html
----
Added a new :func:`html.unescape` function that converts HTML5 character
references to the corresponding Unicode characters.

New function :func:`~html.unescape` function converts HTML5 character references to
the corresponding Unicode characters. (Contributed by Ezio Melotti in
:issue:`2927`)
Added a new *convert_charrefs* keyword argument to
:class:`~html.parser.HTMLParser` that, when ``True``, automatically converts
all character references. For backward-compatibility, its value defaults
to ``False``, but it will change to ``True`` in future versions, so you
are invited to set it explicitly and update your code to use this new feature.

:class:`~html.parser.HTMLParser` accepts a new keyword argument
*convert_charrefs* that, when ``True``, automatically converts all character
references. For backward-compatibility, its value defaults to ``False``, but
it will change to ``True`` in a future version of Python, so you are invited to
set it explicitly and update your code to use this new feature. (Contributed

The *strict* argument of :class:`~html.parser.HTMLParser` is now deprecated.

* :mod:`audioop` functions now raise an error immediately if passed string
input, instead of failing randomly later on (:issue:`16685`).
* The new *convert_charrefs* argument to :class:`~html.parser.HTMLParser`
currently defaults to ``False`` for backward compatibility, but will
eventually be changed to default to ``True``. It is recommended that you add
this keyword, with the appropriate value, to any
:class:`~html.parser.HTMLParser` calls in your code.
