These themed days are inaverdent, but it happened again: Nearly everything
|
|
done today had to do with encoding issues.
|
|
|
|
The big news is that it turned out everything written to files in the
|
|
git-annex branch had unicode characters truncated to 8 bits. Now fixed so
|
|
you should always get out the same thing you put in, no matter what
|
|
encoding you use (but please use utf8). This affected things like storing
|
|
repository descriptions, but worse, it affected metadata. (Also preferred
|
|
content expressions, I suppose.)
|
|
|
|
With that fixed, there are still 7 source files left that use Char8 libraries.
|
|
There used to be more; nearly every use of those is a bug. I looked over
|
|
the remaining uses of it, and there might be a problem with Creds using it.
|
|
I should probably make a push to stamp out all remaining uses of Char8.
|
|
|
|
Other encoding bugs were less reproducible.
|
|
|
|
And just now, Sören made some progress on
|
|
[[bugs/Bootstrap3_icons_missing_on_Android]] ... and my current theory
|
|
is this is actually caused by an encoding issue too.
