Hello,

TStringStream now observes encoding, following the fix for:

https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=30508

Basically, this is a Delphi compatibility fix.

This may impact some programs which use encodings that deviate from the default system encoding.

In that case, the solution is to cast your string to RawByteString in the constructor, or explicitly specify an encoding.

If you want to avoid encoding problems, using a TBytesStream may be a better idea.

Michael.

Are these changes going to be merged to fixes_3_0? What first stable version it is going to appear in?

As it turned out, Lazarus sources are affected by this change too, so we need to get the correct {$IF FPC_FULLVERSION >= 30x0x}.

Thanks
