Grubba fixed a string bug that looks pretty nasty for some special
edge cases, so despite not being the first Tuesday of the month,
here's a beta.
Pike 8.0.384 beta/release candidate:

Changes since Pike 8.0.370 (release 6)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug fixes
---------
o String character range
Fixed a bug where a string could incorrectly have it's character
range start point set to 0 when added with an empty string. This in
turn would incorrectly block the string from being used by functions
that require strings without null characters as argument or
incorrectly take optimization paths.
o VCDiff
Fixed type of decode_chunk().
o Parser.XML
UTF-8 encoded documents with initial BOM was not decoded correctly.
Serializing Parser.XML.Tree objects will now entity escape
characters that can not be encoded in the selected output charset.
