Hello, disallowing "AnsiString" code for UTF-8 is a huge regression.
I use TStringList for UTF-8 strings. This is no longer possible, because automatic conversions cause question marks and data loss. I also use a large amount of third-party libraries that use the AnsiString data type for UTF-8. I really want to use FPC 3 due to other things, but this is a deal breaker. Why not add a simple switch or even a run-time Boolean global variable to turn off codepage conversions? It behaves differently from Delphi too.
