I use twittering-mode and that package calls function 
epa--decode-coding-string

That function appears to have disappeared in the latest Emacs @Github.
Symbol's function definition is void: epa--decode-coding-string

It seems epa--decode-coding-string was an alias of
decode-coding-string.  So use decode-coding-string instead.

Right, I removed it because it was internal alias used by epa.el, I
didn't expect other packages to be using that instead of
decode-coding-string. Should I put it back as an obsolete alias?

Not sure.  Maybe we should wait and see if any other package used
those functions, before we install obsolete aliases.  For now I added
to NEWS the announcement that these aliases have been removed.

I wouldn't. The two hyphens mean that it was an internal function, so authors of 
other packages were already warned that it can go away without notice. If we 
started to worry about supporting external uses of internal functions, why 
bother to mark functions internal in the first place?
