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.
|
|

|
|
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.

|
|
preloadable_libiconv.so.
|
|
* Portability to mingw.
|

|
|
* Fixed a bug in the transliteration that could lead to excessive memory
|
|
allocations in libintl when transliteration was needed.
