The time was 23:16 when I begun writing this letter, I hope to manage the 'today or tomorrow' with the least possible margin. There is now a patch in the darcs tree that makes the following changes: * The character set of fishd, both in the fishd.HOSTNAME file and over the socket, is ASCII. Non-ASCII characters and characters below 32 are backslash escaped. * If a character is not ascii, all clients must try to read it as UTF-8. But sending UTF-8 data is a bug. This is to increase robustness and backwards compatibility. * If a line contains a non-UTF-8 character, the entire line is ignored. Taken together, these fixes should transparently handle things like different fish instances using different character sets, which I suspect is what is causing the problems. I hope that Martin and Philip have time to test this patch soon, and that it fixes all outstanding fishd-issues.
