this is probably "not a bug" but... I switched from 0.8b to 0.8.1-git as of yesterday. I got Cyrillic encoding problems go away with a couple of my correspondents (one running native ICQ, one (pathalogical case?) with pidgin). But the problems that I always had with licq uses became worse. Mind you, most my correspondents have "windows-1251" set as default encoding, for compatibility with older clients. I have it too, in the pyicq config, as "<encoding>windows-1251</encoding>". I did not change this when I upgraded, I just added "<detectunicode/>". Now, the situation: Before upgrade (0.8b): - online communication works fine, transmission is in windows-1251. - when I get offline message (sent from licq correspondent when I was offline), the message is unrecognisable ascii characters (no bytes with high order bit set). After upgrade (0.8.1-git): - when online, licq peers need to manually configure "utf-8" as both sedning and receiving encoding, otherwise I or they cannot read the text. They complain because this is a special case for them (windows-1251 setting works for them with all other clients). - when they send me a message when I am offline, and they have "utf-8" configured for me, I get an unreadable test, that I need to pass to "iconv -t utf16" to get readable utf-8 text. Note that this is *NOT* "iconv -f utf16", but "iconv -t utf-16", so we have a case of "reverse" encoding, apparently. Not sure if this can or needs to be fixed, but I thought I'd report it anyway.
