plistlib
--------
:mod:`plistlib` now supports binary plist files, and offers the common
``load``/``loads``/``dump``/``dumps`` API pattern for serialization formats
(Contributed by Ronald Oussoren and others in :issue:`14455`).
:mod:`plistlib` now has an API that is similar to the standard pattern for
stdlib serialization protocols, with new :func:`~plistlib.load`,
:func:`~plistlib.dump`, :func:`~plistlib.loads`, and :func:`~plistlib.dumps`
functions. (The older API is now deprecated.) In addition to the already
supported XML plist format (:data:`~plistlib.FMT_XML`), it also now supports
the binary plist format (:data:`~plistlib.FMT_BINARY`). (Contributed by Ronald
Oussoren and others in :issue:`14455`).

corresponding new functions :func:`~plistlib.load`, :func:`~plistlib.dump`,
