Scripts File Encoding

When loading script files from the disk, RoundhousE first tries to detect encoding using BOM. If the file doesn't contain BOM, it does fall back to default encoding which is set to UTF-8 by default. You can change default encoding by using defaultencoding parameter. For the list of possible values see the column Name in table listed in .NET System.Text.Encoding class documentation.

Prior behavior (up to and including v0.8.5)

Encode your script files in UTF-8 if you can. RoundhousE has some detection of encoding, but it is based on http://www.west-wind.com/WebLog/posts/197245.aspx and not very accurate. It defaults to ANSI if it can't find a BOM.

The default is now to detect UTF8, but to fall back to ANSI. - New in v0.8.5!
