+- Issue #7066: archive_util.make_archive now restores the cwd if an error is
+ raised. Initial patch by Ezio Melotti.

- Issue #5006: Better handling of unicode byte-order marks (BOM) in the io
library. This means, for example, that opening an UTF-16 text file in append
mode doesn't add a BOM at the end of the file if the file isn't empty.
