I believe 3.2.0b3 will not translate numeric entities where the number is larger than 255. 3.1.5 does, but it's a bug, because it only used 8 bit characters internally, so it only keeps the bottom 8 bits of this number. Because in 3.2.0b3 the numeric entity isn't converted, the "&" goes into the excerpt literally, and so it's turned into an & entity on output so it should display literally as "&", so you will see the numeric entity. Given the 8-bit character set limitations in both 3.1 and 3.2, I thing that 3.2's behaviour is the lesser of two evils when it comes to handling numeric entities above 255. -- Gilles R.
