[fontforge-users] Announcing - LibUniNamesList Version 20160701 (Unicode 9.0)

[Jose Da Silva]

LibUniNamesList is now updated to version 1.0 (from 0.5)
LibUniNamesList-fr is now updated to version 1.0 (from 0.4)

Features with this new update:
* Names and annotations are updated to Unicodes Version 9.0
This adds 7500 new characters, for a new total of 128,172 characters.
* LibUniNamesList-fr currently remains at Unicodes Version 7.0
* Thanks to @lemzwerg for differentiating and correcting library versions
Due to the significant change, plus having noted Fedora Debian and some
distros having a so-bump of 1, it seemed best to skip going to 0.6 and
go directly to version (CRA) 1.0.0 for both libraries. The library name
and package have also been shortened down from c.r.yyyymmdd to yyyymmdd


To download a *.tar.gz or *.zip copy, please go to:
https://github.com/fontforge/libuninameslist/releases



To build a copy, you will need to:
autoreconf -i
automake
./configure ( optional --enable-frenchlib )
make
sudo make install


The steps above will add or update your libuninameslist to version 1.0

Files installed are:
/usr/local/lib/libuninameslist.1.0.*
/usr/local/include/uninameslist.h

...if you choose "./configure --enable-frenchlib" then added files are:
/usr/local/lib/libuninameslist-fr.1.0.*
/usr/local/include/uninameslist-fr.h
(NOTE: no changes to this library, except for CRA version correction).

Thanks,
Joe

Hi all,

Very nice! For Python, I have been trying to get information on Unicode
codepoints extended. Perhaps this approach might also benefit
libuninameslist. For more information, see
https://bugs.python.org/issue6331 and https://bugs.python.org/issue16684

If someone who is into Python would like to have access to additional
information on Unicode codepoints, please try to get these two issues
moved further towards getting implement in a Python release.

Thanks,

Pander
