Perhaps Exception is not the best thing to catch.

+1 - I had someone use a unicode dash instead of a minus in a URL, threw Incorrect Padding instead of a signature related exception.

I'm on board with the exception fix, but why is there an unrelated change that makes invalid data into valid tokens?

It's not unrelated, but I guess the PR's name implies a smaller scope.

Characters that are invalid base64 are first ignored, then decoding proceeds. Decoding could still fail because of bad data, though.

That's not something that should happen. Invalid data is invalid, the fact that removing some characters might produce a valid signature doesn't matter. If that's something you want to happen, write a custom Serializer subclass (although you should probably fix the thing sending you bad data instead).

Rebased with just the exception handling in ec69312.

Version 1.1.0
-------------

Released 2018-10-26

-   Change default signing algorithm back to SHA-1. (`#113`_)
-   Added a default SHA-512 fallback for users who used the yanked 1.0.0
    release which defaulted to SHA-512. (`#114`_)
-   Add support for fallback algorithms during deserialization to
    support changing the default in the future without breaking existing
    signatures. (`#113`_)
-   Changed capitalization of packages back to lowercase as the change
    in capitalization broke some tooling. (`#113`_)

Version 1.0.0
-------------

Released 2018-10-18

YANKED

*Note*: This release was yanked from PyPI because it changed the default
algorithm to SHA-512. This decision was reverted in 1.1.0 and it remains
at SHA1.

-   Drop support for Python 2.6 and 3.3.
-   Refactor code from a single module to a package. Any object in the
    API docs is still importable from the top-level ``itsdangerous``
    name, but other imports will need to be changed. A future release
    will remove many of these compatibility imports. (`#107`_)
-   Optimize how timestamps are serialized and deserialized. (`#13`_)
-   ``base64_decode`` raises ``BadData`` when it is passed invalid data.
    (`#27`_)
-   Ensure value is bytes when signing to avoid a ``TypeError`` on
    Python 3. (`#29`_)
-   Add a ``serializer_kwargs`` argument to ``Serializer``, which is
    passed to ``dumps`` during ``dump_payload``. (`#36`_)
-   More compact JSON dumps for unicode strings. (`#38`_)
-   Use the full timestamp rather than an offset, allowing dates before
    2011. (`#46`_)
-   Detect a ``sep`` character that may show up in the signature itself
    and raise a ``ValueError``. (`#62`_)
-   Use a consistent signature for keyword arguments for
    ``Serializer.load_payload`` in subclasses. (`#74`_, `#75`_)
-   Change default intermediate hash from SHA-1 to SHA-512. (`#80`_)
-   Convert JWS exp header to an int when loading. (`#99`_)
