I asked unicode.org
how I can get the latest version of CaseFolding.txt
and Rick McGowan's answer was very satisfactory:
The "latest" link you are probably looking for is this one:
https://www.unicode.org/Public/UCD/latest/
That is a stable URL that we do maintain.
Example:
https://www.unicode.org/Public/UCD/latest/ucd/CaseFolding.txt
The "latest" changes approximately once per year when a version of The Unicode Standard is released. There is little to be gained by checking that link or contents very often... so please do not add heavyweight access that runs frequently to download files that probably have not changed. Perhaps you were thinking of /polling /to check file dates once in a while.
So it should be enough to replace http://www.unicode.org/Public/12.1.0/ucd/CaseFolding.txt
by https://www.unicode.org/Public/UCD/latest/ucd/CaseFolding.txt
in gen-unicode-case-folding-map.go.
I've just replaced the URL in the gen-unicode-case-folding-map.go
.
Using latest URL may cause unexpected breakings, so I've replaced with the explicit versioned URL.
In gen-unicode-case-folding-map.go the Unicode version is hard encoded to 12.1.0 but the last version is 14.0.0 and it contains some (minor) changes.
May be it is a good idea to recover the last version automatically. I was not able to find an easy way to do this. But this can be done by fetching https://www.unicode.org/versions/latest/ which returns a
302
status code (redirection) pointing to the latest version urlhttps://www.unicode.org/versions/UnicodeXX.Y.Z/
.
