Can't serialize struct with Encoder about serde-bencode HOT 3 CLOSED

Great find. It looks like the encoder is having trouble serializing None values in structs. I have a fix in mind and will update and do another release.

Also, just fyi -- this won't work: let info_str: String = String::from_utf8(info_ser).unwrap(); because there are non utf-8 bytes in .torrent files.

Ah, I had a feeling that might be it. Have switched to bip_bencode for the moment, but the API feels much more cumbersome. So if will be keeping an eye on this repo for potential fix :) Also you saved me so much grief by pointing out that UTF8 thing... cheers.

Ok I published a fix to this, so it should work now. I need to rethink how the serialization state machine works though, it's a bit messy. Serde is currently in pretty active development so I'll probably wait for it to stabilize a bit before pushing the next version.

The fix is in version serde_bencode = "0.1.2".
