BufferedFile.readline() is - unchanged and returns text strings assuming the file is utf-8 encoded. - This should fix the following issue: - http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.sysutils.backup.obnam/252 - Thanks Antoine Brenner +* :bug:`-` `paramiko.file.BufferedFile.read` incorrectly returned text strings + after the Python 3 migration, despite bytes being more appropriate for file + contents (which may be binary or of an unknown encoding.) This has been + addressed. + + .. note:: + `paramiko.file.BufferedFile.readline` continues to return strings, not + bytes, as "lines" only make sense for textual data. It assumes UTF-8 by + default. + + This should fix `this issue raised on the Obnam mailing list + <http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.sysutils.backup.obnam/252>`_. Thanks + to Antoine Brenner for the patch. * :bug:`-` Added self.args for exception classes. Used for unpickling. Related to (`Fabric #986 <https://github.com/fabric/fabric/issues/986>`_, `Fabric #714 <https://github.com/fabric/fabric/issues/714>`_). Thanks to Alex |
