Bug 112 – Bugzilla should be configured to use UTF-8

At the moment, pages on this installation of Bugzilla are served in the ISO-8859-1 encoding. Why? As a result, the code snippet in bug 111 isn't quite what the reporter wrote. I'm puzzled, since a quick glance of URL above implies that UTF-8 is supposed to be the default for new Bugzilla installations. After all, D expects strings to be UTF-8. Its Bugzilla ought to match.

The version of bugzilla installed pre-dates the checkin point for any of the changes in that bug. In the version running right now, there's no forcing of the charset at all. I've added a quick change to set the charset to utf8 but that's a subset of what that bug is about and is quite possibly rather insufficient for good utf8 support. Once 2.20 is released, I'll look at upgrading to it, but I don't intend to do so until after it's actually released. Marking this bug as fixed, as it's as fixed as it's going to get until the next bugzilla release.

Oops.. not 2.20, that's what I'm currently running. The changes will be in 2.22 and d.puremagic.com/bugzilla will be upgraded to that once it's released.

What is d-beta.puremagic.com for, and why is it advertised in notification emails? It's running the same version of Bugzilla as d.puremagic.com, with the only apparent difference being that d-beta is back on ISO-8859-1.

Where, other than bug #1, do you see references to d-beta? I looked at a few messages from recent bugs and see no references.

At the top of every bugmail I've received since 17 May. There was also an odd instance on 1 May when bug 111 comment 4 was posted.
