2.7:
Update to Unicode 10.0.0.
No longer accepts dot-prefixed domains (e.g. ".example") as valid. This is to be more conformant with the UTS 46 spec. Users should strip dot prefixes from domains before processing.
2.6 (2017-08-08)
++++++++++++++++
- Allows generation of IDNA and UTS 46 table data for different
versions of Unicode, by deriving properties directly from
Unicode data.
- Ability to generate RFC 5892/IANA-style table data
- Diagnostic output of IDNA-related Unicode properties and
derived calculations for a given codepoint
- Support for idna.__version__ to report version
- Support for idna.idnadata.__version__ and
idna.uts46data.__version__ to report Unicode version of
underlying IDNA and UTS 46 data respectively.
2.4 (2017-03-01)
++++++++++++++++
- Restore IDNAError to be a subclass of UnicodeError, as some users of
this library are only looking for the latter to catch invalid strings.
2.3 (2017-02-28)
++++++++++++++++
- Fix bugs relating to deriving IDNAError from UnicodeError.
- More memory footprint improvements (Thanks, Alex Gaynor)
2.2 (2016-12-21)
++++++++++++++++
- Made some changes to the UTS 46 data that should allow Jython to get around
64kb Java class limits. (Thanks, John A. Booth and Marcin Płonka.)
- In Python 2.6, skip two tests that rely on data not present in that
Python version's unicodedata module.
- Use relative imports to help downstream users.
2.1 (2016-03-20)
++++++++++++++++
- Memory consumption optimizations. The library should consume significantly
less memory through smarter data structures being used to represent
relevant Unicode properties. Many thanks to Shivaram Lingamneni for this
patch.
- Patches to make library work better with Python 2.6. The core library
currently works however the unit testing does not. (Thanks, Robert
Buchholz)
- Better affix all Unicode codepoint properties to a specific version.
2.0 (2015-05-18)
++++++++++++++++
- Added support for Unicode IDNA Compatibility Processing (aka Unicode
Technical Standard #46). Big thanks to Jon Ribbens who contributed this
functionality.
A library to support the Internationalised Domain Names in Applications
(IDNA) protocol as specified in RFC 5891. This version of the
protocol is often referred to as IDNA2008 and can produce different
results from the earlier standard from 2003.
The library is also intended to act as a suitable drop-in replacement
for the encodings.idna module that comes with the Python standard
library but currently only supports the older 2003 specification.
