Consortium today announced the start of beta review for the forthcoming
Unicode 6.1.0. All beta feedback must be submitted by October 24, 2011.

Unicode is the foundation for all modern software and communications
around the world, including all modern operating systems, browsers, and
smart phones; modern web protocols (HTML, XML,...); and
internationalized domain names. Thus it is important to ensure a smooth
transition to each new version of the Unicode Standard. Software
developers and other experts are strongly encouraged to review the beta
data files and documentation for Unicode 6.1.0 carefully, and to provide
any feedback regarding errors or other issues to the Unicode Consortium.
Software developers can also get an early start in testing
their programs with the beta data files so they they will be ready for
the release of Unicode 6.1.0 in February, 2012.
