Salt 2018.3.0 Release Notes - Codename Oxygen
=============================================
Unicode/Python 3 Compatibility Improvements
-------------------------------------------
This release fixes a number of nagging issues with Unicode strings in Salt
under Python 2 (ex. ``'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xd0``). For best
results, use a UTF-8 locale (such as by setting the ``LANG`` environment
variable to one which supports UTF-8. For example ``en_US.UTF-8``,
``de_DE.UTF-8``, ``ru_RU.UTF-8``, ``C.UTF-8``).
Additionally, a number of Python 3 compatibility fixes have been made, many of
them having to do with file I/O and str/bytes mismatches.
We continue to work toward improving both Unicode and Python 3 compatibility
and welcome any feedback.
Lots of Docker Improvements
