[jdev] Re: Unicode Patch for JIT (Jabber ICQ Gateway)

[Tony Yat-Tung Cheung]

Hi Alexey Nezhdanov,

Thanks. I think you are right.

Our patches were made againist 1.1.4 originally. After we see the  
1.1.7 patch, we re-apply our patches to 1.1.7, so we have overlooked  
that 1.1.7 already supported receiving unicode messages.

A lot of transport administrators are still running 1.1.6 or below,  
so I think it's time for them to upgrade.

For the sending strategy, the patched JIT transport will first  
attempt to send in ASCII mode, if the message contains only ASCII  
characters. Otherwise it will attempt to send in UCS2. This works  
with most modern ICQ clients and we don't see any significant  
drawback in doing so.

You are very welcomed to look at our patches and send us feedback.  
And thank you very much for your JIT 1.1.7 patch!

Thank you!

Best Regards,
Tony Cheung
