Title: Manifest is read in with binary encoding

The manifest is read in as binary. This patch makes the manifest read in as UTF-8. I'm not sure UTF-8 is the correct solution because the manifest is meant to keep a list of filenames. The filename encoding probably depends on the encoding of the filesystem.

Though, I'd argue it's best to standardize on utf-8 because probably not everyone will have the same filesystem encoding, and that means the manifest would not work correctly.
