The editor variable
Output-Format-Default
now has initial value
nil
. In LispWorks 5.0 and earlier versions it was a Latin-1 encoding, which does not support certain characters obtained from other applications. Now the encoding to use when first saving a file is chosen essentially as if by calling
open
, although on Microsoft Windows code pages similar to Latin-1 are never mapped to Latin-1.
The main effect of this change is that, with the default configuration of
open
on Windows, buffers containing non-Latin-1 characters that are in the system code page can be saved to file without the need to specify an external format.
Set the value of
Output-Format-Default
if you want a default encoding for writing files in the editor.
