Why not 1.0? We already have trivial patch for this bug. Are you going to release 1.0 in the next 24 hours?
Yes, why not 1.0? I confirm that the patch is correct, and moreover it's trivial. Why for not include it for 1.0? The bug affects all non-ascii symbols - i.e. words with letters with umlauts will be displayed in funky and unreadable way.
Unless there is some horrible (reliably crashing for lots of people, losing data, etc) bug in RC2, RC2 will become 1.0. If we hold up 1.0 until the stream of simple bugfixes for small bugs stops, we'll never release it. And we're *NOT* going to release 1.0 with patches that haven't been tested as part of a release candidate, no matter how simple they look. (Although I confess, I can't imagine how this patch would hurt either.) Besides, there are already worse i18n problems that aren't going to be fixed in time for 1.0 anyway, right?
No, I don't know about any i18n-related bugs beside this and #15379 (that is BY ORDERS MORE IMPORTANT), but both are very trivial. Why are you that principal? If you confirm that this is innocent patch, why not commit it right now? You behave like religious people :)
Amen!
patch applied. although the patch was wrong somehow (the changelog bit), use cvs diff -u in future
What's wrong with the patch? I always use "diff -up" (+ editing by hand) Maybe you mean "-0,0" part? It allows you to add new ChangeLog entry always at the top of the file.
