+

+ The Featureless Linux Library development version 0.5.10 is released. +

+

+ The primary focus of the 0.5.10 release is for releasing the 0.6.0 stable release. +

+

+ Unit tests for all level_0 projects now exists (except for f_type which is not planned to ever have unit tests). +

+

+ Many problems and consistency issue have been identified by the written unit tests and fixed. + The unit tests, however, are neither complete nor thorough. + There are almost no unit tests for level_1, level_2, or level_3 projects. +

+

+ I noticed that the Unicode processing code is incomplete as of the 0.5.9 release. + The available Unicode processing functions are now complete. + A massive amount of unit tests now exist for testing the Unicode. +

+

+ There are now over 3000 unit tests for all code in this repository. +

+
