Category: core (C code) Group: None >Status: Closed >Resolution: Accepted Priority: 5 Submitted By: Mark Hammond (mhammond) Assigned to: Mark Hammond (mhammond) Summary: Allow pre-encoded strings as filenames Initial Comment: This patch enables most filename parameters to use pre- encoded strings. On Windows, the default of "mbcs" is used. On all other platforms, the default filename encoding is the same as the general default encoding, which in reality means there is no functional change. However, other platforms can simply plugin their own encodings. ...

Mark (or anyone else who understands all this), were doc changes included? Can someone please add a briefer user-oriented blurb to Misc/NEWS too?
