1. Non-ASCII bytes were accepted after shift sequence.
2. A low surrogate could be emitted in case of error in high surrogate.
3. In some circumstances the '\xfd' character was produced instead of the
replacement character '\ufffd' (due to a bug in _PyUnicodeWriter).

Issue #25227: Optimize ASCII and latin1 encoders with the ``surrogateescape``
error handler: the encoders are now up to 3 times as fast.
Initial patch written by Serhiy Storchaka.
ignore and replace. Initial patch written by Naoki Inada.
The decoder is now up to 60 times as fast for these error handlers.
Add also unit tests for the ASCII decoder.
This changes the equivalent functions listed for the Base-64, hex and Quoted-
Printable codecs to reflect the functions actually used. Also mention and
test the "quotetabs" setting for Quoted-Printable encoding.
- clarified the distinction between text encodings and other codecs
- clarified relationship with builtin open and the io module
- consolidated documentation of error handlers into one section
- clarified type constraints of some behaviours
- added tests for some of the new statements in the docs
The codecs themselves were restored in Python 3.2, this
completes the restoration by adding back the convenience
aliases.
These aliases were originally left out due to confusing
errors when attempting to use them with the text encoding
specific convenience methods. Python 3.4 includes several
improvements to those errors, thus permitting the aliases
to be restored as well.
str.encode, bytes.decode and bytearray.decode now use an
internal API to throw LookupError for known non-text encodings,
rather than attempting the encoding or decoding operation and
then throwing a TypeError for an unexpected output type.
The latter mechanism remains in place for third party non-text
encodings.
The zlib and hex codecs throw custom exception types with
weakref support if the input type is valid, but the data
fails validation. Make sure the exception chaining in the
codec infrastructure can wrap those as well.
The utf-16* and utf-32* encoders no longer allow surrogate code points
(U+D800-U+DFFF) to be encoded.
The utf-32* decoders no longer decode byte sequences that correspond to
surrogate code points.
The surrogatepass error handler now works with the utf-16* and utf-32* codecs.
