It was written by Yannis Haralambous to use the +ICU library with BibTeX. There is another 8-bit implementation of +BibTeX, named BibTeX8 by Niel Kempson; however, BibTeXu by Yannis was +an independent project. + +The one shipped with TL is updated so that BibTeX, BibTeX8 and BibTeXu +shares more or less the same behavior wrt memory allocation, etc. +Peter Breitenlohner put in the massive efforts needed to make this +work in the TL build system and use the same ICU library as XeTeX. |
