I guess Felipe gave up waiting on a Unicode RTL for the time being and
goes for a full UTF8 pseudo RTL in LazUtils.
Well, after a lot of discussion I got convinced that Lazarus should
give a try at the UTF-8 mode of the RTL when this appears, and this
might be very useful for our usage of TStringList, TComponent,
TStream, etc. I think this solution has major problems, but it was
claimed that my proposed solutions have much worse problems, so in the
end I concluded that we should try the UTF-8 mode of the RTL when it
appears.
But this does not mean that LazUtils would not be useful then. My
proposals to add UTF-8 routines to the RTL and even FCL were rejected,
Correction: Your proposals were not rejected.
No decision as to which character sets will be used in the basic RTL
has been taken. Any action you take now is therefor premature.
So it was suggested you would wait till things settle down till and
the final shape of things are more clear.
This really is not the same as 'rejected'.
Michael.
