We have been dealing with an ongoing problem with International Character set support. The problem arrises when the application tries to download and save it's configuration data from the buzztouch control panel. In many many cases the app downloads the file, but cannot save it because the character set of the downloaded data is not what it expects. Bottom line, international characters cause problems - alot. We have 'half' the solution worked out. Beginning in a few days, when you download the source code for your app, it's configuration data will be included in the download completely. Today, only a 'dataURL' is provided, which means the app needs to download it's config data the first time it loads. This will change. The new approach will mean that the app will load and run, without internet access because the original configuration data will be embedded in the Xcode project. Next, it will try to 'check for updates.' If the control panel is updated, it will download a new version of the config data. The second part (when it tries to get a new version) will not change and therefore will still have trouble with international characters. But, the app will launch, it just may error when updating. This is a bit of a trade-off. a) App launches, uses embeeded config. data b) App checks for updates and downloads new version if availalbe c) App tries to save this new data. If it's not the proper character set, it will still error but will run with the original set. After we get this major design change done, we'll work on figuring out why international characters don't save. This may mean the introduction of a Character Set choice in the control panel? Hope not.

Note: Forgot to mention that this post is about v1.5 - NOT v1.4. Nothing in v1.4 will change in this regard.
