2011-05-14 4.18
Fixed bug in uni2ascii in which in certain cases the subsitution
      count was too high, fixing Debian bug #626268.
Patched to handle situation in NetBSD which lacks getline.
Clarified semantics of pure option as converting characters
in ascii range other than space and newline.
Fixed bug in which this was not implemented correctly for UTF8 types.

2011-02-16 4.17
Added to uni2ascii the following conversions to nearest ascii equivalent:
       U+2022 bullet to 'o'
       U+00B7 middle dot to period
       U+0085 next line  to newline
       U+2028 line separator to newline

2010-12-12 4.16
Ascii2uni Q format now works again.
Added U+2033 to characters converted to nearest ascii equivalent by uni2ascii B option.

2010-08-29 4.15
Renamed endian.h u2a_endian.h to avoid conflict with external endian.h.
Removed getline() from ascii2uni.c since it is standard as of POSIX2008.

2009-08-04 4.14
Fixed a bug that interfered with the use of the Q format in uni2ascii.
Fixed bug in which ascification of U+2502 and U+2503 added double quote to output.
Fixed a bug in which -a S option generated a "Converted so many chars" line for each
character due to leaving in debugging code.

2009-04-22 4.13
Fixed Debian bug #511527 which caused the count of characters converted
to ASCII by uni2ascii to be excessive.</li>

2009-03-25 4.12
Both programs now allow the input file name to be specified on the command
line without redirection.

2008-10-02 4.11
Added support for %uXXXX format.
Added support for <XX><XX> format.

2008-08-30 version 4.10
Fixed bug that made Y argument to -a flag in ascii2uni a no-op.
Added documentation for Y argument to -a flag to man page for ascii2uni.
Corrected documentation for Q argument to -a flag in man page for ascii2uni.
The help flag for both programs now provides correct information about the
    Q argument to the -a flag.
Giving Y as the argument to the -a flag is now an error for uni2ascii.
The action summary is now more informative. The new version is incompatible
    with u2a, which I am no longer updating. The old action summary can be
    chosen at configuration time by using the option --disable-newsummary.
More informative version information is now provided.

2008-05-06 version 4.9
Fixed bug that produced bad output or segfault if a line
ended in the prefix to an escape, e.g. just an =-sign
in quoted-printable format.

In quoted-printable format if a line ends in an =-sign,
both the equal sign and the following newline are skipped
in accordance with RFC2045.

2008-05-04 version 4.8
Fixes serious bug in ascii2uni due to inclusion in release of test version.

2008-04-26 version 4.7
Added -P option to pass through untransformed Unicode.
Added -B option as shorthand for defxy.
Added characters to -e and -x options (see ChangeLog for details).
Since hardly anyone seems to use it, the GUI u2a is no longer being developed.

2008-03-25 version 4.6
Replaced fgets call with GNU getline so as to handle arbitrarily long input lines.
Added support for OOXML format (e.g. _x00E9_).
Fixed bug affecting BYTEQ, BYTED, and BYTEH formats.

2008-03-20 version 4.5
Error messages now include the line number.

Microsoft-style HTML entities lacking final semi-colon are now
passed on by default rather than converted. The new -m flag
causes them to be converted.

2008-01-14 version 4.4
Added -y option for single-character ascii approximations
as per patch provided by Jesse Peterson (jesse.peterson@exbiblio.com)
Changed license to GPL v.3
