Libidn is an implementation of the Stringprep, Punycode and IDNA
specifications defined by the IETF Internationalized Domain Names
(IDN) working group, used for internationalized domain names.  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.

Noteworthy changes since version 0.5.0 (the last version announced here):

* Version 0.5.5 (released 2004-09-13)

** Hide accidentally exported variable g_utf8_skip, by marking it as static.

** Various fixes.

** API and ABI is backwards compatible with the previous version.
g_utf8_skip: REMOVED.  (But never meant to be used.)

* Version 0.5.4 (released 2004-08-08)

** Translation updates.

** API and ABI is backwards compatible with the previous version.

* Version 0.5.3 (released 2004-08-05)

** Fix crash in `idn --tld' command line tool.

** API and ABI is backwards compatible with the previous version.

* Version 0.5.2 (released 2004-07-14)

** Java "make install" rules are now DESTDIR compatible.

** API and ABI is backwards compatible with the previous version.

* Version 0.5.1 (released 2004-07-09)

** Cross compile builds should work.
It should work for any sane cross compile target, but the only tested
platform is uClibc/uClinux on Motorola Coldfire.

** The example programs now correctly invoke `setlocale (LC_ALL, "")'.

** API and ABI is backwards compatible with the previous version.
