Unicode locale

[Eugene]

Hello Tim,

TR> The base system has a UTF-8 version of every supported locale in 5.2-CURRENT,
TR> but for previous releases (inc. 5.1), you'll have to install misc/utf8locale
TR> from the ports collection.

TR> Support for UTF-8 (and other multi-byte encodings) has been greatly improved
TR> since 5.1 and 5.2, so you'd do well to upgrade to 5.3 when it's released.

Thank you for the info!
I installed this port.
Have you any info about release dates of 5.3 version?
Do you know is there some upgrade guide from older encodings to utf-8?
There's no problems for people worked in ASCII due to backward
compatibility, but on my system there's files in 8-bit encodings like
KOI8-R and windows-1251.
What can you recommend me?
