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?
