Dear fellow hackers,
I'm pleased to announce version 2.0.0 of libgrapheme[0][1], a library
for Unicode string handling.
This version adds
- word segmentation
- sentence segmentation
- detection of permissible line break opportunities
- case detection
- case conversion
and has been heavily refactored for correctness and conformance. The
library now is freestanding (i.e. not dependant on a standard
library), which allows you to link it into pretty much anything.
There has been a small API-change: grapheme_next_character_break() has
been renamed to grapheme_next_character_break_utf8() and GRAPHEME_STATE
has been dropped in favor of an explicit uint_least16_t-state-variable
for the single function it's being used with. Changing code should be
quick and simple.
I have made the decision to adopt the semantic versioning scheme[2].
While it is not perfect, it gives the version number more semantic
meaning, and in its spirit, I bumped the major version given there's
been a breaking API change, but I don't expect many major version bumps
in the future, if at all.
Take a look at the README and libgrapheme(7) for an overview. Every
function-manual comes with an example and the usage should be more or
less obvious.
With best regards
Laslo Hunhold
