Dear maintainer,

there is a new upstream release available, cf.
<https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libunistring/>. Its NEWS read:

| New in 1.0:
| * 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.

Please update the package when you think it is due time.

Cheers,
Flo
