2.8.0 does not open all decks (.xml), possible encoding problem

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Updated today and ADRB fails to open some of my decks. I previusly used
ardb-20060912.

It seems to me that ARDB has now problems with scandinavian letters
(ä,ö,å). Also vampire Zöe is now incorrectly listed as Zoe.

Many of my decks have commentary in description field and are written in
Finnish. In some cases ARDB fails to open the file ("An error occurred
while opening <filename>") and in some, file is opened but scandic letters
are changed (ä -> a).

Also I cannot export these problematic files to txt-format.

Ardb only supports 7 bit ascii characters.  Unicode support (and hence 
non-English
characters) have been removed due issues with the libxml/Unicode on Windows.  
When/if
someone is able to find a work around for the XML handling this will be fixed.  
Sorry
about the problems this causes but I have so far spent around 1 months effot 
trying
to fix it and the only solution I could get to work was to remove non-English
characters from the XML file.
