The following packages have been upgraded in the Cygwin distribution: * libidn 1.42 * libidn-doc 1.42 * libidn-devel 1.42 * libidn12 1.42 * mingw64-x86_64-libidn 1.42
Encode and decode Internationalized Domain Names implementing IETF IDN WG Stringprep, Punycode and IDNA specifications. Mingw packages provide MS VC RT-linked binaries, NOT Cygwin binaries, for use with the mingw64-x86_64 gcc cross compiler, installed in /usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/{bin,lib,include}/. For more information see the project home page: https://www.gnu.org/software/libidn/ https://sv.gnu.org/projects/libidn/ or the repo README: https://gitlab.com/libidn/libidn Please see below or read /usr/share/doc/libidn/NEWS after installation for details of changes since the previous Cygwin release: https://gitlab.com/libidn/libidn/-/blob/master/NEWS 1.42 2024-01-13 - 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. -- *** CYGWIN-ANNOUNCE UNSUBSCRIBE INFO *** The easiest way to unsubscribe is to visit <https://cygwin.com/mailman/options/cygwin-announce>, and click 'Unsubscribe'.
