--- Comment #2 from Jehan <[email protected]> --- Are you saying that the project is more or less abandoned? Is that the problem? Apart from a few commits a year, I indeed don't see much activity there. But it is based anyway on years-old code of Mozilla, which does not seem to have been touched since 2008 as well, based on an algorithm and a paper itself made and untouched since 2002 (http://www.mozilla.org/projects/intl/chardet.html and http://www.mozilla.org/projects/intl/UniversalCharsetDetection.html). I guess existing encoding detection works well and does not need to be modified too much, except from a few fixes here and there (there is still small activity in uchardet repo). Of course if you know a better C lib for encoding detection (more encoding support, better algorithm, active development even…), I'm good with any alternative and have no preference there. I just wish our distributions were more user-friendly for Asian users and installed software would detect automatically common encoding still in use. If such a lib were packaged everywhere, then apps would start using it. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
