Dear Jim,

Thank you for the reassurance:

Revolution is a fantastic platform for cross-platform development, and I hope this core issue might be addressed soon. As international text is used throughout all apps I work on, this would simply create far too many issues - from interface design, database storage, to file manipulation. This is the kind of 'missing core feature' that makes people change frameworks - and that is a great shame, because Rev does have so much to offer in other areas.

I hear that a new version (4.5) is in the works. If this does not break any confidentiality agreements, can a beta tester tell us perhaps if any unicode issues are being addressed in this new version?

Many thanks in advance,
