Is unichist up to date (Unicode 5.2.0)?

That would depend on which perl version you are using to run it. Check the perldelta man page that comes with your version of perl. The 5.10.0 that came with my macosx 10.5 shows Unicode 5.0.0; I notice that the 5.10.1 has Unicode 5.1.0.

I haven't checked http://unicode.org, but that would be the place to look if you need to know what the Unicode version differences consist of.

(update:) Oh, wait... I remember that there's that section of the unichist code that "summarizes" the ranges of characters according to language/script "pages" -- I wouldn't expect Unicode updates to have any (significant) impact on that part of the script, but it's something I should check up on... Thanks for asking.

(another update: the POD in unichist says that the list of code page "classes" was based on Unicode 5.0)
