 - SF bug 705231:  builtin pow() no longer lets the platform C pow()
   raise -1.0 to integer powers, because (at least) glibc gets it wrong
   in some cases.  The result should be -1.0 if the power is odd and 1.0
   if the power is even, and any float with a sufficiently large exponent
   is (mathematically) an exact even integer.

 - the socket module has a new exception, socket.timeout, to allow
   timeouts to be handled separately from other socket errors.
 
+- SF bug 751276: cPickle has fixed to propagate exceptions raised in

+- cPickle Pickler and Unpickler objects now participate in garbage

 - mimetools.choose_boundary() could return duplicate strings at times,
   especially likely on Windows.  The strings returned are now guaranteed
