libpsl 0.5.0 released

[Tim Ruehsen]

Hi libpsl folks,

the new release allows for specifying a runtime method and a method to
generate built-in PSL data independent of each other.

You can build the built-in data with either libicu, libidn2, libidn or not at
all (--enable-runtime=...).

Similar can you link libpsl to generate punycode and lowercase utf-8 domains
on the fly using either libicu, libidn2, libidn or not at all (--enable-
builtin=...).

When using libidn or libidn2, you also need GNU libunistring (LGPL) and iconv
functionality (normally built into glibc).

Libicu has all needed functionality built in and thus doesn't require
additional libraries.

I'll create a new Debian package the next days.

nice! (though i think you've got "runtime" and "builtin" swapped in the
above announcement)

what do you expect to use as the default for the debian package?

--dkg

I tagged and pushed the changes to debian branch.

Daniel, could you have a look - and if ok, upload the package ?

Thanks
