Thanks for looking into it, @CAD97! Yeah, it's been in my shortlist for this weekend! I'll get to it in the evening! :)

Uh... have to push it back a couple of days, again. Sorry for the delays. It's on top of the list now and will be done in a day or two!

Okay, I'm done with the fixes needed for the release. Waiting for tests to pass and will cut the release in the morning.

Release: v0.7.0

UNIC Applications

UNIC Applications are binary creates hosting in the same repository as unic super-crate, under the apps/ directory. These creates are not internal parts of the unic library, but tools designed and developed for the general audience, also serving as a test bed for the UNIC API. We are starting with CLI applications, and possibly expanding it to GUI and WEB applications, as well.

• [unic-cli] The new UNIC CLI application provides command-line tools for working with Unicode characters and strings. In this release, first versions of unic-echo and unic-inspector commands are implemented.

New Components

Character Property

• [unic-ucd-common] Common character properties (alphabetic, alphanumeric, control, numeric, and white_space).
• [unic-ucd-ident] Unicode Identifier character properties.
• [unic-ucd-segment] Unicode Segmentation character properties.
• [unic-emoji-char] Unicode Emoji character properties.

String Algorithm

• [unic-segment] Implementation of Unicode Text Segmentation algorithms (Grapheme Cluster and Word boundaries).

Other Updates

This release was delayed for a couple of cycles, because of the problems with running tests in a workspace with a mix of std and no-std creates. The issue is resolved as of 1.22.0.

• Enable no_std for many of the existing components.
• Bumped minimum Rust to 1.22.0.
• Lots of small fixes for data types and internal structure updates.

Okay, there are a couple of more fixes I want to get in before release. Hopefully this evening.
