Crash with special characters

Hello,

just wanted to let you know that 1.0.1 is instantly crashing with an assert error if you enter characters like “ö” or “ä” in the code editor - I think PQ93 should handle these types of inputs more gracefully :-)

This is probably because you released a debug build as 1.0.1 which has some asserts active for debugging. Also, if I can make a suggestion, maybe you could create a github project just for issue handling / tracking?

Hi! PQ93 currently only supports ASCII text. The assert is not actually mine; it's in the C runtime.

My bad for assuming chars outside the ASCII range would be sensibly cast, and not bothering to test that -- in any case, I will let you know when this is fixed.

Ideally I should just add proper UTF-8 support.

Thank you.
