Uucd 2.0.0 & Uunf 0.9.3 for Unicode 7.0.0

Archive: https://sympa.inria.fr/sympa/arc/caml-list/2014-06/msg00081.html

Daniel Bünzli announced:
Today saw the release of Unicode 7.0.0.  

This means 2834 new characters [1] — if you are looking for pointless
new arrows to write unreadable computer science papers, you’ll get
them.

New characters means updates to both Uucd and Uunf:

# Uucd

Uucd is a module that decodes the data of the Unicode character
database from its XML representation.

This is a major, incompatible, release as new enumerants were
introduced in the character properties.

Release notes: https://github.com/dbuenzli/uucd/blob/v2.0.0/CHANGES.md
Project home page: http://erratique.ch/software/uucd
API doc & examples: http://erratique.ch/software/uucd/doc/Uucd


# Uunf

Uunf is a module for normalizing Unicode text.

This is a minor release, only the internal data changes.

Release notes: https://github.com/dbuenzli/uunf/blob/v0.9.3/CHANGES.md
Project home page: http://erratique.ch/software/uunf
API doc & examples: http://erratique.ch/software/uunf/doc/Uunf


The new versions should be available shortly in opam.

Best,

Daniel
