@jjallaire and myself from @RcppCore will be there so if someone wants to hit us up in person...

I'm going to be bugging you that Rcpp should always convert to UTF8 when mapping between STRSXP and std::string.

:+1: for better UTF-8 policy.

adding another voice to this thread. @jeroenooms has helped get the IDN library setup in the win lib repo for my punycode pkg and it would really help if this was accounted for automagically (but it may also not be a straightforward mod to Rcpp).

Are you all aware of PR 310 to Rcpp which is in HEAD?

Additional testing can only help getting this released sooner rather than later so I await your reports :)

ZOMGOSH! Thx, Dirk! I shall test today!

Did a rev.dep test last week, and it doesn't seem to disturb the existing eco-system. But some specific testing to utf-8 and alike would be really welcome.

(And belated CC and thanks to @thirdwing which should have gone in last tweet)
