Revised the contents of SContinue, characters that 'continue' a sentence. * Word Segmentation. Added Newline, and rules WB3a and WB3b to break words within other newline sequences * Grapheme Cluster Segmentation. * Added Prepend and rule GB9b to handle Thai and Lao. * Major revision of Section 3 Grapheme Cluster Boundaries. Includes change of name to extended grapheme cluster, clearer distinction from legacy grapheme clusters, and significant reordering and enhancement of the text * Note that the GraphemeBreakTest file in the UCD now tests the extended grapheme clusters, since it is the recommended choice. The UAX document is at http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr29/tr29-12.html. The data files are in http://www.unicode.org/Public/5.1.0/ucd/auxiliary/.

Unicode 5.1.0 is currently in the pre-publication phase and is due for release at the end of March 2008. No more substantive changes are planned, beyond those already approved by the Unicode Technical Committee. However, if you have editorial comments on the text of Unicode 5.1.0, including this document, please report via the online reporting form (http://www.unicode.org/reporting.html).

Individuals and organizations are encouraged to submit data via the Unicode CLDR Survey Tool. The Unicode CLDR project provides key building blocks for software to support the world's languages. Unicode CLDR is by far the largest and most extensive standard repository of locale data, used by a wide spectrum of companies for their software internationalization and localization: adapting software to the conventions of different languages for such common software tasks as formatting of dates, times, time zones, numbers, and currency values; sorting text; choosing languages or countries by name; and many others. In order to submit data, users need to have accounts opened. Please see http://www.unicode.org/cldr/survey_tool.html for more information.
