Okay folks, I now have Unicode support!
The Beta on the website, version 2.2.7.1, includes Unicode support. All you nice people who have Unicode platforms, please could you give this a thorough test and feedback your results. Any problems/issues, just let me know.
A couple of notes:
1) I do not know if I should be releasing two versions, Unicode and Non-Unicode, or if I should just release the Unicode version. Anyone any thoughts? I don't want to find that I release one version (with Unicode support) and then cripple everyone else's installations!
2) My Regular Expression library does NOT have support for Unicode. As such, I have to convert the details to non-unicode. Whilst the program doesn't crash, I am not sure how well it works (I really need an Asian keyboard!).
Anyway, I am not going to do any more development on ANY version of BRU until I'm happy with the Unicode version (in case I need to revert back to the non-unicode source). Therefore, the more testing that can be done by you guys the better! Ideally it needs to be tested by Unicode people AND non-unicode prople, to make sure there's no regression issues.
I look forward to hearing your feedback.
Jim
