PyMarshal_ReadLastObjectFromFile, which doesn't bring any noticeable
benefit compared to the dynamic memory allocation fallback. Patch by
Charles-François Natali.
Instead of spaces between the filename and date (or whatever the string
is that follows the filename, if any) use tabs. This is what the unix
'diff' command does, for example, and difflib was intended to follow
the 'standard' way of doing diffs. This improves compatibility with
patch tools. The docs and examples are also changed to recommended that
the date format used be the ISO 8601 format, which is what modern diff
tools emit by default.

base64 transfer-encoded payload *after* decoding it; it no longer does.
email had a special method in utils, _bdecode, specifically to do this,
so it must have served a purpose at some point, yet it is clearly wrong
per RFC. Fixed with Barry's approval, but no backport. Email package
minor version number is bumped, now version 4.0.1.

of the 'canonical' and 'is_canonical' methods) now consistently accept
integer arguments wherever a Decimal instance is accepted. Thanks
Juan José Conti for the patch.
writeback=True values are written to the backing store when assigned to
the shelf. Add test to confirm that this happens. Doc patch and added
test by Robert Lehmann. I also fixed the cross references to the sync
and close methods.
in XML processing instructions and comments. These raw characters are
allowed by the XML specification, and are necessary when outputting e.g.
PHP code in a processing instruction. Patch by Neil Muller.
and read operations on write-only file objects. On Windows, the system C
library would return a bogus result; on Solaris, it was possible to crash
the interpreter. Patch by Stefan Krah.
file position when calling `truncate()`. It would previously change the
file position to the given argument, which goes against the tradition of
ftruncate() and other truncation APIs. Patch by Pascal Chambon.
to make sure it fell within [-1, 1] just in case someone implementing
strftime() in libc was stupid enough to assume this. Turns out, though, some
OSs (e.g. zOS) are stupid enough to use values outside of this range for time
structs created by the system itself. So instead of throwing a ValueError,
tm_isdst is now normalized before being passed to strftime().
Fixes issue #6823. Thanks Robert Shapiro for diagnosing the problem and
contributing an initial patch.
