+- Issue #1811: improve accuracy and cross-platform consistency for
+ true division of integers: the result of a/b is now correctly
+ rounded for ints a and b (at least on IEEE 754 platforms), and in
+ particular does not depend on the internal representation of a long.

- Issue #6108: unicode(exception) and str(exception) should return the same
