Description

When producing the RC bits for 3.3.1, the releasedocmaker step failed.

UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character '\xdc' in position 71: ordinal not in range(128)

It turns out if the script reads jiras containing ascended characters, it can't write the report.

Inside docker container, the default locale is "ANSI_X3.4-1968". Must set it to utf-8 to support special characters.

Curious why it wasn't a problem before.
