The *convert_charrefs* argument of :class:`~html.parser.HTMLParser` is
now ``True`` by default (contributed by Berker Peksag in :issue:`21047`).
+* Although it is not formally part of the API, it is worth noting for porting
+ purposes (ie: fixing tests) that error messages that were previously of the
+ form "'sometype' does not support the buffer protocol" are now of the form "a
+ bytes-like object is required, not 'sometype'" (contributed by Ezio Melotti
+ in :issue:`16518`).
