Sheesh I gotta be somewhere in ten minutes i'll be quick.
1. Added Unicode/UTF-8 BOM support to file routines. This applies to all files that are read or written as text, including ini files.
You will need to force binary reading/writing now with /fopen. Add switches for read-only mode too. /fopen -rwb (-read, -write, -binary)
/fseek -w <wildcard>
/fseek -r <regex>
You *need* to fix $fread to get the matchtext or matched expressions after performing this. You should not force using $fread to read up to the next line when using a standard %var.
That's it. Gotta run.
