• New in 1.6:
  * The iconv program's -f and -t options are now optional.
  * Many more transliterations.
  * Added CP862 converter.
  * Changed the GB18030 converter.
  * Portability to DOS with DJGPP.
  
  New in 1.5:
  * Added an iconv(1) program.
  * New locale dependent encodings "char", "wchar_t".
  * Transliteration is now off by default. Use a //TRANSLIT suffix to enable it.
  * The JOHAB encoding is documented again.
  * Changed a few mappings in the CP950 converter.
  
  New in 1.4:
  * Added GB18030, BIG5HKSCS converters.
  * Portability to OS/2 with emx+gcc.
  
  New in 1.3:
  * Added UCS-2BE, UCS-2LE, UCS-4BE, UCS-4LE converters.
  * Fixed the definition of EILSEQ on SunOS4.
  * Fixed a build problem on OSF/1.
  * Support for building as a shared library on Win32.
  
  New in 1.2:
  * Added UTF-16BE and UTF-16LE converters.
  * Changed the UTF-16 encoder.
  * Fixed the treatment of tab characters in the UTF-7 converter.
  * Fixed an internal error when output buffer was not large enough.
  
  New in 1.1:
  * Added ISO-8859-16 converter.
  * Added CP932 converter, a variant of SHIFT-JIS.
  * Added CP949 converter, a variant of EUC-KR.
  * Improved the ISO-2022-CN-EXT converter: It now covers the ISO-IR-165 range.
  * Updated the ISO-8859-8 conversion table.
  * The JOHAB encoding is deprecated and not documented any more.
  * Fixed two build problems: 1. "make -n check" failed. 2. When libiconv was
    already installed, "make" failed.
  
  New in 1.0:
  * Added transliteration facilities.
  * Added a test suite.
  * Fixed the iconv(3) manual page and function: the return value was not
    described correctly.
  * Fixed a bug in the CP1258 decoder: invalid bytes now yield EILSEQ instead of
    U+FFFD.
  * Fixed a bug in the Georgian-PS encoder: accept U+00E6.
  * Fixed a bug in the EUC-JP encoder: reject 0x8E5C and 0x8E7E.
  * Fixed a bug in the KSC5601 and JOHAB converters: they recognized some Hangul
    characters at some invalid code positions.
  * Fixed a bug in the EUC-TW decoder; it was severely broken.
  * Fixed a bug in the CP950 converter: it recognized a dubious BIG5 range.
  
  New in 0.3:
  * Reduced the size of the tables needed for the JOHAB converter.
  * Portability to Win32.
  
  New in 0.2:
  * Added KOI8-RU, CP850, CP866, CP874, CP950, ISO-2022-CN-EXT, GBK and
    ISO-2022-JP-1 converters.
  * Added MACINTOSH as an alias for MAC-ROMAN.
  * Added ASMO-708 as an alias for ISO-8859-6.
  * Added ELOT_928 as an alias for ISO-8859-7.
  * Improved the EUC-TW converter: Treat CNS 11643 plane 3.
  * Improved the ISO-2022-KR and EUC-KR converters: Hangul characters are
    decomposed into Jamo when needed.
  * Improved the CP932 converter.
  * Updated the CP1133, MULELAO-1 and ARMSCII-8 mappings.
  * The EUC-JP and SJIS converters now cover the user-defined range.
  * Fixed a possible buffer overrun in the JOHAB converter.
  * Fixed a bug in the UTF-7, ISO-2022-*, HZ decoders: a shift sequence a the
    end of the input no longer gives an error.
  * The HZ encoder now always terminates its output in the ASCII state.
  * Use a perfect hash table for looking up the aliases.
  
  New in 0.1:
  * Portability to Linux/glibc-2.0.x, Linux/libc5, OSF/1, FreeBSD.
  * Fixed a bug in the EUC-JP decoder. Extended the ISO-2022-JP-2 converter.
  * Made TIS-620 mapping consistent with glibc-2.1.
