title: Incredible Disappearing ENCODING_CLAIMS
---

<p>
Apparently <code>REXML::Encoding::ENCODING_CLAIMS</code> has conveniently disappeared from <a href='http://www.germane-software.com/'>REXML</a>.  This change broke both the stable and development versions of <a href='http://www.raggle.org/'>Raggle</a>.  For those of you who are curious, I wrote up <a href='http://www.raggle.org/docs/encoding_claims_workaround/'>this small blurb</a> describing the problem and the solution.
