Updated to version 1.4.

Added test for Unicode string concatenation.

Added more documentation. Clarified some existing comments.

Fixed problem with Unicode string concatenation:
u = (u"abc" u"abc") previously dumped core.

Added test output for Unicode string concatenation test.

docstrings, the documentation guidelines call for "Unicode", not

Marc-Andre Lemburg:

Added encoding name attributes to wrapper classes which
allow applications to check the used encoding names.

The maxsplit functionality in .splitlines() was replaced by the keepends
functionality which allows keeping the line end markers together
with the string.

Added support for '%r' % obj: this inserts repr(obj) rather

Added a few missing whitespace Unicode char mappings.

The maxsplit functionality in .splitlines() was replaced by the keepends

Raises an exception when given a Unicode object *and* an
encoding name.

Added .writelines(), .readlines() and .readline() to all
codec classes.

Modified .splitlines() tests according to the changes
in stringobject.c.

Modified .splitlines() tests according to the changes
in unicodeobject.c.

Perhaps these should be added to the standard Python style file?

Lots of scattered wording changes.

IRIX, it doesn't even compile.  Added a cast: "where >= (char *)0".

Add descriptions for the system variables.

        Remove statement that the return value is always NULL; this is
        generated by the formatting.

        Fix description; lowercase and uppercase are strings, not
        functions!  Noted by Randall Hopper <aa8vb@yahoo.com>.
