Future Notes
|
|
|
|
In 2023.9 the nga-c implementation added support (enabled by
|
|
default) for using UTF32 (translating incoming source and output
|
|
between UTF8 and UTF32 transparently). The fallback option (to
|
|
just read raw 8-bit values) is now considered deprecated and
|
|
will be removed in the future (assuming no bug reports relating
|
|
to the UTF32 conversions are reported).
