[logback-user] ConsoleAppender/FileAppender encoding

[Ceki Gülcü]

Due to a bug, the following snippet which normally should work, fails miserably.

<appender name="STDOUT" class="ch.qos.logback.core.ConsoleAppender">
   <encoder>
     <pattern>%d %t [%-5level] - %-40class{40} - %msg%n</pattern>
     <charset>UTF-8</charset>
   </encoder>
</appender>

The fix is in git and will be part of 0.9.20.
