The beta directory for the Unicode 3.0.1 update has been
refreshed. Several new data files have been added, and several
old ones have been corrected.
Go to:
http://www.unicode.org/Public/3.0-Update1/
This link is available from the 3.0.1 Beta Files link on the

These are temporary names. Once the beta review closes, the "beta" and
the delta number on the files will be dropped for the permanent
versioned filename, and the latest versions of the files will
be copied into the UNIDATA directory minus the version extension.
Comparable changes will be made in the ftp hierarchy as well, as
soon as regular ftp service can be restored on the server.
Please note that the beta review is scheduled to close on
*** August 25 ***
at which point all data files will be frozen for
the Unicode 3.0.1 update. Any revisions after that date will
be queued for the following update (or minor version release,
whichever comes first).

New changes in the data files since the July 31 drop are as
follows:

Added header section with information about the file and
its format.
BidiMirroring.txt
This is a new data file, now included in the Unicode Character
Database by UTC mandate.
Jamo.txt
Dropped "U+" from code values, for consistency with other
data files. Removed semicolon before name comments, for
consistency with other data files. Added header section with
information about the file and its format. (There were no
*technical* changes to the file's contents, but you may need
to check your parsers if you are parsing this file.)

This is a new data file, now included in the Unicode Character
Database by UTC mandate. This file contains many test cases
to check conformance to UAX #15 Unicode Normalization Forms.
