new version question

The changelog refers to "perfect characterset" for translation, loading and
saving. What is that?

The two entries are:

+ New internal support added for perfect character set translation for exporting text.
+ ASCII: module uses new perfect character set translation to control conversion
of open/close quotes to straight quotes when not supported.

Hmm... I think it would be easier to explain what the code does than
explain what I wrote

The code now will try and make sloppy conversions. So if a character set
does not support the accent character, it will convert to the
unaccented. Etc. But when exporting using pagestream text codes, you
don't want that to happen because you have the fallback of unicode text
code ie 00000.

Ah... that makes sense. Another good feature.
