== Version 1.3 (under dev)
=== IRC channels encoding
If you are using exotic charsets in your channel names (anything different from
UTF-8, like ISO charset), you should turn on a new option:
----
/set irc.network.channel_encode on
----
This will force WeeChat to decode/encode the channel name
(like WeeChat 1.2 or older did).
See these issues for more information: issue #482, issue #218.
[NOTE]
It is *highly recommended* to use only UTF-8 in WeeChat (wherever you can),
because everything is stored as UTF-8 internally.
=== Alias command
The command `/alias` has been updated to list, add and remove aliases.
