utf8 1.1.3 (2018-01-03)

CRAN release: 2018-01-03

MINOR IMPROVEMENTS

Make output_utf8() always return TRUE on Windows, so that characters in the user’s native locale don’t get escaped by utf8_encode(). The downside of this change is that on Windows, utf8_width() reports the wrong values for characters outside the user’s locale when stdout() is redirected by knitr or another process.
When truncating long strings strings via utf8_format(), use an ellipsis that is printable in the user’s native locale ("\u2026" or“…”`).
