[New] (Car) EditField.TextFont: now supports two new metafonts,
            "System.UTF8" and "System.UTF16".  These produce the same
            visual display as System, but cause the text returned by
            .Text or .SelText to be in the indicated Unicode format,
            rather than the encoding associated with the system font.
            Note: in a styled EditField, you can still display a
            mixture of fonts by using SelTextFont.

Can we get Monaco.UTF8, Geneva.UTF8, etc? This will be much more useful!

But its a great start!

[Fix] (Car) EditField: Text and SelText properties now return a string
            with a known encoding (whatever encoding is associated
            with the field's TextFont).

Hmmm, well it may be useful.


[Fix] (All) Len: now correctly calculates the length of a UTF-8 string
            (previous calculation was off by one or so).

Useful for some situations. Although I personally would use either bytes or my UTF32 class.

[Fix] (Mac) Memory: several leaks have now been fixed.

YAY!

[Fix] (Car) Strings: no longer performs unnecessary string encoding
conversions, which slowed down the Carbon IDE under Classic.

Good.
