I just added 10 new tests to the Gemini Client Torture Test, tests 41
through 50. They all test section 5.4.1 of the Gemini Specification (text
lines). Each page contains a line that exceeds 8,500 bytes (yes, bytes, not
characters, although some of then exceed 8,500 characters, depends upon the
characters used). A few mild spoilers:
Some have the spaces replaced with dashes.
Some have no spaces, dashes or any puntuation to speak of.
Some have Unicode combining characters.
I do apologize for the snark in test 50, but it represents one of the many
aspects that I dislike about Unicode in general.
I expect these tests to be among the hardest to deal with for a client.
You have been warned. If anyone thinks these tests are unfair, well, here's
the thread to discuss it.
