Just happened to notice this at two forums I admin at, and also noticed the problem here on the main SMF site's RSS feed, so I know it's not an issue with any of the mods we use.

The issue happens to be in the RSS feed, any time there's the ' in a post, it's now showing a number code.  For example, if you have the word "can't" in your post, the RSS feed shows it as "can'#039t".

This issue is also affecting the ampersand in posts too.  "&" in the actual post, but now "&amp" when seen in the RSS feed.

None of this was happening in 2.0.17, so something got changed that broke this and should be looked into and fixed soon.
