May be it's a more accurate name, but earlier versions recognizes encoding automatically, and now I should change it manual before loading every new file.

In the new version 1.1.1 I have "Default (Windows-1252) instead former option "Auto" in Subtitles > Default encoding. Now I should to switch the encoding any time I have different encoding of my russian subtiles file: 1251, KOI8-R, Unicode. Manual setting works good, but it's not good...

After setting the default encoding as "Cyrillic (Windows-1251)" it shows correctly.

I confirm the same problem with CP1251 (cyrillic, russian) subtitles after upgrade to 1.1.0 version of VLC player for Windows.
