* Version 1.20 (released 2011-03-01) [?]
** libidn: Fix bug in ToUnicode to compare 'xn--' case-insensitively.
The problem is typically noticed when an upper ACE case string is
converted to Unicode. Before, this would return the input rather than
converting the ACE form to Unicode. Reported by Stepan Golosunov
<stepan@golosunov.pp.ru> in <http://bugs.debian.org/610617>.
** tests: Added self-test tst_idna3 to catch any regression of problem above.
** idn: Only print copyright and license blurb when used interactively.
Reported by "Andrew O. Shadoura" <bugzilla@tut.by> and Roman Mamedov
<rm@romanrm.ru> in <http://bugs.debian.org/615947> and
<http://bugs.debian.org/615949> respectively.

** doc: Typo fixes. Added PDF version of API reference manual.
See doc/reference/libidn.pdf.
** build: Update gnulib files.
** build: Use valgrind -q to reduce verbosity.
** API and ABI is backwards compatible with the previous version.
* Version 1.18 (released 2010-02-15) [stable]
** libidn: Put forgotten symbols under old namespace.
Reverts one unnecessary change introduced in 1.17. Suggested by Marco
d'Itri <md@linux.it>.
* Version 1.17 (released 2010-02-05)
** Fix symbol export problem for a few variables.
Applications (that use these rarely used variables) built against
versions before 1.13 did not work with libidn versions 1.13 to 1.16.
Symbol versioning was introduced in version 1.13 but by accident some
symbols that were visible before that release were not exported, and
the consequence was that those symbols were not available in version
1.13 to 1.16. This release fixes the problem, so the symbols are
visible again, making this release backwards compatible with all
earlier releases.
The affected symbols are the following variables:
stringprep_iscsi_prohibit, stringprep_rfc3454_A_1,
stringprep_rfc3454_B_1, stringprep_rfc3454_B_2,
stringprep_rfc3454_B_3, stringprep_rfc3454_C_1_1,
stringprep_rfc3454_C_1_2, stringprep_rfc3454_C_2_1,
stringprep_rfc3454_C_2_2, stringprep_rfc3454_C_3,
stringprep_rfc3454_C_4, stringprep_rfc3454_C_5,
stringprep_rfc3454_C_6, stringprep_rfc3454_C_7,
stringprep_rfc3454_C_8, stringprep_rfc3454_C_9,
stringprep_rfc3454_D_1, stringprep_rfc3454_D_2,
stringprep_saslprep_space_map.
Thanks to Marco d'Itri <md@linux.it> for reporting
<http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=561291> that led to
discovering this problem.
** Really fix the link error of self-tests on MinGW.
** API and ABI is backwards compatible with the previous version.
** java: Add a Maven pom.xml project file.
Contributed by Guus der Kinderen <guus.der.kinderen@gmail.com>.
** Fix a link error on MinGW.
** API and ABI is backwards compatible with the previous version.
* Version 1.15 (released 2009-06-08)
** libidn: Use c_strcasecmp instead of strcasecmp.
For portability to NetWare CLIB. The specification requires a ASCII
comparison, so it is also more appropriate to use c_strcasecmp.
Reported by Guenter Knauf <gk@gknw.de>.
** java: Fix some Java compiler warnings.
** doc: Improved sections for the info manual.
We now follow the advice given by the texinfo manual on which
directory categories to use. In particular, libidn moved from the
'GNU Libraries' section to the 'Software libraries' and 'Invoking idn'
moved from 'GNU utilities' to 'Localization'.
** New configure parameters to set packaging specific information.
The parameters are --with-packager, --with-packager-version, and
--with-packager-bug-reports. See
<http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.gnulib.bugs/17791> for more
details.
** API and ABI is backwards compatible with the previous version.
Building with texinfo 4.1 causes build errors mentioning unknown commands
"copying" (according to texinfo NEWS file introduced in texinfo 4.2) and
"ordf" (NEWS tells us texinfo 4.7) before killing the build.
* Version 1.14 (released 2009-04-03)
** libidn: Install a libidn-*.def file when building under MinGW.
The file is useful if you develop programs in Visual Studio that links
to libidn.
** tests/tst_toutf8: Don't crash if stringprep_utf8_to_locale returns NULL.
Reported by Dagobert Michelsen <dam@opencsw.org> in
<http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.libidn.general/192>.
** API and ABI is backwards compatible with the previous version.
This changes the buildlink3.mk files to use an include guard for the
recursive include. The use of BUILDLINK_DEPTH, BUILDLINK_DEPENDS,
BUILDLINK_PACKAGES and BUILDLINK_ORDER is handled by a single new
variable BUILDLINK_TREE. Each buildlink3.mk file adds a pair of
enter/exit marker, which can be used to reconstruct the tree and
to determine first level includes. Avoiding := for large variables
(BUILDLINK_ORDER) speeds up parse time as += has linear complexity.
The include guard reduces system time by avoiding reading files over and
over again. For complex packages this reduces both %user and %sys time to
half of the former time.
* Version 1.13 (released 2009-03-06)
** libidn: Use a LD version script on platforms where it is supported.
Currently only GNU LD and the Solaris linker supports it. This helps
Debian package tools to produce better dependencies. Before we used
Libtool -export-symbols-regex that created an anonymous version tag.
Libidn uses -export-symbols-regex if the system does not support LD
version scripts, but that only affect symbol visibility.
** libidn: Compiled with -fvisibility=hidden by default if supported.
Currently only GCC supports it for ELF targets. This hides internal
symbols and has other advantages, see
<http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Visibility>.
** libidn: Compiled with warning flags only when GCC is used.
This avoids the problem that some flags confuse non-GCC compilers, for
example -fdiagnostics-show-option. Reported by
jens.rehsack@bayerbbs.com.
** doc: The idn_free function is now documented.
Suggested by "Sisyphus" <sisyphus1@optusnet.com.au>.
** API and ABI is backwards compatible with the previous version.
* Version 1.12 (released 2009-01-23)
** idn: New parameter --no-tld to deprecate the old parameter --tld.
The new parameter --no-tld disable TLD checking of the input string.
The --tld parameter was broken; it behaved opposite to its documented
behaviour. To avoid confusion over what --tld means, we decided to
deprecate it. Now --tld is not printed in the idn --help output, but
will continue to work as before.
** doc: Modernize doxygen configuration.
** doc: Change license on the manual to GFDLv1.3+.
** doc: Improve JavaDoc output.
** Update gnulib files and translations.
** Build with more warnings.
* Version 1.11 (released 2008-10-28)
** libidn: New WARN_CFLAGS configure variable.
It is used internally to add -Werror and other warnings flags, to
catch coding mistakes before releases.
** Win32: Perl is no longer required to build Libidn in Visual Studio.
** Win32: Functions in idna.h are also exported.
Reported by Adam Strzelecki <adam.strzelecki@java.pl>.
** doc: Included cyclomatic code complexity charts of the library code.
See doc/cyclo/.
** tests: Add more self-tests to get more self-test code coverage.
** tests: New 'make coverage' command to generate code coverage reports.
The output is created in doc/coverage/. Requires the LCOV tools. See
http://www.gnu.org/software/libidn/coverage/ for a pre-generated copy.
** Clarify copyright and license for gdoc, man pages, and C# port.
** Update gnulib files and translations.
** API and ABI is backwards compatible with the previous version.
* Version 1.10 (released 2008-08-27)
** idn: accept -n as short form for --nfkc.
Before '-k' was used as the short form, but all documentation has said
'-n'. We now accept both short forms, and -n remains the documented
short form. Reported by John McGowan <jmcgowan@inch.com> in
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-libidn/2008-08/msg00000.html>.
** Fix compiler warnings.
** Update gnulib files.
** Update translations.
** API and ABI is backwards compatible with the previous version.
* Version 1.8 (released 2008-04-23)
** Translations files not stored directly in git to avoid merge conflicts.
This allows us to avoid use of --no-location which makes the
translation teams happier.
** Update gnulib files.
** API and ABI is backwards compatible with the previous version.
* Version 1.7 (released 2008-04-10)
** idn: new parameter --nfkc to process string with Unicode v3.2 NFKC.
** Minor build fix for native Win32 builds.
** Update gnulib files.
** API and ABI is backwards compatible with the previous version.
** Don't include wchar.h in idn-int.h.
Fixes problems on uClibc systems which lack a wchar.h. Reported by
Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org>, see
<http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.libidn.general/118>.
** Added appendix 'On Label Separators' to the manual.
Thanks to Erik van der Poel <erikv@google.com> for bringing the issue
to our attention and for discussing the matter. See
<http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.libidn.general/96>.
** Improved rendering of non-ASCII in the info manual.
Done by adding a @documentencoding UTF-8. This affect how the
examples are encoded, the files examples/*.c are now encoded using
UTF-8 instead of a mix of ISO-8859-1 and ISO-8859-15.
** Fix non-portable use of brace expansion in makefiles.
** Update translations.
** Update gnulib files.
** API and ABI is backwards compatible with the previous version.
* Version 1.4 (released 2008-01-09)
** Fixes to make the C# port compile under Mono.

Added Finish translation, thanks to Jorma Karvonen. Updated Dutch and
Vietnamese.
** API and ABI is backwards compatible with the previous version.
* 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.
* Version 1.2 (released 2007-10-01)
** Development git tree moved to savannah.
See <https://savannah.gnu.org/projects/libidn/>.
** Update gnulib files.
Including mono detection fixes.
** Update translations.
** API and ABI is backwards compatible with the previous version.
* Version 1.1 (released 2007-09-01)
** Fix compilation error in idn-int.h.
The error would typically be 'error: no include path in which to
search for stdint.h'. Reported by Remko van der Vossen
<wich@stack.nl>, see
<http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.libidn.general/65> and
<http://bugs.sourcemage.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13857>.
** Declare external variables with __declspec(import) for Windows.
Apparently this is required for variables in DLL's on Windows. This
is enabled if __DECLSPEC_SUPPORTED is defined (MinGW), or if _MSC_VER
and_DLL is defined (MSVC).
** Update gnulib files.
** Update translations.
** API and ABI is backwards compatible with the previous version.
* Version 1.0 (released 2007-07-31)
** Command-line tools, examples, etc are now licensed under GPL version 3.
The library is still licensed under LGPL v2.1 for compatibility
reasons (it is included in glibc).
** Updated documentation as per license change.
** Update gnulib files.
** Update translations.
** API and ABI is backwards compatible with the previous version.
* Version 0.6.14 (released 2007-05-31)
** Libidn is now developed using Git instead of CVS.
A public git mirror is available from
<http://repo.or.cz/w/libidn.git>. If you have pulled from this
repository before this release, you need to erase your clone because
it has been re-generated from scratch.
** API and ABI is backwards compatible with the previous version.
* Version 0.6.13 (released 2007-05-31)
** Documentation fixes.
Clarify that the C# and Java libraries are licensed under the LGPL.
Earlier, some places incorrectly said that these were licensed under
the GPL. If you encounter other places that still suggest that GPL
applies to the C# and Java library, please let me know.
** Updated Polish and Vietnamese translations.
Thanks to Jakub Bogusz <qboosh@pld-linux.org> and Clytie Siddall
<clytie@riverland.net.au>.
** Install images for the manual in $infodir.
This fixes the broken image in the info manual. Image files will be
called libidn-*.png to avoid namespace collisions with images from
other info manuals.
** Update gnulib files.
** API and ABI is backwards compatible with the previous version.
* Version 0.6.12 (released 2007-04-25)
** Use AM_JAVACFLAGS instead of JAVACFLAGS in java/misc/Makefile.am.
Reported by Petteri Räty
** Update gnulib files.
** API and ABI is backwards compatible with the previous version.
* Version 0.6.11 (released 2007-03-13)
** Update of the C# Libidn port, by Alexander Gnauck.
The code has been refactored and the namespace has been modified to
comply with .NET naming conventions. An IDNA bug was fixed.
** Update gnulib files.
We now use the "striconv" module instead of the "iconvme", which
causes a slight increase of code size (from 303kb to 319kb with
debugging symbols on i386). The reason is the use of a new locale
independent strcasecmp, which may cause faster operation in some
locales where, e.g., "ASCII" and "ascii" are not treated as the same.
** API and ABI is backwards compatible with the previous version.
* Version 0.6.10 (released 2007-01-04)
** Corrected year in copyright notices.
** Update gnulib files.
Including the code to convert strings between different encodings
(noted in case this introduces problems).
** API and ABI is backwards compatible with the previous version.
* Version 0.6.9 (released 2006-11-30)
** The Java code is fixed to properly translate any non-ASCII dot into '.'.
Reported and fixed by "Stephane Mikaty" <mikaty@ecircle-ag.com>.
** Update gnulib files.
** Bump tool versions to autoconf 2.61, automake 1.10, and gettext 0.16.
** Old versions of iconv.m4, codeset.m4 and lib-link.m4 removed from m4/.
Modern versions are part of gnulib.
** API and ABI is backwards compatible with the previous version.
* Version 0.6.8 (released 2006-10-18)
** The gnulib directory is separated into two directories.
One gnulib directory (lib/gl/) for the LGPL library in lib/, and one
gnulib directory (gl/) for the GPL tools in src/. This allows the
GPL'd tools to use more gnulib modules than before, since earlier all
gnulib files had to be LGPL.
** Update gnulib files.
** Some minor cleanups, like assuming locale.h and setlocale().
** API and ABI is backwards compatible with the previous version.
* Version 0.6.7 (released 2006-09-13)
** Fix build failure of idn-int.h on C99 platforms.
Reported by Paul Howarth <paul@city-fan.org>.
** The manual includes the GPL license, for the command-line tools.
** The function, variable and concept index is moved to the end of the manual.
** Update gnulib files.
** API and ABI is backwards compatible with the previous version.
* Version 0.6.6 (released 2006-08-23)
** Instead of AX_CREATE_STDINT_H, use the stdint gnulib module, for idn-int.h.
This solves building on some HPPA systems. Note that the generated
idn-int.h is specific to the build environment that libidn was built
under, and is not generally usable by any other compiler (if any) on
the host. This was true before too.
** Update gnulib files.
** API and ABI is backwards compatible with the previous version.
