"CompositionText" may be better than "Composition" because there is another
"composition" (graphics) work for views.

[James Su, 2011/03/21 21:21:16]

I'll do it asap.

If it's necessary to rename ui::Composition to ui::CompositionText as well?

[oshima, 2011/03/22 03:35:00]

I think it's better to use CompositionText to be more clear.

[James Su, 2011/03/22 08:39:35]

Done.

remove extra empty line

[James Su, 2011/03/21 21:21:16]

Done.

[oshima, 2011/03/21 20:30:56]

This is still UCS2, correct?

[James Su, 2011/03/21 21:21:16]
