All, I'm trying (or it is trying!) to do the release notes for RC1. Several "improvements" regarding what's legal for user names and passwords are flagged in WhatsNew but apparently there is no documentation describing what, why or how.
All I can conclude from reading through the descriptions of the original issues in Tracker is that *something* has been done, since the issues show as resolved. I think it might be legal now to have a user name in any character set, provided it is double-quoted. Something similar might be true for passwords, I can't really tell and I don't have the means to test the theory. And there's something about converting both to UTF8 before encryption. Sorry to dig my toes in but I am not going to try to document any of these improvements until I have something that looks like an integrated set of whys and wherefores for "the rest of us".
