  * [Note] potools gains a logo featuring a [potoo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potoo) thanks to the artistic skills of @allisonhorst
  * [Feature] New function `po_explain_plurals()` to help de-mystify how to supply plurals for different languages. For example, `po_explain_plurals("pl", 3)` explains that "For Polish (Polski), plural index 2 applies when n = 0, 5-21, 25-31, 35-41, ...", [#278](https://github.com/MichaelChirico/potools/issues/278). Thanks @hadley for the suggestion to independently export this functionality which was already used as part of `translate_package()`.
  * [Bugfix] A test for non-GNU versions of `gettext` has been improved, [#221](https://github.com/MichaelChirico/potools/issues/221). Please report any issues here -- I don't have any good way of testing non-GNU tools.
+ * [Bugfix] .po files generated by {potools} will default to using `charset=UTF-8`, not `charset=ASCII`, to prevent encoding issues (@michaelchirico, [#299](https://github.com/MichaelChirico/potools/issues/299)). Thanks @maelle for the report!
