The Bricolage team is pleased to announce the release of Bricolage 1.4.4. This is a maintenance release that fixes numerous bugs found in version 1.4.3. All users of earlier versions of Bricolage are encouraged to upgrade.
The most significant change in this release is that the default character set has been changed from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8. With this setting, Bricolage does no character set translation, so it's faster. Furthermore, since most users are likely not doing chracter translation in their templates, and the Bricolage API outputs UTF-8, it seemed better to use the same character set from end-to-end by default. Other changes include a few interface improvements, unlimited data sizes in elemente fields, more exact error messages and prompts, and over 20 bug fixes.
