Hi, Lazarus currently use UTF-8 encoding on all platforms and LazReport was using xmlcfg unit for storing now it uses xmlconf unit. On windows for example, saving UTF-8 texts were treated as if they were on system encoding so double convertion occurred. Such reports may fail to show normally when using external tools, or made crossplatform reports difficult. This is not a problem for reports using plain ascii.
In r16950 this double encoding is fixed, LazReport now expect reports to be normally encoded. This will probably brake some documents, to help to fix them I made a tool which can read old reports and do re-encode, it can make backup of current reports but it's always wise to do your own backup to minimise work loss :). The tool can be downloaded from here http://mx.geocities.com/jesusrmx/lazarus/lazreportunwrap.zip (this tool was only tested under windows, use it on your own risk :), and remember that it require lazarus r16950 or later).
