This is done via encoding all data + stored in roundup database to utf-8 (unicode encoding). To support utf-8 in + web interface you should add the folowing line to your tracker's html/page + and html/_generic.help files inside <head> tag: + + <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> + + Sinse latin characters in utf-8 has the same codes as in ASCII table, this + modification is optional for users who use only plain latin characters. + + After this modification, you will be able to see and enter any world + character via web interface. Data received via mail interface also converted + to utf-8, however only new messages will be converted. If your roundup + database contains some of non-ASCII characters in one of 8-bit encoding, + they will not be visible in new unicode environment. Some of such data (e.g. + user names, keywords, etc) can be edited by administrator, the others + (e.g. messages' contents) is not editable via web interface. Currently there + is no tool for converting such data, the only solution is to close + appropriate old issues and create new ones with the same content. + Migrating from 0.4.x to 0.5.0 =============================
