# 1.2.1
- use `#scrub` to (more selectively) strip invalid characters from strings before attempting to format. This allows valid japanese (and more) characters to be used. Thanks to @fukayatsu for reporting.

  This checks for the presence of the `scrub` method on string, so if on ruby < 2.1 you'll need to include & require the `string-scrub` gem to handle invalid characters.

# 1.2.0
- Strip invalid UTF-8 characters from message before attempting to format links. They are replaced with the unicode replacement character '[�](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specials_(Unicode_block)#Replacement_character)'. [@ushu #26]

# 1.1.0
- add ability to pass `:http_options` to the initializer or `#ping`. this allows you to set options like `read_timeout` or `open_timeout`. See [issue #17](https://github.com/stevenosloan/slack-notifier/issues/17) for more information.
