@ -20,11 +20,24 @@ Tools simplified since the Unicode 6.1 update. See
- http://bugs.icu-project.org/trac/wiki/Markus/ReviewTicket8972
* Unicode version numbers
- icutools/unicode/makedefs.sh was deleted, so one fewer places for version & path updates
- icutools/unicode/makedefs.sh was deleted, so one fewer place for version & path updates
* file preparation
- ucdcopy.py and genpname/preparse.pl replaced by preparseucd.py:
- ~/svn.icu/tools/trunk/src/unicode$ py/preparseucd.py ~/uni61/20111205mod/ucd ~/svn.icu/trunk/src ~/svn.icu/tools/trunk/src
- This writes files (especially ppucd.txt) to the ICU4C unidata and testdata subfolders.
- Check test file diffs for previously commented-out, known-failing data lines;
probably need to keep those commented out.
* PropertyValueAliases.txt changes
- Script codes that are in ISO 15924 but not in Unicode are now listed in
preparseucd.py, in the _scripts_only_in_iso15924 variable.
If there are new ISO codes, then add them.
If Unicode adds some of them, then remove them from the .py variable.
* UnicodeData.txt changes
- No more manual changes for CJK ranges for algorithmic names;
those are now written to ppucd.txt and genprops reads them from there.
* generate core properties data files (makeprops.sh was deleted)
