I've recently moved from 7.0.3 to 7.1.1-rc and found missing UTF8StringsAsWideField property in TZConnection component. Since then i've problems with retriving fields containing national chars.

whether it was a deliberate action or this property has been moved somewhere else ?

This property was alredy deprected on 7.0 and is removed on 7.1+

Which encoding issues do you have? Which protocol? Which IDE?
