2024-02-05 01:45:31.502927
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name        : mingw-libidn2
Product     : Fedora 38
Version     : 2.3.7
Release     : 1.fc38
URL         : https://www.gnu.org/software/libidn/#libidn2
Summary     : MinGW Windows Internationalized Domain Name 2008 support library
Description :
Libidn2 is an implementation of the IDNA2008 specifications in RFC
5890, 5891, 5892, 5893 and TR46 for internationalized domain names
(IDN). It is a standalone library, without any dependency on libidn.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

# libidn2 2.3.7 (2024-01-27)    - Really include `tests/standalone.sh` in
tarball.  # libidn2 2.3.6 (2024-01-27)    - Bump libtool version numbers to
reflect API/ABI addition.    - Include `tests/standalone.sh` in tarball.  #
libidn2 2.3.5 (2024-01-27)    - Declaration of future API/ABI backwards
compatibility stability.      GNU libc `dlopen` libidn2 and use the name
`libidn2.so.0` for this.  Upstream believes that it will be too challenging to
ever do hard ABI break that for normal libraries is justified to remove
deprecated APIs.  Thus upstream decided that they will support the current ABI
for a long time.  Of course, if really convincing arguments for doing a ABI
break appears in the future upstream may re-consider, but take this as a
declaration of intent of will and that future ABI breaks should be discussed and
co-ordinated with the glibc team first.    - Add public APIs for raw Punycode
encoding/decoding.      Normal applications rarely need this, but it cleans up
the code and allow for external testing of the APIs, and resolve
https://gitlab.com/libidn/libidn2/-/issues/80 due to earlier use of weak symbols
for internal symbols `_idn2_punycode_encode` and `_idn2_punycode_decode`.
Upstream will support these internal symbols for backwards compatibility.  This
allows a clean migration path for code that is still using the internal names.
- Bump required gettext version to 0.19.8 for musl-libc.    - Un-deprecate
`idn2_to_ascii_4i` and make it `NUL` terminate output.      The API
`idn2_to_ascii_4i` was deprecated in version 2.1.1 released in 2019-02-08.  In
that release, the API was also modified to not `NUL`-terminate the output.  That
is contrary to the old libidn2 behaviour, the behaviour of libidn's API
`idna_to_ascii_4i`, and the API documentation for the function.  Since upstream
is not likely to ever break backwards API/ABI compatibility in libidn2, and the
deprecated gaurds leads to some trouble (see report in
https://gitlab.com/libidn/libidn2/-/merge_requests/93 upstream decided to un-
deprecate this function, as supporting it is not costly and the majority of code
that cares about conformance has likely been modified.  This will fix the error
code and `NUL` termination report in
https://gitlab.com/libidn/libidn2/-/issues/100.  Upstream still encourage you to
use the replacement API/ABI idn2_to_ascii_4i2 instead, when appropriate.    -
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.    -
tests: Added script `tests/standalone.sh` suitable for integrators.      The
main purpose is to test a system-installed libidn2 library and `idn2` tool,
suitable for distributor checking (a'la Debian's autopkgtest/debci).  It may
also be used to test a newly built libidn2 outside the usual `make check`
infrastructure.  To check that your system libidn2 library and `idn2` tool is
working, invoke the script with `srcdir` as an environment variable indicating
where it can be find the source code for libidn2's `tests/` directory (it will
use the directory name where the script is by default): `tests/standalone.sh`
If your system libidn2 is too old to pass certain tests, disable them using
`STANDALONE_DISABLE` like this: `STANDALONE_DISABLE='*punycode*'
tests/standalone.sh`      See the script for more parameters.  If the libidn2
under testing is too old and has known bugs, that should cause tests to fail,
which is intentional.    - Various minor build fixes and translation updates.
- API and ABI is backwards compatible with the previous version.
`idn2_punycode_decode`: Add.      `idn2_punycode_encode`: Add.
