Upgrade Bug with German Umlaute

[Marc]

Hi

I'm encountering a bug when upgrading a TiddlyWiki 2.5.0 to the newest
2.5.3.
Every German Umlaut and special character is broken after the upgrade.

If you have ever seen an UTF8 document converted to ASCII, then you
can imagine the problem.

Is there any bugfix or known workaround ?

Thank you very much for this excellent piece of software !

Best regards,
Marc

I cannot reproduce this (Firefox 3.5 on Ubuntu):
* downloaded http://tiddlywiki.com/archive/empty.2.5.0.html
* added some text with umlauts to GettingStarted, saved
* reloaded - everything looked fine
* upgraded to 2.5.3 - everything looks fine

Can you provide more details on your setup:

I managed to isolate the main reason for this bug, and to find a
workaround.

The wiki 2.5.0 was created and maintained on Linux (Ubuntu).
The upgrade was performed on Windows.

Workaround: The wiki has to be first saved once on Windows before
performing the upgrade.

I'm guessing that there is a conversion happening during the save
process which is not happening before the upgrade process.
Maybe this info helps you fixing the issue.

Best,
Marc
