Upstream changes:
-----------------
:release:`1.14.0 <2014-05-07>`
------------------------------
🐛`-` 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.
Thanks to Antoine Brenner for the patch.
🐛`-` Added self.args for exception classes. Used for unpickling.
Related to (Fabric #986, Fabric #714). Thanks to Alex Plugaru.
