Bug #9092: Update Unicode data to Unicode Version 7.0

• Status: Closed
• Assignee: naruse (Yui NARUSE)
• Target version: 2.2.0
• ruby -v: trunk

[duerst (Martin Dürst)]

As done regularly, Ruby should be updated to the newest version of Unicode, 6.3. This year's updates on the Unicode side are mostly in the area of bidi (bidirectional text), which doesn't affect Ruby, but there are also a few new characters and a few property changes. (This assumes that Ruby is already at version 6.2.)
For details, please see http://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode6.3.0/.

• Target version changed from 2.1.0 to 2.2.0

[duerst (Martin Dürst)]

• Subject changed from Update Unicode data to Unicode Version 6.3 to Update Unicode data to Unicode Version 7.0

Unicode 6.3 came out in 2013. In 2014, Unicode 7.0 will be available, quite surely in time for a December release of 2.2. Most data files are already available as alpha versions for early tests at http://www.unicode.org/Public/7.0.0/ucd/.

[matz (Yukihiro Matsumoto)]

Agreed. We'd better use the latest Unicode data.

Unicode 7.0 has been released officially. Please see http://unicode-inc.blogspot.com/2014/06/announcing-unicode-standard-version-70.html.

This is just an additional comment for future reference:

The Unicode Consortium has announced
(http://unicode-inc.blogspot.ch/2014/08/new-publication-schedule-for-unicode.html) that it will publish new major versions of Unicode in June every year. In particular, Unicode Version 8 will be published in June 2015.
