If I change the option to save project file as XML format, and then click [save] button, the project file will be saved by system's default encoding.
This is wrong!!
Because:
1. if you open .fbp6 file by text mode, you will see --- ?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
2. some character can not be saved in some encoding. UTF-8 can save every character.
This is a big problem to me.
Right now, I have to manually edit the .fbp6 file by text editor after saving in FinalBuilder, and then save as UTF-8 format. To support a special character.
FinalBuilder 6 does not support unicode, it never has and never will. Full unicode support will be available (by default) in the next major version (it’s what we have been working on for the last year!).
We don’t publish release dates until we are sure we can meet them. At this stage we still have a lot of work to do. As for free upgrades… that depends on whether you have a current Software Assurance subscription when the new version is released.
