New in 1.17:
|
|
* The libiconv library is now licensed under the LGPL version 2.1, instead of
|
|
the LGPL version 2.0. The iconv program continues to be licensed under GPL
|
|
version 3.
|
|
* Added converters for many single-byte EBCDIC encodings:
|
|
IBM-{037,273,277,278,280,282,284,285,297,423,424,425,500,838,870,871,875},
|
|
IBM-{880,905,924,1025,1026,1047,1097,1112,1122,1123,1130,1132,1137,1140},
|
|
IBM-{1141,1142,1143,1144,1145,1146,1147,1148,1149,1153,1154,1155,1156,1157},
|
|
IBM-{1158,1160,1164,1165,1166,4971,12712,16804}.
|
|
They are available through the configure option '--enable-extra-encodings'.
|
|
|
|
New in 1.16:
|
|
* The preloadable library has been removed.
|
|
|
|
New in 1.15:
|
|
* The UTF-8 converter now rejects surrogates and out-of-range code points.
|
|
* Added ISO-2022-JP-MS converter.
|
|
* Updated the CP1255 converter to map one more character.
|
|
* The functions now support strings longer than 2 GB.
|
|
|
|
New in 1.14:
|
|
* The 'iconv' program now produces its output as soon as it can. It no longer
|
|
unnecessarily waits for more input.
|
|
* Updated the GB18030 converter to map 25 characters to code points that have
|
|
been to Unicode since 2000, rather than to code points in the Private Use
|
|
Area.
|
|
* Updated the BIG5-HKSCS converter. The old BIG5-HKSCS converter is renamed to
|
|
BIG5-HKSCS:2004. A new converter BIG5-HKSCS:2008 is added. BIG5-HKSCS is now
|
|
an alias for BIG5-HKSCS:2008.
|
|
* Fixed a bug in the conversion to wchar_t.
|
|
* Fixed a small bug in the CP1258 converter.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
* Updated the BIG5-HKSCS converter. The old BIG5-HKSCS converter is renamed to
|
|
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.
|
|
|
