Manuscript (Case [Issue]21703) _Inbox - DNU #setConverterForCode

Sven Van Caekenberghe edited Case 21703: DNU #setConverterForCode: Bug in  _Inbox: Not Spam  •  You are subscribed to this case I know that on Windows some tools always write a Unicode BOM with a simple text file. So any code reading such a file should accept that. This is now already the case with the Zn encoders. On a modern system, like macOS or Linux, that BOM is not written by default. Still, today everybody assumes by default UTF-8 and that is how it should be. I would not write out a BOM by default on all platforms (maybe on Windows, I don't know for sure) - that would be too ugly (and basically unnecessary). I also don't think we should do something special to support MacRoman (as in detect it by default) and automagically handle that weird old format (mind you I have been a Mac user for decades). Anyway, that is my first reaction, I am open to discussions. Priority: 5 – Fix If Time Status: Resolved (Fix Review Needed) Assigned to: hilaire Milestone: Pharo7.0 Go to Case No longer need updates?
