I am pleased to announce the availability of Libidn version 0.6.1! Noteworthy changes since version 0.6.0:
- Make it possible to cross-compile to mingw32. You can build Libidn for Windows by invoking `./configure --host=i586-mingw32msvc' (or similar). - Minor changes in how the C# code is built. - Update of gnulib files. Libidn is a modern C library to perform internationalized string processing based on the Stringprep, Punycode, Internationalizing Domain Names in Applications (IDNA) specifications. 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. Finally, the library can detect "problem sequences" that may trigger bugs in various NFKC implementations. 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. If you need help to use Libidn, or want to help others, you are invited to join our help-libidn mailing list, see: <http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-libidn>.
