coOoOOoL! utf8, me likes.

@jahc

Freezes or reapers here everytime I start it, it usually opens the window, and freezes trying to connect to the servers ("status" in the channels list).

@Severin

If ANYONE else is experiencing these problems, please let me know NOW! So far these two reports are from OS4 betatesters... I havent heard about crashing with OS3 MOS or other OS4 users yet.

EDIT: Problem solved. The default value doesnt work for OS4 properly. Change your wookiechat charsets from ISO-8859-1 to ISO-8859-15 or US-ASCII.

EDIT2: Problem is REALLY solved now. See the details in the changelog, and download beta 10!

BETA 10
- When I added charset support, I forgot to mention that the servers.txt
layout has changed, and you now need to re-enter any passwords into Wookie
that you had before. (Just click on "Edit Server" to do this).
When connecting to a server before you have edited the password details to
comply with the new format , Wookie thought the password was the charset
you wanted. I've added better error checking to that portion of code now.
- Added two more strings to the locale
- Changed the smiley popup window to 10 columns.. to make it wider to help
make the window titlebar look nicer when its full of gadgets.

@jahc

oh... so that's why it worked for me.
the first thing i did was to change all my servers to use utf8.
nice detective work jahc!
