Dear WampServer Forum Administrators,
I would like to bring to your attention an issue regarding the absence of UTF8 character set in the latest versions of WampServer. Specifically, the lack of UTF8 support has caused problems when working with previously encoded databases using utf8_turkish_ci collation. The mandatory use of the UTF8MB4 character set in the newer versions of MySQL has created compatibility issues with our existing databases.
We have encountered difficulties while trying to import databases that were originally created with the UTF8 character set, as the option for selecting UTF8 is no longer available. This has led to errors and inconsistencies when working with our applications and scripts.
UTF8 has been widely used and supported in many applications and systems, and its absence in the latest WampServer versions has caused inconvenience for developers who rely on this character set.
We kindly request that you address this issue and consider reintroducing the UTF8 character set in future versions of WampServer. This would greatly facilitate the migration of existing databases and ensure compatibility with applications that depend on the UTF8 encoding.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. We appreciate your efforts in providing a reliable development environment.
Sincerely,
Yılmaz DURU
