[Simon Josefsson]

We are happy to announce the release 1.40 of GNU Libidn!

GNU Libidn is a fully documented implementation of the Stringprep,
Punycode and IDNA2003 specifications.  Libidn's purpose is to encode and
decode internationalized domain name strings.  There are native C, C#
and Java libraries.

Here are the SHA1 and SHA256 checksums:

Un9nO4BD1xicBW3UeLB6+CSS7PEYqj4O8NyYwRr3mZE  libidn-1.40.tar.gz

The SHA256 checksum is base64 encoded, instead of the
hexadecimal encoding that most checksum tools default to.

[*] Use a .sig file to verify that the corresponding file (without the
.sig suffix) is intact.  First, be sure to download both the .sig file
and the corresponding tarball.  Then, run a command like this:

  gpg --verify libidn-1.40.tar.gz.sig

If that command fails because you don't have the required public key,
or that public key has expired, try the following commands to update
or refresh it, and then rerun the 'gpg --verify' command.

  gpg --locate-external-key simon@josefsson.org

NEWS

* Noteworthy changes in release 1.40 (2022-06-20) [stable]

** lib: Bump STRINGPREP_VERSION to 1.40.
It was mistakenly left at 1.38 in the 1.39 release.

* Noteworthy changes in release 1.39 (2022-06-20) [stable]

** lib: Code detecting current locale broken since 1.36.
The code always returned ASCII.  The precise cause is complicated to
track down but likely boils down to the new autotools/gettext
bootstrapping sequence introduced in release 1.36.  Reported by Богдан
Пилипенко <bogdan.pylypenko107@gmail.com>.

** maint: Java JAR archive no longer included in source tarball.

** Minor fixes: typos, makefiles, indentation, gnulib update, etc.
