ftfy v5.5 Release Notes

Release Date: 2018-09-06 // over 5 years ago

    • Recent versions have emphasized making a reasonable attempt to fix short, common mojibake sequences, such as û. In this version, we've expanded the heuristics to recognize these sequences in MacRoman as well as Windows-125x encodings.

    • 🏁 A related rule for fixing isolated Windows-1252/UTF-8 mixups, even when they were inconsistent with the rest of the string, claimed to work on Latin-1/UTF-8 mixups as well, but in practice it didn't. We've made the rule more robust.

    • 🛠 Fixed a failure when testing the CLI on Windows.

    • ✂ Removed the pytest-runner invocation from setup.py, as it created complex dependencies that would stop setup.py from working in some environments. The pytest command still works fine. pytest-runner is just too clever.
