CI 1.7.1 - Kludge to install - I had to hard-code 'utf8' into .\sytem\libraries\validation/php

[quote author="jalalski" date="1234563702"]on my install I have (in application/config/config.php line 80)
$config['charset'] = "UTF-8";

maybe you didn't copy over the config files?[/quote]

 
I followed the help instructions to upgrade from CI 1.7.0 to CI 1.7.1 and the requirements were to just copy the system directory.

I have just checked in CI 1.7.0 config.php file and the $config['charset'] is set. It looks as though I did not upgrade my last version correctly.

Many thanks for your help.
