 - Issue #14132: Fix urllib.request redirect handling when the target only has
   a query string.  Original fix by Ján Janech.
 
+- Issue #17214: The "urllib.request" module now percent-encodes non-ASCII
+  bytes found in redirect target URLs.  Some servers send Location header
+  fields with non-ASCII bytes, but "http.client" requires the request target
+  to be ASCII-encodable, otherwise a UnicodeEncodeError is raised.  Based on
+  patch by Christian Heimes.
