Description
Hi
Just wondering if anyone knows when BP 1.3 is out? I’ve had this bug for sometime now, similar to this one described for Portuguese.
http://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/i-have-a-charset-problem/
I’ve did all the manual DB conversions etc and the end result seems to be an AJAX Groups Buddypress bug: if I type an accented Irish charecter á é í ó or ú into anywhere in the groups area, it comes up strange eg Ãr instead of ár (within an AJAX content area with sub headings of HOME MEMBERS etc) whereas on my homepage (non AJAX) it seems fine. The intial thread was here http://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/from-latin1-to-uft8-issues/
If 1.3 fixes this and is out soon it would solve a major problem for me. I have been delaying properly releasing this site due to this bug and was considering migrating to another social system as I heard Buddypress was no longer supported but if that’s not true and 1.3 fixes this I’d be happy to hold on a while.
regards
Dónal

As Paul stated in the forum thread, I believe this issue is fixed.
You can help verify by running the latest version of BP 1.3-bleeding on your local development sandbox or by testing for the bug on http://testbp.org.
testbp.org should be running one of the current builds of BP 1.3 so please test this issue out on that site (if applicable).
BuddyPress is still being actively supported and developed. The core devs are volunteers with day jobs, so they commit when they can. That being said, I think, ideally, 1.3 will be released within the next month. However, due to the nature of open source, all-volunteer development, it'll be out when it's out ;) I know that doesn't really answer your question, but it's the best that can be offered right now.
Also, since this really belongs in the support forum, I'm closing this ticket.
