  * Lucida Console with the wrong code page and `bbackupquery -u`
 
-Log messages displayed on the console of `bbackupd` are still not converted to Unicode, so file names displayed there may be incorrect. At least it is now possible to fix this, as we have a standard logging infrastructure.

 Configuration files must be encoded in UTF-8. That includes `bbackupd.conf`. This is not a natural encoding for Windows and very few applications can read and write it properly. It should be possible to convert from the system default code page, but there is a risk that if you change the codepage, your backups will stop working. It might be possible to automatically detect if the configuration file is written in UTF-16 and load it correctly.
