My b2evolution Version: Not Entered

I'm trying to stop b2evolution from encoding RSS feeds because it seems to cause problems with importing feeds on our site.

At the moment for the character - is encoded into ….

Is there anyway to keep the characters without encoding?

I looked at the rss skin and I suspect the reason is this:
$content = $Item->get_excerpt( 'entityencoded' );

How can change the behaviour?
