Hi all,
Dmitriy Fedorov added some code to try and "autodetect" the shapefile
codepage from the CPG sidecar in
https://github.com/geotools/geotools/pull/3405
I would like to backport this to 25.x and 24.x (preferably before 24.3
is released)
It is a switch that turns "on" a small change in behaviour, that does't
affect existing code if it already specifies a codepage and makes life
much easier IMO. (We are seeing increasing numbers of UTF-8 encoded
shapefiles that give unexpected results for clients.)
Alternatively; I could update the code in the backports to default to
false for the "tryCPGFile" property so there is no actual change in
behavior of the store unless your code changes the property to true
(though I would prefer not to - keeping behavior the same across versions)
Opinions?
Mark
