GNU miscfiles NEWS 8 July 1996
Copyright (C) 2001 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
See the end for copying conditions.
Please send GNU miscfiles bug reports to bug-gnu-utils@prep.ai.mit.edu.
Version 1.3
New file in this release:
bcp-index.txt
Index for the "Best Current Practices" internet standards documents.
Many files updated; see the ChangeLog for details.
Version 1.2
New files in this release:
unicode
The Unicode character set.
currency
A table showing the currencies of the world
countries
A table giving the official abbreviations and names of the
countries of the world, with their capital cities.
I have dropped city codes from inter.phone, for several reasons. It
is very difficult to obtain accurate up-to-date information for most
of the countries of the world. The ITU keeps a good list of country
dialing codes, but within countries, things change too much for me to
be able to keep up, and rather than contain unfixable and wrong
information, I decided to only distribute what I could be confident of.
Many many new countries are now represented in the list, however.
The na.phone file has been carefully synced against current reality.
The 5-digit zipcodes file has been dropped, since zipcodes do not map
to towns and cities any more; many 5-digit zipcodes now cross sound
boundaries.
A spelling error in web2 is fixed; and the airports and propernames
lists have been extended slightly.
The jargon file has been refreshed; the upstream author now regards
html as the primary form of it, so the info file has been dropped in
favor of html. rfc-index.txt, fyi-index.txt, std-index.txt,
mailinglists, tasks.texi, and cities.dat have all been refreshed from
their upstream sources.
Franois Pinard has added more to his excellent abbreviation lists.
Version 1.1
The na.phone file has been entirely rebuilt. inter.phone contains new
codes for the United Kingdom, several changes to reflect the changing
political world, and more codes for some countries (Sweden, Norway).
Many new files have been added:
latin1
like `ascii'; describing the ISO Latin-1 character set
languages
two-letter codes for languages, from ISO 639.
mailinglists
Description of all the public Project GNU related mailing lists.
GNU-manifesto
The GNU Manifesto
tasks.{texi,info}
The GNU task list.
jarg400
The Jargon file (same as the _Hacker's_Dictionary_)
abbrevs.talk, abbrevs.gen:
Some common abbreviations used in electronic communication
rfc-index.txt, fyi-index.txt, std-index.txt
Indexes of internet standardization documents.
cities.dat
geographic coordinates of many major cities
postal.codes
postal codes for US and Mexican states and Canadian provinces
us-constitution
The Constitution of the United States of America
us-declaration
The Declaration of Independence of the Thirteen Colonies
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 1.0
Initial release, comprising
airport, ascii, birthtoken, connectives, inter.phone, na.phone, operator,
propernames, web2, web2a, and zipcodes.
