Log Message:
Update to 1.27

Upstream changes:
2015-10-21   Sean M. Burke  sburke@cpan.org
	* RELEASE 1.27.  (Stable.)
	The release, 1.25_01, didn't blow up, so this is just
	a re-release of it as a normal ("stable") version.
	* Minor changes to the documentation.  Nothing substantial.
	* Release 1.26 had a confusing mistake in the ChangeLog.
	Ignore v1.26.

2015-10-21   Sean M. Burke  sburke@cpan.org
	* RELEASE 1.26.  Mistake.  See above for change notes
	between v1.25_01 and v1.27.

2015-10-16   Sean M. Burke  sburke@cpan.org
	* RELEASE 1.25_01.
	* !DEVELOPER RELEASE!, OH GOD HELP US ALL!

	* Here's a new thing that makes me nervous and hesitant, and that I've
	been talking myself into for weeks:

	  **************************************************************
	  *  I've switched to accepting values in the range 0x80-0x9F  *
	  *  as if they are the Windows-1252 ("ANSI") characters.      *
	  **************************************************************

	Previously they had all mapped to emptystring.

	Technically, Unicode specifies those codepoints as control characters
	that I've never heard of, "C1 Controls"...
	  ...
	  U+0087 ESA - End of Selected Area
	  U+0088 HTS - Character (Horizontal) Tabulation Set
	  U+0089 HTJ - Character (Horizontal) Tabulation with Justification
	  ...
	( See "C1" in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C0_and_C1_control_codes )

	And Unidecode mapped all of those to emptystring.  Now they are treated
	as if you fed the Windows-1252 characters, as that is an extremely
	common thing to have happen.

	So if you feed character value 0x80 to it, it is taken to mean \ 
"��"
	(which Unidecode then decodes as "EUR", at the moment at least).
	(This doesn't interfere with the fact that U+20AC is the proper
	Unicode	place for the "��" to be found.)

	And the smartquotes at 0x91 to 0x94, �� �� �� \ 
�� turn into ' ' " " so yaaaay!

	Note that in theory, according to C1 Controls, 0x85 is "NEL: Next
	Line", "Equivalent to CR+LF. Used to mark end-of-line on some IBM
	mainframes."
	I could map this to \n or \r\n or whatever, but I've never seen 0x85 in
	use in the wild, and I never heard anyone complain about my not having
	mapped it to "\n" in all the Unidecode versions since the first, in 2001.
	So instead, Unidecode takes 0x85 as its Windows-1252 value, the
	ellipsis "��" which of course it Unidecodes as "..."

	I'm not thrilled with the idea of going off spec but I think this
	should be okay, and it has massive DWIM value.
	Let's hope I'm not dividing Unicode times infinity by zero and then the
	whole universe will disa

	That's why I'm making this a developer release.  Unless anything
	besplodes by November 1st, I'll re-issue this as a stable release.
