  -----------
  
+ - md5sum.py mistakenly opened input files in text mode by default, a
+   silent and dangerous change from previous releases.  It once again
+   opens input files in binary mode by default.  The -t and -b flags
+   remain for compatibility with the 2.3 release, but -b is the default
+   now.
+ 
  - py-electric-colon now works when pending-delete/delete-selection mode is
    in effect
