-==========================

-*Release date: 04-Dec-2008*
-
-Core and Builtins
------------------
-
-- Issue #3996: On Windows, the PyOS_CheckStack function would cause the
- interpreter to abort ("Fatal Python error: Could not reset the stack!")
- instead of throwing a MemoryError.
-
-- Issue #4367: Python would segfault during compiling when the unicodedata
- module couldn't be imported and \N escapes were present.
-
-- Issue #4348: Some bytearray methods returned that didn't cause any change to
- the bytearray, returned the same bytearray instead of a copy.
-
-- Issue #4317: Fixed a crash in the imageop.rgb2rgb8() function.
-
-- Issue #4230: If ``__getattr__`` is a descriptor, it now functions correctly.
-
-- Issue #4048: The parser module now correctly validates relative imports.
-
-- Issue #4225: ``from __future__ import unicode_literals`` didn't work in an
- exec statement.
-
-- Issue #4176: Fixed a crash when pickling an object which ``__reduce__``
- method does not return iterators for the 4th and 5th items.
-
-- Issue #4209: Enabling unicode_literals and the print_function in the same
- __future__ import didn't work.
-
-- On windows, os.chdir given unicode was not working if GetCurrentDirectoryW
- returned a path longer than MAX_PATH. (But It's doubtful this code path is
- really executed because I cannot move to such directory on win2k)
-
-- Issue #4069: When set.remove(element) is used with a set element, the element
- is temporarily replaced with an equivalent frozenset. But the eventual
- KeyError would always report the empty frozenset([]) as the missing key. Now
- it correctly refers to the initial element.
-
-- Fixed C99 style comments in several files. Python is now C89 compatible
- again.

when protocol 0 is used.
