-Changelog
-
-2006-06-02:
-- initial release of version 0.1
-
-2006-06-05:
-- changed behaviour of PostgreSQL function to return NULL in case of
- invalid input, rather than raising an exceptional condition
-- improved efficiency of PostgreSQL function (no transformation to C string
- is done)
-
-2006-06-20:
-- added -fpic compiler flag in Makefile
-- fixed bug in the C code for the ruby library (usage of non-existent
- function)
-
-Release of version 0.2
-
-
-2006-07-18:
-- changed normalization from NFC to NFKC for postgresql unifold function
-
-2006-08-04:
-- added support to mark the beginning of a grapheme cluster with 0xFF
- (option: CHARBOUND)
-- added the ruby method String#chars, which is returning an array of UTF-8
- encoded grapheme clusters
-- added NLF2LF transformation in postgresql unifold function
-- added the DECOMPOSE option, if you neither use COMPOSE or DECOMPOSE, no
- normalization will be performed (different from previous versions)
-- using integer constants rather than C-strings for character properties
-- fixed (hopefully) a problem with the ruby library on Mac OS X, which
- occured when compiler optimization was switched on
-
-Release of version 0.3
-
-
-2006-09-17:
-- added the LUMP option, which lumps certain characters together
- (see lump.txt) (also used for the PostgreSQL "unifold" function)
-- added the STRIPMARK option, which strips marking characters
- (or marks of composed characters)
-- deprecated ruby method String#char_ary in favour of String#utf8chars
-
-Release of version 1.0
-
-
-2006-09-20:
-- included a gem file for the ruby version of the library
-
-Release of version 1.0.1

-
-2006-09-21:

-2006-12-26:
-- added support for PostgreSQL version 8.2
-
-Release of version 1.0.2
-
-
-2007-03-16:
-- Fixed a bug in the ruby library, which caused an error, when splitting an
- empty string at grapheme cluster boundaries (method String#utf8chars).
-
-Release of version 1.0.3
-
-
-2007-06-25:
-- Added a new PostgreSQL function 'unistrip', which behaves like 'unifold',
- but also removes all character marks (e.g. accents).
-
-2007-07-22:
-- Changed license from BSD to MIT style.
-- Added a new function 'utf8proc_codepoint_valid' to the C library.

- included in the distribution.
-
-Release of version 1.1.1
-
-
-2007-07-25:
