The :mod:`plistlib` module no longer accepts entity declarations in XML
plist files to avoid XML vulnerabilities. This should not affect users as
entity declarations are not used in regular plist files.

If the ``nl_langinfo(CODESET)`` function returns an empty string, Python now

Fixed a bug in the PEG parser that was causing crashes in debug mode. Now
errors are checked in left-recursive rules to avoid cases where such errors
do not get handled in time and appear as long-distance crashes in other
places.

Fix a bug in the parser, where a curly brace following a `primary` didn't
fail immediately. This led to invalid expressions like `a {b}` to throw a
:exc:`SyntaxError` with a wrong offset, or invalid expressions ending with a
curly brace like `a {` to not fail immediately in the REPL.

Run the parser two times. On the first run, disable all the rules that only
generate better error messages to gain performance. If there's a parse
failure, run the parser a second time with those enabled.
