Enhanced support of special characters
We have just introduced support for pretty much any kind of character to be entered within comments, texts, links etc. Until now, only the text editor supported entering special characters such as é or ä or Chinese letters, while the remaining system only supported the so-called Latin1 or ISO-8859-1 character set. Now, we have switched to Unicode, so all characters are now encoded using the UTF-8 enconding. This encoding allows most characters used throughout the world to be entered anywhere within the system (I'm not saying "all" because I'm pretty sure someone can come up with some still unsupported characters... ;-) ).
So our Chinese or Japanese bloggers should be able to convert their templates very much into their mother tongue, and Spanish, French etc users should now be able to post messages containing any kinds of accents without further problems.
Should you encounter any problems, just let me know.
