Wow, you released the new version very quickly. Thanks very much.

However there are some problems:
- sometimes I check the new option checkbox but the effect is the opposite
- I still get messages about cannot convert to iso-8859-1 even when the
new option is enabled.
- So I tried to change the encoding to utf-8, and save it again, but I
got "Failed to convert file ... to Unicode" message, and the cpp file
editor become empty. I was shocked but fortunately the original file was
still intact.

Sorry, I've found that problem and will fix it in the next release (soon
if it's proving a nuisance).

If you still have Unicode in e.g. comments, then there may still be
problems. I don't think the above is related to the new features, though
I may be wrong. I assume there must have been some confusion when
switching encodings - if you can reproduce it I'd be grateful.

Thanks,

Julian
