-## New encoding keyword for configure_file
-
-Add a new keyword to [`configure_file()`](#Reference-manual.md#configure_file)
-that allows the developer to specify the input and output file encoding.
-
-If the file encoding of the input is not UTF-8 meson can crash (see #1542).
-A crash as with UTF-16 is the best case and the worst meson will silently
-corrupt the output file for example with ISO-2022-JP. For additional details
-see pull request #3135.
-
-The new keyword defaults to UTF-8 and the documentation strongly suggest to
-convert the file to UTF-8 when possible.
