Changelog page is empty; use unicode for input

[Hans Joachim Desserud]

Use unicode when reading files from widelands-trunk as well when uploading maps.

Reference: https://docs.python.org/2/howto/unicode.html#reading-and-writing-unicode-data

This may need also a check for mysql encoding: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/charset-applications.html

----------
(Pointed out on IRC earlier today by mifritscher):
https://wl.widelands.org/changelog/ returns an empty page without a changelog.

I suspect this might be one of the things not carried over when the website was updated.

There was a character in the changelog that was illegal for markdown, therefor the changelog would not render correctly. Fixed.

[GunChleoc (gunchleoc)]

This has regressed.

[kaputtnik (franku)]

Same as #1.

See: https://code.launchpad.net/~widelands-dev/widelands/fix_changelog_for_website/+merge/310085

[kaputtnik (franku)]

Maybe should add a check for invalid characters?

[GunChleoc (gunchleoc)]

Or even better, support Unicode. A curly quote shouldn't break stuff.

[kaputtnik (franku)]

Yes, that's better :-)

I had set the encoding in editor to something different to see the bad character, and had forgotten that i changed this, so i thought the bad character was introduced by some magic :-S :-D

Lets leave this bug open if the branch is merged. I change the Bug description tomorrow to something like "Use unicode when reading files from trunk"

[GunChleoc (gunchleoc)]

Sounds like a plan.
