This is a reminder on behalf of the Unicode Technical Committee that the
review period for the Unicode 4.1.0 Beta ends on January 31.
Since the first beta announcement, many data files have been updated with
significant changes and additions. These updates include UCD.html and
Unihan files. In addition, there are also changes and additions to Unicode
Standard Annexes that form an integral part of 4.1.0, covering
Bidirectional Text, Normalization, Program Identifiers, Named Character
Sequences, and others. These are listed on the Technical Reports page:
http://www.unicode.org/reports/
The complicated changes and additions in a new version like Unicode 4.1.0
can have very significant impact on a large percentage of modern software.
There are now less than 20 days remaining for developers to provide
feedback on this version!
Notably missing from the beta data is NamesList.txt. This file will be
included in the final release, but will not be generated until after the
final results of the WG2 meeting in China later this month. Also missing
are three data files for UAX #29.
If you wish to check data files or provide any feedback for the committee
on the documentation, you may use our web reporting form to make your
comments.

The beta page is here:
http://www.unicode.org/versions/beta.html
The beta "Version 4.1.0" page is here:
http://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode4.1.0/
Note that the Version 4.1.0 page is still under development and in
editorial review. Beta reviewers should focus on the conformance changes
documented there.
Beta Data files are here:
http://www.unicode.org/Public/4.1.0/
ftp://www.unicode.org/Public/4.1.0/
**IMPORTANT** The beta data files still reflect the state of character
assignments approved by the UTC and currently under ISO ballot. Some code
points may yet change as a result of potential decisions to be taken by WG2
later this month and the UTC in February.
