during the decoding of an invalid UTF-8 byte sequence, only the start byte
and the continuation byte(s) are now considered invalid, instead of the
number of bytes specified by the start byte. E.g.:
'\xf1\x80AB'.decode('utf-8', 'replace') now returns u'\ufffdAB' and replaces
with U+FFFD only the start byte ('\xf1') and the continuation byte ('\x80')
even if '\xf1' is the start byte of a 4-bytes sequence. Previous versions
returned a single u'\ufffd'.

Remove bogus "Overriding __cmp__ blocks inheritance of __hash__ in 3.x"
warning. Also fix "XXX undetected error" that arises from the "Overriding
__eq__ blocks inheritance ..." warning when turned into an exception: in
this case the exception simply gets ignored.

Fix two issues with comparisons between complex and integer objects. (1)
The comparison could incorrectly return True in some cases (2**53+1 ==
complex(2**53) == 2**53), breaking transivity of equality. (2) The
comparison raised an OverflowError for large integers, leading to
unpredictable exceptions when combining integers and complex objects in sets
or dicts.

Implicit coercion for the complex type is now completely removed. (Coercion
for arithmetic operations was already removed in 2.7 alpha 4, but coercion
for rich comparisons was accidentally left in.)

A new C API function, :cfunc:`PySys_SetArgvEx`, allows embedders of the

`CVE-2008-5983
<http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-5983>`_.
