when there is an invalid character in the output codeset while it is
valid in the input. However, POSIX requires iconv() to perform an
implementation-defined conversion on the character. So, Citrus iconv converts
such a character to a special character which means it is invalid in the
output codeset.
This is not a problem in most cases but some software like libxml2 depends
on GNU's behavior to determine if a character is output as-is or another form
such as a character entity (&#NNN;).
- Add ' to the list of directly encoded characters and * to the list of
optionally directly encoded characters as per RFC 2152.
- In _citrus_UTF7_mbtoutf16 on end of input when the next output character
has only been partially decoded, save a copy of the buffer of input
characters (not just its length). On the next call with more input
characters this buffer is reprocessed together with the new input to
form a fully decoded output character.
- At the end of a base64 encoded sequence fully discard '-' (BASE64_OUT)
by decrementing psenc->chlen and i. This is needed to make room in
psenc->ch (input buffer) in case the next input character starts a new
base64 encoded sequence. And also, if this is the end of input and no
output character can be returned, this brings the encoder in the initial
state as indicated by _citrus_UTF7_stdenc_get_state_desc_generic which
is used by the caller to distinguish between no output and partial
output.
- In _citrus_UTF7_mbrtowc_priv pass the s parameter (input pointer)
directly to _citrus_UTF7_mbtoutf16 instead of a copy (s0). This way s
is updated correctly in case of errors.
- In _citrus_UTF7_mbrtowc_priv when called with psenc->surrogate set
(previous call did not have enough input), retrieve the previously
decoded UTF-16 character from (psenc->cache >> psenc->bits) instead of
(psenc->cache >> 2).

setting. It can be built by setting the WITH_ICONV knob. While this
knob is unset, the library part, the binaries, the header file and
the metadata files will not be built or installed so it makes no impact
on the system if left turned off.
This work is based on the iconv implementation in NetBSD but a great
number of improvements and feature additions have been included:
- Some utilities have been added. There is a conversion table generator,
which can compare conversion tables to reference data generated by
GNU libiconv. This helps ensuring conversion compatibility.
- UTF-16 surrogate support and some endianness issues have been fixed.
- The rather chaotic Makefiles to build metadata have been refactored
and cleaned up, now it is easy to read and it is also easier to add
support for new encodings.
- A bunch of new encodings and encoding aliases have been added.
- Support for 1->2, 1->3 and 1->4 mappings, which is needed for
transliterating with flying accents as GNU does, like "u.
- Lots of warnings have been fixed, the major part of the code is
now WARNS=6 clean.
- New section 1 and section 5 manual pages have been added.
- Some GNU-specific calls have been implemented:
iconvlist(), iconvctl(), iconv_canonicalize(), iconv_open_into()
- Support for GNU's //IGNORE suffix has been added.
- The "-" argument for stdin is now recognized in iconv(1) as per POSIX.
- The Big5 conversion module has been fixed.
- The iconv.h header files is supposed to be compatible with the
GNU version, i.e. sources should build with base iconv.h and
GNU libiconv. It also includes a macro magic to deal with the
char ** and const char ** incompatibility.
- GNU compatibility: "" or "char" means the current local
encoding in use
- Various cleanups and style(9) fixes.
