Version 3.7.14 ============== + No user-visible changes; minor clean-ups as part of the Debian packaging process. Version 3.7.13 ============== + Fix request diagnostics with --verbose: avoid output of confusing and possibly incorrect diagnostics. + Fix a file descriptor leak. Version 3.7.12 ============== + Simplify support for ignoring invalid input with iconv, integrated with the --strict and --force mechanisms. + Various documentation improvements. Version 3.7.11 ============== + Re-add support for transliteration with iconv (removed in 3.7). + Add support for ignoring invalid input with iconv. + Fix a bug introduced in 3.7.10 that prevented building the code. Version 3.7.10 ============== + In recode program, only use iconv if needed; add --prefer-iconv option to allow its use in all cases. + Remove support for pre-3.5 request syntax (colon as charset separator). + PO files have been updated from the Translation Project. + Build system fixes and improvements. + Update gnulib to fix a problem building on Android. + Fix confusingly wrong NEWS entry for 3.7.4. Version 3.7.9 ============= + A fix to the CP1252 encoding: U+017E LATIN SMALL LETTER Z WITH CARON is at byte 0x9e, not byte 0x8f. + Minor documentation fixes. Version 3.7.8 ============= + Improvements to the build system. + Fix man page generation, and document that help2man must be built with gettext. + Updates to nl, pt, sv translations (thanks, translators!). Version 3.7.7 ============= + Improvements to the build system. + Updates to nl, pt, sv translations (thanks, translators!). Version 3.7.6 ============= + Improvements to the build system. Version 3.7.5 ============= + Port tests to Python 3. Version 3.7.4 ============= + Fixes to file handling in recode program. + Fix tests on Windows. Version 3.7.3 ============= + No code changes to recode itself; this release features a properly versioned shared library. Version 3.7.2 ============= + No code changes to recode itself; this release includes updates to license headers to guide users to the GPL online, corrects the version of COPYING-LIB shipped with the sources, and updates the message files for various languages. Version 3.7.1 ============= + No code changes to recode itself; this release just updates the version of gnulib to fix a bug in glibc 2.28: (GitHub issue #11 rrthomas/recode#11 Version 3.7 =========== + Converters for BibTeX (from Vincent Danjean) and the ANSEL and ISO 5426 character sets (from Wolfram Schneider) have been added. + The conversion strategies (whether to use pipes, memory or files) are no longer available. Now it is reasonable to assume virtual memory, so files and memory have similar performance characteristics (in particular, the memory method is not limited by physical memory.) Further, tests showed that even for runs on little data, the pipes method has minimal performance impact (none was measured). This is not a surprise, as for one-step recodings, the commonest case, no forking is needed. The command-line options -i, -p and --sequence=STRATEGY are ignored for backwards compatibility. + Recode does not include libiconv anymore, but uses an external iconv library if one was available at installation time. The -x: option to the program, or a new flag to the library recode_new_outer function, inhibits the initialisation and usage of iconv. + The experimental ``tree`` surface is removed. Structured data needs a proper parser, and that doesn't fit the framework of Recode. + Many bug fixes. + Long ago, I renamed GNU recode to Free recode: the permission for using the GNU prefix mandated a level of obedience to the FSF that once went overboard, in my opinion. After that change, I realized that some people read Free as a four letter word! To be peaceful, this version changes the name again, to merely Recode. recode (no capital) still names the executable program specifically, or the distribution archive itself. + make check accepts a LIMIT= option, for limiting tests to one or a few cases. See tests/Makefile.am. + PO files have been updated from the Translation Project. + The test system has been overhauled. Tests now run much faster, and require Python and Cython. + Overhauled build system, now using gnulib for portability. This reduces the amount of code in the Recode tree considerably.
