This is a stable release.
New in this release:
- The license has changed from "LGPLv3+ or GPLv2" to "LGPLv3+ or GPLv2+".
- The data tables and algorithms have been updated to Unicode version 14.0.0.
- The functions u8_uctomb, u16_uctomb, u32_uctomb now support strings larger than 2 GiB by taking an 'n' argument of type ptrdiff_t (instead of int).
- The functions u*_possible_linebreaks and u*_width_linebreaks now make it easier to work with strings that contain CR-LF sequences: In this case, in the returned array, it will return UC_BREAK_CR_BEFORE_LF followed by UC_BREAK_MANDATORY (instead of twice UC_BREAK_MANDATORY).
- There are new properties for recognizing pictographic symbols and regional indicators:
- UC_PROPERTY_EMOJI uc_is_property_emoji
- UC_PROPERTY_EMOJI_PRESENTATION uc_is_property_emoji_presentation
- UC_PROPERTY_EMOJI_MODIFIER uc_is_property_emoji_modifier
- UC_PROPERTY_EMOJI_MODIFIER_BASE uc_is_property_emoji_modifier_base
- UC_PROPERTY_EMOJI_COMPONENT uc_is_property_emoji_component
- UC_PROPERTY_EXTENDED_PICTOGRAPHIC uc_is_property_extended_pictographic
- UC_PROPERTY_REGIONAL_INDICATOR uc_is_property_regional_indicator
- Fixed multithread-safety bugs on Cygwin, native Windows, and Haiku.
