+## [9.4.2] - 2026-09-22
+
+### Fixed
+
+- A `\U` escape in a string literal is refused with the same error as `\u`:
+  `"caf\U00e9"` no longer lexes silently to `cafU00e9`.
+- An invalid date literal's error message keeps its non-ASCII characters:
+  `#2024-01-1é#` reports the character instead of one truncated byte, so the
+  message a host reads is valid UTF-8.
