Core and Builtins ----------------- +- Issue #8271: during the decoding of an invalid UTF-8 byte sequence, only the + start byte and the continuation byte(s) are now considered invalid, instead + of the number of bytes specified by the start byte. + E.g.: '\xf1\x80AB'.decode('utf-8', 'replace') now returns u'\ufffdAB' and + replaces with U+FFFD only the start byte ('\xf1') and the continuation byte + ('\x80') even if '\xf1' is the start byte of a 4-bytes sequence. + Previous versions returned a single u'\ufffd'. + - Issue #9011: A negated imaginary literal (e.g., "-7j") now has real part -0.0 rather than 0.0. So "-7j" is now exactly equivalent to "-(7j)". |
