We had this discussion in September.
Yes, so I was curious to see your progress on this front in 3 months.
I think there is no need to repeat this again.
Well. I hope I made clear in September I'm not going to commit anything
without this is being fixed, so submitting this report was IMHO a bit
premature.
I will add a replacement for charset, using the codepages unit, so
existing code will still work.$
I prefer a patch that extends the current unit, not a new unit. It's
hard to
evaluate of an entire 3rd party product is truly backward compatible.
(and
charset has been in FPC for ages, so must be supported fully backwards
compatible)
What do you mean with "fully backwards compatible"? That function header and
syntax is the same, or that charset is a holy cow where no byte may be changed?
I believe he means the interface part of the unit and also the semantic one.
E.g.
"B := functionXYZ(A);"
in the old unit should calculate the same B for the same A in the new unit.

Sven
