Re: Lower case to upper case german ess-zet

["Luis Ramirez" <luisramirez22 gmail com>]

Thanks for your comments. I have entered the enclosed code in the begining
and I get:

Headers version: 2.12
    Lib version: 2.12

I have compiled the code in GNU/Linux and in Windows XP with Mingw and I get
the same version 2.12, and the same results.
Which version do you have used?

Best regards

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    gchar *strLower = "\xc3\x9f"; //"ß";

    printf("\nHeaders version: %d.%d", GLIB_MAJOR_VERSION,
GLIB_MINOR_VERSION);
    printf("\n    Lib version: %d.%d", glib_major_version,
glib_minor_version);
