I'm too exhausted to dig into this any further than reading it right now. What Michael's talking about sounds fairly reasoned, but even assuming everyone agrees, I think this is a disruptive change to throw in at this point. What's the smallest change we can make to get it working "good enough" for now?<br>
<br>My suggestion is that... no, crap, that doesn't work at all. I was going to suggest we take the sprint at ESUG to focus on sorting out encoding/decoding (I'd like to be a focus for 3.1 anyway). But since Philippe won't be there and Lukas may or may not be, that's not really going to work out. :)<br>
<br>Ok, so I'm not sure when we tackle that, but the question is still what can we do now that won't make us even *less* likely to release?<br><br>Julian<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, May 19, 2010 at 7:31 PM, Michael Lucas-Smith <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:mlucas-smith@cincom.com">mlucas-smith@cincom.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Can someone speak to the platforms that have trouble with #= here?<br>

GNU Smalltalk has problems comparing an encoded string with #latin1String.<br>

Perhaps we need to make the way we represent encoded bytes platform specific. If a platform chooses to represent bytes as characters in a string, so be it - but at least at the GRPlatform level we can draw a distinction between "A collection of bytes" and "a collection of characters" instead of always assuming the collection species is String?<div>
