Libidn is a modern library to perform internationalized string processing based on the Stringprep, Punycode, Internationalizing Domain Names in Applications (IDNA) specifications. Libidn contains interfaces for C, Java, C# and Emacs Lisp.
Noteworthy changes since the last version: ** The gnulib directory is separated into two directories. One gnulib directory (lib/gl/) for the LGPL library in lib/, and one gnulib directory (gl/) for the GPL tools in src/. This allows the GPL'd tools to use more gnulib modules than before, since earlier all gnulib files had to be LGPL. ** Update gnulib files. ** Some minor cleanups, like assuming locale.h and setlocale(). ** API and ABI is backwards compatible with the previous version. 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. See http://josefsson.org/ for more details. All manual formats are available from: http://josefsson.org/libidn/manual/ Specifically, the following formats are available.
