It’s a bugfix release — it should now handled UTF-8 characters properly.
The issue was in the Magpie layer, and if anyone’s wondering how to handle it in their code, the answer that seemed to work for me was:
define("MAGPIE_INPUT_ENCODING", "UTF-8");
define("MAGPIE_OUTPUT_ENCODING", "UTF-8");
$rss = fetch_rss($rss_url);
By day, I'm a product manager serving a group of fantastic engineers at Square.
By night, I fight crime and solve mysteries with a robot pal of my own creation.
By midday, I like a snack, generally a cookie.
Part of this biography isn't true (hint, I like cookies and engineering, I don't own a robot).
