 Core and builtins
 -----------------
 
+- Implemented PEP 3101, Advanced String Formatting.  This adds a new
+  builtin format(); a format() method for str and unicode; a
+  __format__() method to object, str, unicode, int, long, float, and
+  datetime; the class string.Formatter; and the C API
+  PyObject_Format().

 - Fixed several potential crashes, all caused by specially crafted __del__
   methods exploiting objects in temporarily inconsistent state.
