Branch: CURRENT, Version: 1.42, Package name: libidn-1.42, Maintainer: pkgsrc-users

GNU Libidn is an implementation of the Stringprep, Punycode, and IDNA
specifications defined by the IETF Internationalized Domain Names (IDN)
working group. It is used to prepare internationalized strings (such as
domain name labels, usernames, and passwords) in order to increase the
likelihood that string input and string comparison work in ways that make
sense for typical users throughout the world.

The library contains a generic Stringprep implementation that does Unicode
3.2 NFKC normalization, mapping and prohibition of characters, and
bidirectional character handling. Profiles for iSCSI, Kerberos 5, Nameprep,
SASL, and XMPP are included. Punycode and ASCII Compatible Encoding (ACE) via
IDNA are supported.

Log message:
libidn: update to 1.42.

* Noteworthy changes in release 1.42 (2024-01-13) [stable]

** Bump required gettext version to 0.19.8 for musl-libc.

** Compiler warning improvements.
As before, compiler warnings are enabled by default.  You may disable
them using ./configure --disable-gcc-warnings or turn them into fatal
errors using ./configure --enable-gcc-warnings=error to add -Werror
and sensible -Wno-error='s.  Based on gnulib's manywarnings, see
<https://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib//manual/html_node/manywarnings.html>.

** Fix type confusion on LLP64/Windows platforms.
While libidn has worked using cygwin libc, it has never worked on
ucrt/msvcrt libc.  Report and tiny patch by Francesco Pretto in
<https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-libidn/2022-02/msg00000.html>.

** tests: Added script tests/standalone.sh suitable for integrators.
The main purpose is to test a system-installed libidn, suitable for
distributor checking (a'la Debian's autopkgtest/debci).  It may also
be used to test a newly built libidn outside the usual 'make check'
infrastructure.  To check that your system libidn is working, invoke
the script with `srcdir` as an environment variable indicating where
it can be find the source code for libidn's tests/ directory (it will
use the directory name where the script is by default):

tests/standalone.sh

To check that a newly built static libidn behaves, invoke:

env STANDALONE_CFLAGS="-Ilib lib/.libs/libidn.a" tests/standalone.sh

To check that a newly built shared libidn behaves, invoke:

env srcdir=tests STANDALONE_CFLAGS="-Ilib -Wl,-rpath lib/.libs \ 
lib/.libs/libidn.so" tests/standalone.sh

If the libidn under testing is too old and has known bugs, that should
cause tests to fail, which is intentional.

** Updated translations.

** Update gnulib files and build fixes.

Log message:
libidn: update to 1.41.

* Noteworthy changes in release 1.41 (2022-06-25) [stable]

** Bump LT_REVISION for new release.
It was mistakenly left at the same value since 1.38.

** Add version number related self-checks.

Log message:
libidn: update to 1.40.

* Noteworthy changes in release 1.40 (2022-06-20) [stable]

** lib: Bump STRINGPREP_VERSION to 1.40.
It was mistakenly left at 1.38 in the 1.39 release.

* Noteworthy changes in release 1.39 (2022-06-20) [stable]

** lib: Code detecting current locale broken since 1.36.
The code always returned ASCII.  The precise cause is complicated to
track down but likely boils down to the new autotools/gettext
bootstrapping sequence introduced in release 1.36.  Reported by Богдан
Пилипенко <bogdan.pylypenko107@gmail.com>.

** maint: Java JAR archive no longer included in source tarball.

** Minor fixes: typos, makefiles, indentation, gnulib update, etc.
