Subject: [ANN] UnicodeUtils 0.1.0 - more Unicode for Ruby 1.9

UnicodeUtils is a new, pure Ruby library that provides additional
Unicode string manipulation functions for Ruby 1.9.

Install with RubyGems:

    $ gem install unicode_utils

Online documentation: http://unicode-utils.rubyforge.org/
RubyForge project: http://rubyforge.org/projects/unicode-utils/
Source: http://github.com/lang/unicode_utils

Example code:

    require "unicode_utils"

    UnicodeUtils.name "æ" => "LATIN SMALL LETTER AE"

    # Ruby 1.9 currently doesn't provide Unicode-aware case conversion

    UnicodeUtils.upcase "Straße" => "STRASSE"

    UnicodeUtils.downcase "Ümit" => "ümit"

Plans for future releases:

    * implement language-specifc rules for upcase/downcase
    * normalization
    * sorting, ...
