Simplified Chinese language support is totally broken under Ruby 1.9

[edyfox]

In Ruby 1.8, string was binary array with no encoding information. But since Ruby 1.9, string are forced to be attached to a specific encoding. That broke the whole simplified Chinese support (the typical "invalid byte sequence in UTF-8").

As Ruby 1.8 was already end-of-life, do we have plan to port deplate to make it Ruby 1.9 compatible?

Thanks!

I gave up on making it 1.9 compatible. I might try to make it work with
2.1 again but not now. You could try to use jruby, which IIRC has an 1.8
mode.
