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). + +New in 1.10: +* Added ISO-8859-11 converter. +* Updated the ISO-8859-7 converter. +* Added ATARIST converter, available through --enable-extra-encodings. +* Added BIG5-2003 converter (experimental), available through + --enable-extra-encodings. +* Updated EUC-TW converter to include the Euro sign. +* The preloadable library has been renamed from libiconv_plug.so to + preloadable_libiconv.so. +* Portability to mingw. + +New in 1.9: +* Many more transliterations. +* New configuration option --enable-relocatable. See the INSTALL.generic file + for details. + +New in 1.8: +* The iconv program has new options -l, -c, -s. +* The iconv program is internationalized. +* Added C99 converter. +* Added KOI8-T converter. +* New configuration option --enable-extra-encodings that enables a bunch of + 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. +* Changed CP1255, CP1258 and TCVN converters to handle combining characters. +* Changed EUC-JP, SHIFT_JIS, CP932, ISO-2022-JP, ISO-2022-JP-2, ISO-2022-JP-1 + 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. +* Changed the GB18030 converter to not reject unassigned and private-use + Unicode characters. +* Fixed a bug in the byte order mark treatment of the UCS-4 decoder. +* The manual pages are now distributed also in HTML format. + +New in 1.6: +* The iconv program's -f and -t options are now optional. +* Many more transliterations. +* Added CP862 converter. +* Changed the GB18030 converter. +* Portability to DOS with DJGPP. + +New in 1.5: +* Added an iconv(1) program. +* New locale dependent encodings "char", "wchar_t". +* Transliteration is now off by default. Use a //TRANSLIT suffix to enable it. +* The JOHAB encoding is documented again. +* Changed a few mappings in the CP950 converter. + +New in 1.4: +* Added GB18030, BIG5HKSCS converters. +* Portability to OS/2 with emx+gcc. + +New in 1.3: +* Added UCS-2BE, UCS-2LE, UCS-4BE, UCS-4LE converters. +* Fixed the definition of EILSEQ on SunOS4. +* Fixed a build problem on OSF/1. +* Support for building as a shared library on Woe32. + +New in 1.2: +* Added UTF-16BE and UTF-16LE converters. +* Changed the UTF-16 encoder. +* Fixed the treatment of tab characters in the UTF-7 converter. +* Fixed an internal error when output buffer was not large enough. + +New in 1.1: +* Added ISO-8859-16 converter. +* Added CP932 converter, a variant of SHIFT_JIS. +* Added CP949 converter, a variant of EUC-KR. +* Improved the ISO-2022-CN-EXT converter: It now covers the ISO-IR-165 range. +* Updated the ISO-8859-8 conversion table. +* The JOHAB encoding is deprecated and not documented any more. +* Fixed two build problems: 1. "make -n check" failed. 2. When libiconv was + already installed, "make" failed. + +New in 1.0: +* Added transliteration facilities. +* Added a test suite. +* Fixed the iconv(3) manual page and function: the return value was not + described correctly. +* Fixed a bug in the CP1258 decoder: invalid bytes now yield EILSEQ instead of + U+FFFD. +* Fixed a bug in the Georgian-PS encoder: accept U+00E6. +* Fixed a bug in the EUC-JP encoder: reject 0x8E5C and 0x8E7E. +* Fixed a bug in the KSC5601 and JOHAB converters: they recognized some Hangul + characters at some invalid code positions. +* Fixed a bug in the EUC-TW decoder; it was severely broken. +* Fixed a bug in the CP950 converter: it recognized a dubious BIG5 range. + +New in 0.3: +* Reduced the size of the tables needed for the JOHAB converter. +* Portability to Woe32. + +New in 0.2: +* Added KOI8-RU, CP850, CP866, CP874, CP950, ISO-2022-CN-EXT, GBK and + ISO-2022-JP-1 converters. +* Added MACINTOSH as an alias for MAC-ROMAN. +* Added ASMO-708 as an alias for ISO-8859-6. +* Added ELOT_928 as an alias for ISO-8859-7. +* Improved the EUC-TW converter: Treat CNS 11643 plane 3. +* Improved the ISO-2022-KR and EUC-KR converters: Hangul characters are + decomposed into Jamo when needed. +* Improved the CP932 converter. +* Updated the CP1133, MULELAO-1 and ARMSCII-8 mappings. +* The EUC-JP and SHIFT_JIS converters now cover the user-defined range. +* Fixed a possible buffer overrun in the JOHAB converter. +* Fixed a bug in the UTF-7, ISO-2022-*, HZ decoders: a shift sequence a the + end of the input no longer gives an error. +* The HZ encoder now always terminates its output in the ASCII state. +* Use a perfect hash table for looking up the aliases. + +New in 0.1: +* Portability to Linux/glibc-2.0.x, Linux/libc5, OSF/1, FreeBSD. +* Fixed a bug in the EUC-JP decoder.
