Core
+- The UTF-16 codec was modified to be more RFC compliant. It will now
+ only remove BOM characters at the start of the string and then
+ only if running in native mode (UTF-16-LE and -BE won't remove a
+ leading BMO character).
+
- Strings now have a new method .decode() to complement the already
existing .encode() method. These two methods provide direct access
to the corresponding decoders and encoders of the registered codecs.
