About libtranscript

libtranscript is a character-set conversion library, much like the iconv set of functions. The library allows great control over the conversions. It was designed for use in programs which use Unicode internally, using UTF-8, UTF-16 or UTF-32/UCS-4.

libtranscript currently provides converters for the following encodings:

Unicode UTF-{7,8,16LE,16BE,32LE,32BE}, CESU-8, GB-18030.
ISO-8859-{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,7-2003,8,9,10,11,13,14,15,16}.
Windows-125{0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8}.
KOI8-{R,U,RU}.
ISO-2022-{JP,JP2,JP3,JP2004,KR,CN,CN-EXT}.
EUC-{CN,JP,JIS-2004,KR,TW}, Windows-949.
Big5, Big5-HKSCS, Windows-950.
Shift-JIS, Shift-JISX0213, Shift-JIS-2004, Windows-932.
JIS-X-201.
Window-936.

libtranscript version 0.3.1 released

This release removes support for Windows-21866 character set. This should be the same as the KOI8-U character set (which is supported). Furthermore, this release properly handles unpaired high surrogates in a UTF-8 stream and uses a script to install the required symbolic links, instead of the linkltc program.
