Integers in binary VDF are already treated as little-endian (least significant byte first) regardless of CPU architecture, but the 16-bit units in UTF-16 didn't get the same treatment. This led to a test failure on big-endian machines. Resolves: ValvePython#33 Signed-off-by: Simon McVittie <smcv@debian.org>

Sounds good to me. I don't know of any situation where something might use UTF-16BE, since UTF-16 is pretty much always Windows crap, and therefore LE. Thanks! |
