Libidn 1.0


From: Simon Josefsson
Subject: Libidn 1.0
Date: Tue, 31 Jul 2007 15:03:52 +0200
User-agent: Gnus/5.110007 (No Gnus v0.7) Emacs/22.1 (gnu/linux)

I hereby proudly release version 1.0 of GNU Libidn!

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.

* 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.

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:

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.  Simon Josefsson Datakonsult, a Stockholm
based privately held company, is currently funding Libidn maintenance.
We are always looking for interesting development projects.  See
