- Patch #1220874: Update the binhex module for Mach-O.
+- The email package has improved RFC 2231 support, specifically for
+ recognizing the difference between encoded (name*0*=<blah>) and non-encoded
+ (name*0=<blah>) parameter continuations. This may change the types of
+ values returned from email.message.Message.get_param() and friends.
+ Specifically in some cases where non-encoded continuations were used,
+ get_param() used to return a 3-tuple of (None, None, string) whereas now it
+ will just return the string (since non-encoded continuations don't have
+ charset and language parts).
+
+ Also, whereas % values were decoded in all parameter continuations, they are
+ now only decoded in encoded parameter parts.
