For information @spenceur, Gladys Assistant v4.8.2, released this morning, is the first release.
This version does not fix your bug!
This version only adds the new encoding function, which will then be activated via a flag change in a future release, only when all instances are up to date and have the function.
The idea of doing this in 2 releases is to not break Gladys Plus, but to do it smoothly without service interruption.
