enccoding error

[ulibws]

After update to MicroPython v1.29.0 on 2026-08-24 on Raspberry Pi Pico W with RP2040 i get the following error message from the ftplib "LookupError: unknown encoding: latin-1"

[sosi-deadeye]

latin-1 was never fully supported with Micropython. This relase removed it: https://github.com/micropython/micropython/releases#release-v1.29.0

You could try to change the encoding in ftplib to utf8.

Additional information
In the past latin-1 was used with old ftp servers. Modern ftp servers supports UTF8 encoding.
