- * Backport 3.3.0 fixes to 3.2 branch (for release in 3.2.4)
- * Since Xcode 4 removes ppc support, extension module builds now
- check for ppc compiler support and by default remove ppc and
- ppc64 archs when they are not available.
- * Extension module builds now revert to using system installed
- headers and libs (/usr and /System/Library) if the SDK used
- to build the interpreter is not installed or has moved.
- * Try to avoid building extension modules with deprecated
- and problematic Apple llvm-gcc compiler. If original compiler
- is not available, use clang instead by default.

-- Issue #13590: On OS X 10.7 and 10.6 with Xcode 4.2, building
- Distutils-based packages with C extension modules may fail because
- Apple has removed gcc-4.2, the version used to build python.org
- 64-bit/32-bit Pythons. If the user does not explicitly override
- the default C compiler by setting the CC environment variable,
- Distutils will now attempt to compile extension modules with clang
- if gcc-4.2 is required but not found. Also as a convenience, if
- the user does explicitly set CC, substitute its value as the default
- compiler in the Distutils LDSHARED configuration variable for OS X.
- (Note, the python.org 32-bit-only Pythons use gcc-4.0 and the 10.4u
- SDK, neither of which are available in Xcode 4. This change does not
- attempt to override settings to support their use with Xcode 4.)

-
-- Issue #12626: In regrtest, allow to filter tests using a glob filter

-- Issue #9516: On Mac OS X, change Distutils to no longer globally attempt to
- check or set the MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET environment variable for the
- interpreter process. This could cause failures in non-Distutils subprocesses

- environment after Distutils set it. Instead, have Distutils set the
- deployment target only in the environment of each build subprocess. It is
- still possible to globally override the default by setting
- MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET before launching the interpreter; its value must be
- greater or equal to the default value, the value with which the interpreter
- was built.

- their encode() method anymore, but continue to call the reset() method if the
- final argument is True.
-
-- Issue #5715: In socketserver, close the server socket in the child process.
-
-- Correct lookup of __dir__ on objects. Among other things, this causes errors

- to be able to unload the module.
-
-- Issue #12065: connect_ex() on an SSL socket now returns the original errno
- when the socket's timeout expires (it used to return None).
-

------------------
-
-- Issue #12404: Remove C89 incompatible code from mmap module. Patch by Akira
- Kitada.

-- Issue #11217: For 64-bit/32-bit Mac OS X universal framework builds, ensure

-*Release date: 08-May-2011*
-
-Core and Builtins
------------------
-
-- Issue #1856: Avoid crashes and lockups when daemon threads run while the
- interpreter is shutting down; instead, these threads are now killed when they
- try to take the GIL.
-
-- Issue #9756: When calling a method descriptor or a slot wrapper descriptor,
- the check of the object type doesn't read the __class__ attribute anymore.
- Fix a crash if a class override its __class__ attribute (e.g. a proxy of the
- str type). Patch written by Andreas Stührk.
-

- subinterpreter to fix a bootstrap issue with codecs implemented in Python, as
- the ISO-8859-15 codec.

- accepted too.

- TypeError. Patch by Charles-François Natali.

------------------
-
-- Issue #10451: memoryview objects could allow to mutate a readable buffer.
- Initial patch by Ross Lagerwall.
-
-Library
--------
-
-- Issue #9124: mailbox now accepts binary input and reads and writes mailbox
- files in binary mode, using the email package's binary support to parse

- and string input fails early if non-ASCII characters are used, where
- previously it would fail when the email was processed in a later step.

- with a None body.
-
-- Issue #11014: Make 'filter' argument in tarfile.Tarfile.add() into a
- keyword-only argument. The preceding positional argument was deprecated,
- so it made no sense to add filter as a positional argument.

-
-- Issue #10974: IDLE no longer crashes if its recent files list includes files
- with non-ASCII characters in their path names.

- encoding. This is the preferred encoding of PEP 3333 and the base encoding
- of HTTP 1.1.
-
-- To match the behaviour of HTTP server, the HTTP client library now also
- encodes headers with iso-8859-1 (latin1) encoding. It was already doing
- that for incoming headers which makes this behaviour now consistent in
- both incoming and outgoing direction.
-
-- Issue #9509: argparse now properly handles IOErrors raised by
- argparse.FileType.
-
-- Issue #10961: The new pydoc server now better handles exceptions raised

- by Matt Bandy.
-
-- Issue #10841: On Windows, set the binary mode on stdin, stdout, stderr and all
- io.FileIO objects (to not translate newlines, \r\n <=> \n). The Python parser
- translates newlines (\r\n => \n).
-
-- Remove buffer API from stable ABI for now, see #10181.
-
-- Issue #8651: PyArg_Parse*() functions raise an OverflowError if the file
- doesn't have PY_SSIZE_T_CLEAN define and the size doesn't fit in an int

- stdprinter.write() clamp the length to INT_MAX on Windows.
-
-- Issue #8278: On Windows and with a NTFS filesystem, os.stat() and os.utime()
- can now handle dates after 2038.
-
-- Issue #10780: PyErr_SetFromWindowsErrWithFilename() and
- PyErr_SetExcFromWindowsErrWithFilename() decode the filename from the
- filesystem encoding instead of UTF-8.
-
-- Issue #10779: PyErr_WarnExplicit() decodes the filename from the filesystem
- encoding instead of UTF-8.
-
-- Add sys.flags attribute for the new -q command-line option.
-
-- Issue #11506: Trying to assign to a bytes literal should result in a

-
-Library
--------
-
-- Issue #10916: mmap should not segfault when a file is mapped using 0 as length
- and a non-zero offset, and an attempt to read past the end of file is made
- (IndexError is raised instead). Patch by Ross Lagerwall.
-
-- Issue #10154, #10090: change the normalization of UTF-8 to "UTF-8" instead
- of "UTF8" in the locale module as the latter is not supported MacOSX and OpenBSD.
-
-- Issue #10684: shutil.move used to delete a folder on case insensitive
- filesystems when the source and destination name where the same except
- for the case.
-
-- Issue #10907: Warn OS X 10.6 IDLE users to use ActiveState Tcl/Tk 8.5, rather
- than the currently problematic Apple-supplied one, when running with the
- 64-/32-bit installer variant.
-
-- Issue #4953: cgi.FieldStorage and cgi.parse() parse the request as bytes, not
- as unicode, and accept binary files. Add encoding and errors attributes to

- Linderman).
-

- twice.
-
-- Issue #5871: email.header.Header.encode now raises an error if any
- continuation line in the formatted value has no leading white space and looks
- like a header. Since Generator uses Header to format all headers, this check
- is made for all headers in any serialized message at serialization time. This
- provides protection against header injection attacks.
-
-- Issue #10859: Make ``contextlib.GeneratorContextManager`` officially
- private by renaming it to ``_GeneratorContextManager``.
-
-- Issue #10042: Fixed the total_ordering decorator to handle cross-type

-
-- Issue #10686: the email package now :rfc:`2047`\ -encodes headers with
- non-ASCII bytes (parsed by a BytesParser) when doing conversion to 7bit-clean
- presentation, instead of replacing them with ?s.
-
-- email.header.Header was incorrectly encoding folding whitespace when
- rfc2047-encoding header values with embedded newlines, leaving them without
- folding whitespace. It now uses the continuation_ws, as it does for
- continuation lines that it creates itself.
-
-- Issue #1777412, #10827: Changed the rules for 2-digit years. The
- time.asctime(), time.ctime() and time.strftime() functions will now format

- otherwise. ``time.mktime`` and ``time.strftime`` now accept full range
- supported by the OS. With Visual Studio or on Solaris, the year is limited to
- the range [1; 9999]. Conversion of 2-digit years to 4-digit is deprecated.

- raising a ValueError, to fix repr().
-
-- Issue #8650: zlib.compress() and zlib.decompress() raise an OverflowError if
- the input buffer length doesn't fit into an unsigned int (length bigger than

- Mark Roddy.
-
-- Issue #10753: Characters ';', '=' and ',' in the PATH_INFO environment variable
- won't be quoted when the URI is constructed by the wsgiref.util's request_uri
- method. According to RFC 3986, these characters can be a part of params in
- PATH component of URI and need not be quoted.
-
-- Issue #10738: Fix webbrowser.Opera.raise_opts.
-
-- Issue #9824: SimpleCookie now encodes , and ; in values to cater to how
- browsers actually parse cookies.
