+Two smaller enhancements to the logging module are:
+
+.. rev79293
+
+* :class:`Logger` instances gained a :meth:`getChild` that retrieves a
+ descendant logger using a relative path. For example,
+ once you retrieve a logger by doing ``log = getLogger('app')``,
+ calling ``log.getChild('network.listen')`` is equivalent to
+ ``getLogger('app.network.listen')``.
+
+* The :class:`LoggerAdapter` class gained a :meth:`isEnabledFor` method
+ that takes a *level* and returns whether the underlying logger would
+ process a message of that level of importance.

of them -- but you can mix auto-numbering and named fields, as in the second
example above. (Contributed by Eric Smith; :issue:`5237`.)
- Complex numbers now correctly support usage with :func:`format`.
+ Complex numbers now correctly support usage with :func:`format`,
+ and default to being right-aligned.
Specifying a precision or comma-separation applies to both the real
and imaginary parts of the number, but a specified field width and
alignment is applied to the whole of the resulting ``1.5+3j``
- output. (Contributed by Eric Smith; :issue:`1588`.)
+ output. (Contributed by Eric Smith; :issue:`1588` and :issue:`7988`.)
The 'F' format code now always formats its output using uppercase characters,
so it will now produce 'INF' and 'NAN'.
Integer division is also more accurate in its rounding behaviours. (Also
implemented by Mark Dickinson; :issue:`1811`.)
+* It's now possible for a subclass of the built-in :class:`unicode` type
+ to override the :meth:`__unicode__` method. (Implemented by
+ Victor Stinner; :issue:`1583863`.)
+
* The :class:`bytearray` type's :meth:`translate` method now accepts
``None`` as its first argument. (Fixed by Georg Brandl;
:issue:`4759`.)
used with :class:`memoryview` instances and other similar buffer objects.
(Backported from 3.x by Florent Xicluna; :issue:`7703`.)
+* Updated module: the :mod:`bsddb` module has been updated from 4.7.2devel9
+ to version 4.8.4 of
+ `the pybsddb package <http://www.jcea.es/programacion/pybsddb.htm>`__.
+ The new version features better Python 3.x compatibility, various bug fixes,
+ and adds several new BerkeleyDB flags and methods.
+ (Updated by Jesús Cea Avion; :issue:`8156`. The pybsddb
+ changelog can be browsed at http://hg.jcea.es/pybsddb/file/tip/ChangeLog.)
+
* The :mod:`bz2` module's :class:`BZ2File` now supports the context
management protocol, so you can write ``with bz2.BZ2File(...) as f: ...``.
(Contributed by Hagen Fuerstenau; :issue:`3860`.)
``Decimal('0.1000000000000000055511151231257827021181583404541015625')``.
(Implemented by Raymond Hettinger; :issue:`4796`.)
+ Most of the methods of the :class:`Context` class now accept integers
+ as well as :class:`Decimal` instances; the only exceptions are the
+ :meth:`canonical` and :meth:`is_canonical` methods. (Patch by
+ Juan José Conti; :issue:`7633`.)
+
The constructor for :class:`Decimal` now accepts non-European
Unicode characters, such as Arabic-Indic digits. (Contributed by
Mark Dickinson; :issue:`6595`.)
:mod:`gzip` module will now consume these trailing bytes. (Fixed by
Tadek Pietraszek and Brian Curtin; :issue:`2846`.)
+* New attribute: the :mod:`hashlib` module now has an :attr:`algorithms`
+ attribute containing a tuple naming the supported algorithms.
+ In Python 2.7, ``hashlib.algorithms`` contains
+ ``('md5', 'sha1', 'sha224', 'sha256', 'sha384', 'sha512')``
+ (Contributed by Carl Chenet; :issue:`7418`.)
+
* The default :class:`HTTPResponse` class used by the :mod:`httplib` module now
supports buffering, resulting in much faster reading of HTTP responses.
(Contributed by Kristjan Valur Jonsson; :issue:`4879`.)
the child process; this fixes problems on Solaris when :func:`fork`
is called from a thread. (Fixed by Zsolt Cserna; :issue:`7242`.)
- The :func:`normpath` function now preserves Unicode; if its input path
+* In the :mod:`os.path` module, the :func:`normpath` and
+ :func:`abspath` functions now preserve Unicode; if their input path
is a Unicode string, the return value is also a Unicode string.

+ (:meth:`normpath` fixed by Matt Giuca in :issue:`5827`;
+ :meth:`abspath` fixed by Ezio Melotti in :issue:`3426`.)
* The :mod:`pydoc` module now has help for the various symbols that Python
uses. You can now do ``help('<<')`` or ``help('@')``, for example.
a timeout was provided and the operation timed out.

-* The Unicode database has been updated to the version 5.2.0.
- (Updated by Florent Xicluna; :issue:`8024`.)
-
-* The Unicode database provided by the :mod:`unicodedata` is used
- internally to determine which characters are numeric, whitespace,
- or represent line breaks. The database also now includes information
- from the :file:`Unihan.txt` data file. (Patch by Anders Chrigström

+.. rev 78774
+
+Module- and class-level setup and teardown fixtures are now supported.
+Modules can contain :func:`setUpModule` and :func:`tearDownModule`
+functions. Classes can have :meth:`setUpClass` and
+:meth:`tearDownClass` methods that must be defined as class methods
+(using ``@classmethod`` or the equivalent). These functions and
+methods are invoked when the test runner switches to a test case in a
+different module or class.
+
The methods :meth:`addCleanup` and :meth:`doCleanups` were added.
:meth:`addCleanup` allows you to add cleanup functions that
will be called unconditionally (after :meth:`setUp` if
:meth:`setUp` fails, otherwise after :meth:`tearDown`). This allows
-for much simpler resource allocation and deallocation during tests.

A number of new methods were added that provide more specialized
tests. Many of these methods were written by Google engineers
