Hi Jesse,
I'm sorry that CJK support was broken. But as you state, it's been broken since
0.7.14 and no one has really stepped up to:
1) Say that this was broken
2) Provide a fix for it
And no one has stepped up to do #2 either (to date). Apparently, this has been
known for a while now, and I've made several realease "warnings" since then
without anyone bringing this to my attention. While unfortunate, if "you snooze,
you loose."
So what does that mean for you/CJK? Well, unless you get a patch to me in the
next few hours, this will not go into 0.9.0. We'll try to get this wrapped up
for 0.9.1 though.
Sorry,
Dom
