-New in 1.13:
-* The library and the iconv program now understand platform dependent aliases,
- for better compatibility with the platform's own iconv_open function.
- Examples: "646" on Solaris, "iso88591" on HP-UX, "IBM-1252" on AIX.
-* For stateful encodings, when the input ends with a shift sequence followed
- by invalid input, the iconv function now increments the input pointer past
- the shift sequence before returning (size_t)(-1) with errno = EILSEQ. This
- is also like GNU libc's iconv() behaves.
-* The library exports a new function iconv_open_into() that stores the
- conversion descriptor in pre-allocated memory, rather than allocating fresh
- memory for it.
-* Added CP1131 converter.
-
-New in 1.12:
-* The iconv program is now licensed under the GPL version 3, instead of the
- GPL version 2. The libiconv library continues to be licensed under LGPL.
-* Added RK1048 converter.
-* On AIX, an existing system libiconv no longer causes setlocale() to fail.
-* Upgraded EUC-KR, JOHAB to include the Korean postal code sign.
-
-New in 1.11:
-* The iconv program has new options --unicode-subst, --byte-subst,
- --widechar-subst that allow to specify substitutions for characters that
- cannot be converted.
-* The iconv program now understands long options:
- long option equivalent to
- --from-code -f
- --to-code -t
- --list -l
- --silent -s
-* The CP936 converter is now different from the GBK converter: it has changed
- to include the Euro sign and private area characters. CP936 is no longer an
- alias of GBK.
-* Updated GB18030 converter to include all private area characters.
-* Updated CP950 converter to include the Euro sign and private area characters.
-* Updated CP949 converter to include private area characters.
-* Updated the BIG5-HKSCS converter. The old BIG5-HKSCS converter is renamed to
- BIG5-HKSCS:1999 and updated to Unicode 4. New converters BIG5-HKSCS:2001 and
- BIG5-HKSCS:2004 are added. BIG5-HKSCS is now an alias for BIG5-HKSCS:2004.
-* Added a few irreversible mappings to the CP932 converter.
-* Tidy up the list of symbols exported from libiconv (assumes gcc >= 4.0).
-

- preloadable_libiconv.so.

- additional encodings; see the README for details.
-* Updated the ISO-8859-16 converter.
-* Upgraded BIG5-HKSCS, EUC-TW, ISO-2022-CN, ISO-2022-CN-EXT converters to
- Unicode 3.2.
-* Upgraded EUC-KR, CP949, JOHAB converters to include the Euro sign.
-* Changed the ARMSCII-8 converter.
-* Extended the EUC-JP encoder so that YEN SIGN characters don't cause failures
- in Shift_JIS to EUC-JP conversion.
-* The JAVA converter now handles characters outside the Unicode BMP correctly.
-* Fixed a bug in the CP1255, CP1258, TCVN decoders: The base characters of
- combining characters could be dropped at the end of the conversion buffer.
-* Fixed a bug in the transliteration that could lead to excessive memory
- allocations in libintl when transliteration was needed.
-* Portability to BSD/OS and SCO 3.2.5.
-
-New in 1.7:
-* Added UTF-32, UTF-32BE, UTF-32LE converters.

- converters to use fullwidth Yen sign instead of halfwidth Yen sign, and
- fullwidth tilde instead of halfwidth tilde.
-* Upgraded EUC-TW, ISO-2022-CN, ISO-2022-CN-EXT converters to Unicode 3.1.
