Is these links represent the latest state of the library and the documentation?
Yes, though it hasn't been modified in a while.
I see.
Are there plans to provide more features in the future? If so when?
Yes, I think there is still a lot of room for improvement. It definitely needs more tests for example.
I wasn't talking about the infrastructure but rather the core library. I mean provide more features.
Basically I did this talk because I wanted to get feedback.
No one seems to have tried using the library, and I don't think it can be reviewed without that.
Have you used it in your own applications? At least (correct me if I wrong) I see that it is mostly useful for 3 things from **end user** point of view 1. UTF-XX to UTF-YY conversions. 2. Unicode normalization 3. "Character" or Grapheme clusters iteration. These is a very small subset of things expected to be in Unicode library. It is a good base to start and the provided concepts are very interesting but I couldn't actually find too many things from the actually widely used Unicode features. I looked into it mostly because I was thinking about your review of Boost.Locale and I was looking an inspiration of how to possibly implement text streaming interface for some algorithms that provide an interface over icu::CharacterIterator like boundary API.
There are a lot of things I would like to add, but I just can't find the motivation to do this if there is no one actually using it -- I personally do not have a need for this.
I'm actually very interested in this library and I can provide some feedback over this list or personally. Also I have some things I'd like to discuss regarding your comments on Boost.Locale.
