Changelog
=========
+* :bug:`285` (also :issue:`352`) Update our Python 3 ``b()`` compatibility shim
+ to handle ``buffer`` objects correctly; this fixes a frequently reported
+ issue affecting many users, including users of the ``bzr`` software suite.
+ Thanks to ``@basictheprogram`` for the initial report, Jelmer Vernooij for
+ the fix and Andrew Starr-Bochicchio & Jeremy T. Bouse (among others) for
+ discussion & feedback.
* :release:`1.14.0 <2014-05-07>`
* :release:`1.13.1 <2014-05-07>`
* :release:`1.12.4 <2014-05-07>`
