- TEC 1.2.1 SDK
-
- The purpose of the 1.2.1 release was to fix several outstanding bugs which
- the schedule for Mac OS 8 release prevented us from fixing. Moreover,
- there was some big holes in functionality for the Unicode Converter which
- were addressed in this release.
-
- This is also the first release to developers of an SDK. Included in this
- release are the latest version of the software, headers (which work in
- conjunction with the recently-released Universal Interfaces 3.0.1),
- libraries, plus two sample applications along with all source code. Full
- documentation is also provided in PDF file format. HTML versions of the
- documentation can also be found in Apple's Developer site:
- <http://devworld.apple.com>
- <ftp://ftp.apple.com/devworld/Technical_Documentation/>
-
- What's New
-
- * Support for UTF-8 in the Unicode Converter.
- * New CJK source encoding hint characters in the Corporate Zone.
- * Enhanced support for Unicode conversion to all scripts and fonts
- installed in the current system.
- * Enhanced support for UpgradeScriptInfoToText encoding-it now handles all
- defined font variants.
- * Additional fallback and loose mappings for some of the Western Language
- mappings and for Japanese.
- * Now the Unicode Converter always uses output parameters set by caller
- fallback handlers.
- * New API (TECGetInfo) to get information about the current version of TEC.
- * TruncateForUnicodeToText API now works as documented.
- * Improved direction resolution, using a best guess if direction cannot be
- determined any other way.
- * Added mapping tables for ASCII (!) and EBCDIC-US.
- * Obsoleted the TECCreateOneToManyConverter API.
- * Several bug fixes.
-
- Note the lack of a 68K Static Library bullet in the list above. That was
- one of the original goals of the 1.2.1 release. However, it got dropped
- due to necessary changes that needed to be incorporated for HFS+. We felt
- that it was better to release such a library when all the changes were
- completed. If your development needs require a version of this library,
- please contact us. A beta version can be made available to you.
-
- Enjoy,
-
- The TEC Gang.
