Description

Libidn 2.2.0 (released 2019-05-23) ==================================

- Perform A-Label roundtrip for lookup functions by default

- Stricter check of input to punycode decoder

- Fix punycode decoding with no ASCII chars but given delimiter

- Fix `idn2 --no-tr64` (was a no-op)

- Allow `_` as a basic code point in domain labels

- Fail building documentation if `ronn` isn't installed

- git tag changed to reflect https://semver.org/

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora update system website.
Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
