Hi, GenericSetup wasn't very good in handling non ascii chars on exporting. I changed the behavior so that it will only dump strings to files/zodb/tgzs and modified the provided exporters to default encode text as utf-8. Since this breaks packages, I'd increase the minor number from 1.6 to 1.7. To get a plone system to work with these changes, I needed to update Products.DCWorkflow, Products.PluggableAuthService and Products.PluginRegistry. Since in all these packages I only changed the default encoding from None to utf-8 I wonder if this requires a higher minor number or not. I'd say no, as anything that was just stored as ascii, would be properly decoded as utf-8 too. So before I change the numbers and ask for new release, I'd like to ask if anybody objects. Best regards, Patrick
