[I18n-sig] JapaneseCodecs 1.4.9 released

[Tamito KAJIYAMA]

Hi,

I've released JapaneseCodecs 1.4.9.  The source tarball is
available at the following locations:

  http://www.asahi-net.or.jp/~rd6t-kjym/python/
  http://www.python.jp/Zope/download/JapaneseCodecs

Major changes in this release are as follows:

  - Changed the corresponding character to 0x2140 in JIS X 0208
    from U+005C (REVERSE SOLIDUS) to U+FF3C (FULLWIDTH REVERSE
    SOLIDUS).
  - Improved the compatibility of the UCS to MBCS mapping in
    MS932 with Windows. (Thanks to Atsuo ISHIMOTO and Masayuki
    MORIYAMA)
  - Improved encode() so that it accepts both Unicode and string 
    objects.
  - Improved UnicodeError messages so that 32-bit Unicode code
    points are properly escaped in the form \UXXXXXXXX.
  - Added japanese.windows-31j, an alias of japanese.ms932.

Regards,
