Hi,

It seems that element "encoding" is no more recognized in Console/FileAppender so maybe I missed something (no more reference in documentation) but I did not find what :(
Here is my (new) configuration (logback 0.9.19)

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

And the corresponding output at runtime:

[...]
15:58:29,127 |-INFO in ch.qos.logback.core.joran.action.AppenderAction - About to instantiate appender of type [ch.qos.logback.core.ConsoleAppender]
15:58:29,146 |-INFO in ch.qos.logback.core.joran.action.AppenderAction - Naming appender as [STDOUT]

15:58:29,226 |-ERROR in ch.qos.logback.core.joran.spi.Interpreter@7:13 - no applicable action for [encoding], current pattern is [[configuration][appender][encoding]]

15:58:29,403 |-INFO in ch.qos.logback.core.joran.action.AppenderRefAction - Attaching appender named [STDOUT] to Logger[org.barracudamvc]

Any suggestion on what could be wrong?
Thanks
