…sed in decodings.

v3.1.1

Bump version

Only catch warnings in dbf record tests that encode ascii to utf-16-le

Trim all trailing null bytes, not just the first one (lots appear in test files)

Check string encodings end in pad bytes, and use minimum of them in decoding.

Remove unnecessary stream.seek(0)s and warning captures

Stop corruption! Of b" " in encoded field names (only corrupt U+0020 in strings)

Add test for unicode field string corruption

Sorry, something went wrong.

Uh oh!
