  • Various build and portability improvements.

Version 2.6.1

2020-12-15

  • Bugfix in utf8proc_grapheme_break_stateful for NULL state argument, which also broke utf8proc_grapheme_break.

2019-03-27

  • Unicode 13 support (#179).

  • No longer report zero width for category Sk (#167).

  • cmake support improvements (#173).

Version 2.4

2019-05-10

  • Unicode 12.1 support (#156).

  • New -DUTF8PROC_INSTALL=No option for cmake builds to disable installation (#152).

  • Better make support for HP-UX (#154).

  • Fixed incorrect UTF8PROC_VERSION_MINOR version number in header and bumped shared-library version.

Version 2.3

2019-03-30

  • Unicode 12 support (#148).

  • New function utf8proc_unicode_version to return the supported Unicode version (#151).

  • Simpler character-width computation that no longer uses GNU Unifont metrics: East-Asian wide characters have width 2, and all other printable characters have width 1 (#150).

  • Fix CHARBOUND option for utf8proc_map to preserve U+FFFE and U+FFFF non-characters (#149).

  • Various build-system improvements (#141, #142, #147).

Version 2.2

2018-07-24

  • Unicode 11 support (#132 and #140).

  • utf8proc_NFKC_Casefold convenience function for NFKC_Casefold normalization (#133).

  • UTF8PROC_STRIPNA option to strip unassigned codepoints (#133).

  • cmake fix to avoid defining UTF8PROC_EXPORTS globally (#121).

  • toupper of ß (U+00df) now yields ẞ (U+1E9E) (#134), similar to musl; case-folding still yields the standard "ss" mapping.

Version 2.1.1

2018-04-27

Version 2.1

2016-12-26:

  • New functions utf8proc_map_custom and utf8proc_decompose_custom to allow user-supplied transformations of codepoints, in conjunction with other transformations (#89).

  • New function utf8proc_normalize_utf32 to apply normalizations directly to UTF-32 data (not just UTF-8) (#88).

  • Fixed stack overflow that could occur due to incorrect definition of UINT16_MAX with some compilers (#84).

  • Fixed conflict with stdbool.h in Visual Studio (#90).

  • Updated font metrics to use Unifont 9.0.04.

Version 2.0.2

2016-07-27:

  • Move -Wmissing-prototypes warning flag from Makefile to .travis.yml since MSVC does not understand this flag and it is occasionally useful to build using MSVC through the Makefile (#79).

  • Use a different variable name for a nested loop in bench/bench.c, and declare it in a C89 way rather than inside the for to avoid "error: 'for' loop initial declarations are only allowed in C99 mode" (#80).

Version 2.0.1

2016-07-13:

  • Bug fix in utf8proc_grapheme_break_stateful (#77).

  • Tests now use versioned Unicode files, so they will no longer break when a new version of Unicode is released (#78).

Version 2.0

2016-07-13:

  • Updated for Unicode 9.0 (#70).

  • New utf8proc_grapheme_break_stateful to handle the complicated grapheme-breaking rules in Unicode 9. The old utf8proc_grapheme_break is still provided, but may incorrectly identify grapheme breaks in some Unicode-9 sequences.

  • Smaller Unicode tables (#62, #68). This required changes in the utf8proc_property_t structure, which breaks backward compatibility if you access this struct directly. The functions in the API remain backward-compatible, however.

  • Buffer overrun fix (#66).

Version 1.3.1

2015-11-02:

  • Do not export symbol for internal function unsafe_encode_char() (#55).

  • Install relative symbolic links for shared libraries (#58).

  • Enable and fix compiler warnings (#55, #58).

  • Add missing files to make clean (#58).

Version 1.3

2015-07-06:

  • Updated for Unicode 8.0 (#45).

  • New utf8proc_tolower and utf8proc_toupper functions, portable replacements for towlower and towupper in the C library (#40).

  • Don't treat Unicode "non-characters" as invalid, and improved validity checking in general (#35).

  • Prefix all typedefs with utf8proc_, e.g. utf8proc_int32_t, to avoid collisions with other libraries (#32).

  • Rename DLLEXPORT to UTF8PROC_DLLEXPORT to prevent collisions.

  • Fix build breakage in the benchmark routines.

  • More fine-grained Makefile variables (PICFLAG etcetera), so that compilation flags can be selectively overridden, and in particular so that CFLAGS can be changed without accidentally eliminating necessary flags like -fPIC and -std=c99 (#43).

  • Updated character-width tables based on Unifont 8.0.01 (#51) and the Unicode 8 character categories (#47).

Version 1.2

2015-03-28:

  • Updated for Unicode 7.0 (#6).

  • New function utf8proc_grapheme_break(c1,c2) that returns whether there is a grapheme break between c1 and c2 (#20).

  • New function utf8proc_charwidth(c) that returns the number of column-positions that should be required for c; essentially a portable replacment for wcwidth(c) (#27).

  • New function utf8proc_category(c) that returns the Unicode category of c (as one of the constants UTF8PROC_CATEGORY_xx). Also, a function utf8proc_category_string(c) that returns the Unicode category of c as a two-character string.

  • cmake script CMakeLists.txt, in addition to Makefile, for easier compilation on Windows (#28).

  • Various Makefile improvements: a make check target to perform tests (#13), make install, a rule to automate updating the Unicode tables, etcetera.

  • The shared library is now versioned (e.g. has a soname on GNU/Linux) (#24).

  • C++/MSVC compatibility (#17).

  • Most #defined constants are now enums (#29).

  • New preprocessor constants UTF8PROC_VERSION_MAJOR, UTF8PROC_VERSION_MINOR, and UTF8PROC_VERSION_PATCH for compile-time detection of the API version.

  • Doxygen-formatted documentation (#29).

  • The Ruby and PostgreSQL plugins have been removed due to lack of testing (#22).
