boardgamegeekjsclient Strings are coming through encoded

Using the the latest version of the library (1.9.1), any string that contains certain characters (like apostrophes) are returned with encoding.

For example Dean's house becomes Dean's house

This seems to affect all free-text fields: player names, locations, color, comments (both in collection results and play logs).

Can strings please come through as they were written on BGG? Going directly to the API has them come through correctly, e.g. https://api.geekdo.com/xmlapi2/plays?username=Hammerstrike

@LearningProcesss this feels like it should be a quick fix? Do you have an ETA? If not I will have to make some corrections on my end because I have just had my second user affected by this problem.

Hey @LearningProcesss, sorry to be annoying on this one. I saw there was a branch for this with the fix 11 days ago but no change since then, is it close to being merged in?

Hey @LearningProcesss , just checking everything is okay? Been a while since we've heard from you!
