Libidn 1.11

[Simon Josefsson]

* Version 1.11 (released 2008-10-28)

** libidn: New WARN_CFLAGS configure variable.
It is used internally to add -Werror and other warnings flags, to
catch coding mistakes before releases.

** Win32: Perl is no longer required to build Libidn in Visual Studio.

** Win32: Functions in idna.h are also exported.
Reported by Adam Strzelecki <address@hidden>.

** doc: Included cyclomatic code complexity charts of the library code.
See doc/cyclo/.

** tests: Add more self-tests to get more self-test code coverage.

** tests: New 'make coverage' command to generate code coverage reports.
The output is created in doc/coverage/.  Requires the LCOV tools.  See
http://www.gnu.org/software/libidn/coverage/ for a pre-generated copy.

** Clarify copyright and license for gdoc, man pages, and C# port.

** Update gnulib files and translations.

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

GNU Libidn is a fully documented implementation of the Stringprep,
Punycode and IDNA specifications.  Libidn's purpose is to encode and
decode internationalized domain names.  The native C, C# and Java
libraries are available under the GNU Lesser General Public License
version 2.1 or later.

The library contains a generic Stringprep implementation.  Profiles
for Nameprep, iSCSI, SASL, XMPP and Kerberos V5 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.

Libidn is developed for the GNU/Linux system, but runs on over 20 Unix
platforms (including Solaris, IRIX, AIX, and Tru64) and Windows.  The
library is written in C and (parts of) the API is also accessible from
C++, Emacs Lisp, Python and Java.  A native Java and C# port is
included.

Also included is a command line tool, several self tests, code
examples, and more, all licensed under the GNU General Public License
version 3.0 or later.

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.
