Charset Normalizer v2.0.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2021-07-02 // almost 2 years ago

  • 🔄 Changed

    • 🚀 4x to 5 times faster than the previous 1.4.0 release. At least 2x faster than Chardet.
    • Accent has been made on UTF-8 detection, should perform rather instantaneous.

    • utf_7 detection has been reinstated.

    🛠 Fixed

    • The CLI output used the relative path of the file(s). Should be absolute.
