PyPy v7.1 released; now uses utf-8 internally for unicode strings
The interpreters are based on much the same codebase, thus the double release.
This release, coming fast on the heels of 7.0 in February, finally merges the internal refactoring of unicode representation as UTF-8. Removing the conversions from strings to unicode internally lead to a nice speed bump. We merged the utf-8 changes to the py3.5 branch (Python3.5.3) but will concentrate on 3.6 going forward.
We also improved the ability to use the buffer protocol with ctype structures and arrays.
