Whither 13.1.0?

Open srl295 opened this issue 4 years ago • 5 comments

https://github.com/unicode-org/unicodetools/pull/44 introduces a "13.1.0" data subdirectory. Perhaps it means Emoji 13.1.0 as opposed to Unicode 13.1.0. Revisit whether 13.1.0 can be removed from the data directory.

Should the emoji version be kept separately from the Unicode version?

The major versions are linked; however, there may be substantial minor versions of emoji where we don't push a minor version of Unicode.

However, the tooling is not really adapted to that case, so for simplicity I just copied the 13.0 files up to the 13.1 directory in that PR.

We should not need fake UCD 13.1 files for processing emoji 13.1.

I think we should not need a fake 13.1 value for UCD property Age either.

We should revisit the code for these after Unicode 14.

No question that we shouldn't need the fake UCD 13.1. Just a question of ROI; it is simple to copy files.

Hacks tend to beget hacks, in this case see PR #115

The approach taken in this hack also prevents us from accessing the history of property assignments in dot-dot releases, which had a different UCD but no new characters and no new Age value.
