This update fixes an issue when connection to a robot in general: in the last few weeks we found the connection not very stable. It mostly ran into time-out before it can be used. That was caused by the initial "status" command, which needs additional "enter key press"/empty commands to be send to the robot. The robot was waiting for that extra commands before it's possible to start with the normal communication.

The other change in this version is a long story of the different robot languages and character codings that are used for the same firmware in different configurations. Previously K-IDE loads the AS code depending on the K-IDE gui language. If you use the Engish gui language, AS code was loaded using UFT8. That prevents loading other AS code from different languages correctly. AS an example: if my colleagues here in Germany wants to take a look into an AS code from Spain, some of the code is translated wrong. A huge problem is the translation of the error code messages. In Spanish, the AS code is generated using Win1252 codec instead of UTF8. When opening the AS file using UTF8, there will be a problem in the error log translation.

NOW, with this fix, K-IDE tries to figure out the codepage that needs to be used for loading the AS file.

I tested the changes with my test-robot using different language settings and it worked very well. But there are no further test of any colleagues or customers, so please use this update with special care!

As always: feel free to download, install and test the new update and leave your comments! - Thank you!
