5c526acb82c882e41b655c31f5fa4425c87b671cMark Andrews As this feature is added, initialization function and some behavior
5c526acb82c882e41b655c31f5fa4425c87b671cMark Andrews of top level API are changed.

5c526acb82c882e41b655c31f5fa4425c87b671cMark AndrewsMajor changes in idnkit version 1.0-beta1:
5c526acb82c882e41b655c31f5fa4425c87b671cMark Andrews* mDNkit has been renamed idnkit.
5c526acb82c882e41b655c31f5fa4425c87b671cMark Andrews This means all symbols with "mdn" are renamed with "idn". For
5c526acb82c882e41b655c31f5fa4425c87b671cMark Andrews example, a function `mdn_encodename()' is now `idn_encodename()', an
5c526acb82c882e41b655c31f5fa4425c87b671cMark Andrews environment variable "MDN_DISABLE" is "IDN_DISABLE", system
5c526acb82c882e41b655c31f5fa4425c87b671cMark Andrews configuretion file is "idn.conf", `runmdn' command is `runidn', and

5c526acb82c882e41b655c31f5fa4425c87b671cMark Andrews If you want to install it, set "yes" to `--enable-runidn' option
5c526acb82c882e41b655c31f5fa4425c87b671cMark Andrews when you run configure script.
5c526acb82c882e41b655c31f5fa4425c87b671cMark Andrews* idnkitlite library only instalation is supported.
5c526acb82c882e41b655c31f5fa4425c87b671cMark Andrews Set "yes" to `--enable-liteonly' option at execution of configure
5c526acb82c882e41b655c31f5fa4425c87b671cMark Andrews script to use this feature.
5c526acb82c882e41b655c31f5fa4425c87b671cMark Andrews* BIND-9.1.3 patch has been removed.
5c526acb82c882e41b655c31f5fa4425c87b671cMark Andrews* User configuration file is supported.
5c526acb82c882e41b655c31f5fa4425c87b671cMark Andrews idnkit now uses ".idnrc" in user's home directory for configuration
5c526acb82c882e41b655c31f5fa4425c87b671cMark Andrews of whole scheme. If there is no user configuration file, then it
5c526acb82c882e41b655c31f5fa4425c87b671cMark Andrews tries to load the system configuration file "idn.conf".
5c526acb82c882e41b655c31f5fa4425c87b671cMark Andrews* idnkit is now able to run without configuration file.
5c526acb82c882e41b655c31f5fa4425c87b671cMark Andrews If there are no configuration files (both of user's and system's),
5c526acb82c882e41b655c31f5fa4425c87b671cMark Andrews it sets normal configurations (the latest nameprep scheme it
5c526acb82c882e41b655c31f5fa4425c87b671cMark Andrews supports and the IDN encoding "Punycode") automatically at runtime.
5c526acb82c882e41b655c31f5fa4425c87b671cMark Andrews* Encoding alias information file is supported. (by generic libidnkit)
5c526acb82c882e41b655c31f5fa4425c87b671cMark Andrews Its name is "idnalias.conf" by default and it should be located in
5c526acb82c882e41b655c31f5fa4425c87b671cMark Andrews same directory where the system configuration file is. Example
5c526acb82c882e41b655c31f5fa4425c87b671cMark Andrews alias information file "idnalias.conf.sample" is installed
5c526acb82c882e41b655c31f5fa4425c87b671cMark Andrews automatically.
5c526acb82c882e41b655c31f5fa4425c87b671cMark Andrews* APIs are renewed. See manpage.
