[UA-discuss] Important UA milestone for Apple platforms (iOS, MacOSX, TvOS, WatchOS)

[Vadim Mikhaylov]

Hi, everyone!

I'm a bit confused by the library description (see the Git link 
https://github.com/karwa/swift-url). For example, in the section Project 
Status - "WebURL is a complete URL library, implementing the latest 
version of the URL Standard. It currently does not support 
Internationalized Domain Names (IDNA), but that support is planned." and 
in the section RoadMap "There is reason to hope this may be 
implementable soon. Native Unicode normalization was recently 
implemented in the Swift standard library for String, and there is a 
desire to expose this functionality to libraries such as this one. Once 
those APIs are available, we'll be able to use them to implement IDNA."

May I ask to clarify, IDNA support has already been implemented and the 
description need to be updated or it's just future plans?

Best regards, Vadim.
