The last official release of BSD iconv is 2.0 and it was 3 years ago. Later Konstantin found himself not be able to develop iconv. I hope to release 2.1 in near future w/ all my fixes included. There will be not too much new but let BSD iconv act as GNU libiconv replacement. At least the last is true for the past year on my system. > > 2. What is the status of this iconv implementation?

If you need well tested iconv implementation I suggest you GNU libiconv wich is default iconv library for all FreeBSD ports at the moment. All the best, Alexander.
