+\item The method resolution order used by new-style classes has
+changed, though you'll only notice the difference if you have a really
+complicated inheritance hierarchy. (Classic classes are unaffected by
+this change.) Python 2.2 originally used a topological sort of a
+class's ancestors, but 2.3 now uses the C3 algorithm as described in
+\citetitle[http://www.webcom.com/haahr/dylan/linearization-oopsla96.html]{``A
+Monotonic Superclass Linearization for Dylan''}. To understand the

+Samuele Pedroni first pointed out the problem and also implemented the
+fix by coding the C3 algorithm.

\item Python runs multithreaded programs by switching between threads
after executing N bytecodes. The default value for N has been
increased from 10 to 100 bytecodes, speeding up single-threaded
