:56 METDST 2001
- converting undef now always returns undef
- since HP-UX seems to be the only platform where the second
argument to iconv() is *not* const char**, put an #ifdef
into Iconv.xs
Release 2.16
Fixed the encode_qp() line breaking code. It sometimes
made lines longer than 76 chars and it could even get into
an infinite loop on certain inputs.
Release 2.15
Fixed the XS based decode_qp() for strings where a =XX
sequence was followed by digits.
Faster encode_qp() for long strings with lots of chars
that need escaping.
The old_decode_base64() function introduced in 2.13
was returning undef for empty input on olders perls.
This problem has been fixed.
Release 2.14
MIME::QuotedPrint functions now also implemented using XS
which make them faster. 2-3 times faster when encoding line by
line and as much as 200 times faster on long binary input. There
is probably some breakage on non-ASCII systems from this.
The encode_qp() function now takes an $eol argument in the
same way as encode_base64() does.
Slight change in behaviour: the decode_qp() function now turns
\r\n terminated lines into \n terminated lines. This makes is
more likely that encode_qp(decode_qp()) round-trip properly.
Included {en,de}code-{base64,qp} utility scripts.
Release 2.13
Sync up with bleadperl:
- Documentation update
- EBCDIC support
- Whitespace tweaks
- Improved Unicode support
- Test suite tweaks
Improved version of the old_{en,de}code_base64 functions
contributed by Paul Szabo <psz@maths.usyd.edu.au>.
This is two releases since 0.7.3 took a wrong turn somewhere and
was last seen rummaging in the bins behind NewsForge.net for old
documents. Any information leading to the recovery of the errant
release will be rewarded with a free copy of wv-0.7.4.
As usual I'm clueless about who has contributed what to wv since
the previous release. Martin Junius did a bunch of stuff, again;
Golan a.k.a. 'risk it' and Tian Huisohu found some memory leaks;
Corby Wilson fixed some stuff (hey, even I fixed some stuff :-),
and of course lots of stuff by Dom (internationalization etc.).
