Bad character in jquery.i18n.js (UI release 1.8.17 zip)

[regisc]

/development-bundle/ui/i18n/jquery-ui-i18n.js contains a bad character (looks like a BOM) in the middle of the file. (look for "Dutch (Belgium)", bad char is just before the "/*")

Indeed. This was actually fixed last week with eee63a2e2435a6ecbcd0daa15f41b7bd5901e307. Did you just download this or did you download it a while ago? The 1.8.17 zips should be fixed. If they're not, please let me know where you got the bad zip from so we can fix it.

I downloaded the zip today from ​http://jqueryui.com/download/jquery-ui-1.8.17.custom.zip Thanks for looking into this.

Can you try now and verify whether it works for you?

Replying to scott.gonzalez:

Redownloaded the zip (url from 2), opened in vim and looked for "Dutch":

    $.datepicker.setDefaults($.datepicker.regional['ms']);
});<feff>/* Dutch (Belgium) initialisation for the jQuery UI date picker plugin.
/* David De Sloovere @DavidDeSloovere */
jQuery(function($){

Note the "<feff>", so still not good.

This seems to be broken in places that should have been fixed already. I'm trying to figure out what's going on.

Ok, it looks like only the minified files were fixed. I'm going to manually fix the other source nl-BE and concatenated file in the SVN tag and then regenerate the quick download. That should fix all the problems with the download builder. I'll let you know when it's done.

[Scott González]

Download should be working now. I tested with a custom download and the quick download, but would appreciate if you can confirm as well.
