specify an error handling scheme for character conversion. Additional scheme "utf-8" in read mode. Unicode input filenames are now supported by design. The values of the pax_headers dictionary are now limited to unicode objects. Fixed: The prefix field is no longer used in PAX_FORMAT (in conformance with POSIX). Fixed: In read mode use a possible pax header size field. Fixed: Strip trailing slashes from pax header name values. Fixed: Give values in user-specified pax_headers precedence when writing. Added unicode tests. Added pax/regtype4 member to testtar.tar all possible number fields in a pax header. Added two chapters to the documentation about the different formats tarfile.py supports and how unicode issues are handled.
