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}/.

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.
