Description:
------------
The current news feed in RSS is not well-formed XML. It is 
explicitly declared as UTF-8, but then uses a non-UTF-8 
character sequence in a feed item (the word 
'Z<u-umlaut>rich').
This should be a valid UTF-8 sequence or an entity.

Was a fault reported against FeedReader:
http://sf.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1017295&grou
p_id=70179&atid=526863

This might be a dupe of bug #28450, reported in May, but I 
would not have thought that it would take so many months 
for a CVS change to propogate.

Where is it explicitly defined as UTF8? I can't find that.

The XML encoding is specified in the XML declaration of the file.

Goba, where is the code that generates this file?

Which machine I meant ;-)

No idea.

This bug has been fixed in CVS. Since the websites are not directly
updated from the CVS server, the fix might need some time to spread
across the globe to all mirror sites, including PHP.net itself.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP.net better.

Confirmed fixed, thanks.
