+* mbcs encoding doesn't ignore the error handler argument anymore. By default
+ (strict mode), it raises an UnicodeDecodeError on undecodable byte sequence
+ and UnicodeEncodeError on unencodable character. To get the mbcs encoding of
+ Python 3.1, use ``'ignore'`` error handler to decode and ``'replace'`` error
+ handler to encode. mbcs now supports ``'strict'`` and ``'ignore'`` error
+ handlers for decoding, and ``'strict'`` and ``'replace'`` for encoding.
