Hi
New versions of 'libidn/libidn11/libidn-devel' have been uploaded to a server near you.
Cygwin NEWS:
============
o Update to latest upstream release
libidn NEWS:
===============
* 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 AT gknw DOT 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.
* 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 AT opencsw DOT org> in
<http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.libidn.general/192>.
** API and ABI is backwards compatible with the previous version.
* 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 DOT rehsack AT bayerbbs DOT com.
** doc: The idn_free function is now documented.
Suggested by "Sisyphus" <sisyphus1 AT optusnet DOT com DOT 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.
** API and ABI is backwards compatible with the previous version.
* 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 DOT strzelecki AT java DOT 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 AT inch DOT 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.
