Fwd: [jira] [Created] (LANG-991) Release notes cannot display special characters

Sebb, you have fixed this kind of problems before. Can you give a hint on
what to do here? I Think I remember that you changed something in SVN...

---------------------------------

             Summary: Release notes cannot display special characters
                 Key: LANG-991
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-991
             Project: Commons Lang
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Website
    Affects Versions: 3.3.1
            Reporter: Duncan Jones
            Priority: Minor


When viewing [the release notes|
http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-lang/release-notes/RELEASE-NOTES-3.3.1.txt]
online, special characters in some contributors names are not showing
correctly.

E.g. search for:

{noformat}
o LANG-951:  Fragments are wrong by 1 day when using fragment YEAR or MONTH.
             Thanks to Sebastian G�tz.
{noformat}

I'd guess we need to change the Maven resource encoding for this file,
although I've not yet had time to poke at the problem in any great detail.

That was to ensure that commit messages used the correct encoding; it
has no effect on HTML encoding.

When I view the page, my browser says it is in UTF-8
However the file appears to be in ISO-8859-1

We need to establish what is the correct setting for the website and
ensure that all files used on the website use that setting.
This needs to be done carefully to avoid breaking code; i.e. we should
not just change the encoding in the pom without checking for ill
effects.

As a work-round for the website display, it would be easy enough to
change the file in svnpubsub tree (not sure it can be done through the
CMS).
But going forward, the file encodings need to be carefully looked at.

Maybe there is a plugin that can check text files for mismatched encodings?
