==Planned changes to character encodings in GF grammar files ==
==Changes to character encodings in GF grammar files ==
We plan to make two changes:
Between the release of GF 3.5 and the next version, two changes were made
relating to character encodings in GF grammar files:
+ Currently the default character encoding in GF grammar files is Latin-1
(also known as iso-8859-1, cp1252). We plan to change the default to UTF-8.
+ The default character encoding was changed from Latin-1
(also known as iso-8859-1, cp1252) to UTF-8.
+ It is currently possible to use another character encoding by specifying it
with a ``flags coding = ...`` declaration in the source file. We plan to change
this to use a pragma ``--# -coding=...`` at the top of the file instead.
+ They way you specify alternate character encodings was changed. Instead of
using a ``flags coding = ...`` declaration in the source file, you should now
use a pragma ``--# -coding=...`` at the top of the file instead.
