* Version 2.0.11
* Provide a much more detailed error report, including recommended
solutions, when character encoding problems hit.
As Python3 has slowly gained in popularity, its failure to provide
useful built-ins to handle real-world character encoding problems
hurts more people. (E.g., many files don't comply with *any*
character set encoding standard, and Python3 can't read them
without enabling options that are wrong for others.)
We can at least provide much more detailed feedback to help
explain the various options available.

* Version 2.0.10
* Use binary mode when reading a diffhitlist.
My thanks to Michał Górny, who both reported the problem
and provided the patch!
