@@ -6,6 +6,16 @@ <yaohan.chen@gmail.com>. People take turns to continue a chain of words by saying words that begin with the final letter(s) of the previous word. + * IRC messages are not UTF-8: Most of the string processing across + rbot is done against IRC messages, which do not have a well-defined + encoding. Although many clients are now using UTF-8, there is no + guarantee that an arbitrary string received from IRC will be UTF-8 + encoded. We have to force ASCII (byte-wise/charset agnostic) matching + because otherwise some strings can give problems: in particular, for + example, the bytesequence "\340\350\354\362\371" (that is the aeiou + vowels, each with a grave accent) will cause the string to be + considered up to the "\354" (i with grave accent) only: so either the + rest of the message is ignored, or the matching fails. 2007-02-18 Giuseppe Bilotta <giuseppe.bilotta@gmail.com> |
