I just upgraded to the latest version which includes the encoding change.

This has broken project configuration - I ma unable to change the configuration
of any project. I get an error in firefox "Too much recursion" at this line
window.onload = function() { if(oldOnLoadFortasksDefaultEncoding)
oldOnLoadFortasksDefaultEncoding();

IE just gives me an exception.

The only way to fix this has been to disable all of the static analysis plugins.
