Ah sure! Some protos may need changes, and some functions may need tweaking, of course. But all this will need to be made manually and thus will take a long time.. I think we can start by describing the general behaviour of the extension on the reference.xml page and then, as time permits,

I'm unsure if I follow what you mean here Gabor, please clarify. If we do this soon then later we'll undo it all because when PHP 6.0.0 is released every [appropriate] function will be unicode compatible so repeating this thousands of times throughout the manual won't be useful. The appro

As far as I have seen adding an entity was the suggested method, which should not be a problem for translators to adapt to IMHO. In case this entity is just a "this has unicode support" text, and nothing more, and if all text handling functions will indeed have Unicode support, then adding thes

Fine, but what I was saying is that the behavior of number of functions will change, slightly or more than slightly, depending on unicode semantics mode being on or on the type of data passed to them. Those changes need to be documented. -Andrei On Jul 19, 2006, at 2:17 PM, Nuno Lopes wrote:

Our policy was always to document functionality when people have time and willingness to do so, even for funtionality available in stable versions in the future. The new Unicode stuff needs to be marked as such, but IMHO has its place in the documentation. People need to see that there is a lig

But we have a big problem: the translators. We can't simply modify all files and then say to translators that they are lagging behind the English version. That said, I can only agree with Philip, from a practical point of view. In the first alpha version I expect most (if not all) functions to b
