[[ compiled using gcc-3.4.4-999 ]] This will most likely be the final libiconv update for the cygwin-1.5 distribution; future development will continue with libiconv-1.13-10 for cygwin-1.7. Changes since libiconv-1.12-1 ======================================== * update to latest upstream release (see upstream release notes, below) -- Charles Wilson volunteer libiconv maintainer for cygwin ==================================================================== To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page.

Upstream Release Notes for 1.13 =============================== * The library and the iconv program now understand platform dependent aliases, for better compatibility with the platform's own iconv_open function. Examples: "646" on Solaris, "iso88591" on HP-UX, "IBM-1252" on AIX. * For stateful encodings, when the input ends with a shift sequence followed by invalid input, the iconv function now increments the input pointer past the shift sequence before returning (size_t)(-1) with errno = EILSEQ. This is also like GNU libc's iconv() behaves. * The library exports a new function iconv_open_into() that stores the conversion descriptor in pre-allocated memory, rather than allocating fresh memory for it. * Added CP1131 converter.
