Eastern European Encodings
Man, this is really bothering me. Couple of days ago I was reading something on the internet about an app and people complained that their version of encodings was broken or something, anyways it seems they talked about something like Bosnia is now a different country and Herzegovina is this and Serbia is that and now they don't know the encodings and Cyrillic this and Latin that, etc etc. Then yesterday I am on the msdn blogs for something totally separate and run across an entry on the BCL Team blog titled "New .NET 2.0 Security Patch Changes Some Culture Names on Windows XP/2003/2000 [Justin Van Patten]". Was I surprised to see a table of encodings there that talked about exact problem these pppls where having just 2 days ago and now I cannot remember what that was all about but this entry would sure be useful for them, so click on the link above to learn more.
