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);
