 -- Issue #14234: CVE-2012-0876: Randomize hashes of xml attributes in the hash
 -  table internal to the pyexpat module's copy of the expat library to avoid a
 -  denial of service due to hash collisions.  Patch by David Malcolm with some
 -  modifications by the expat project.
 +- Issue #14172: Fix reference leak when marshalling a buffer-like object
 +  (other than a bytes object).
  
 +- Issue #13521: dict.setdefault() now does only one lookup for the given key,
 +  making it "atomic" for many purposes.  Patch by Filip Gruszczyński.
  
 -What's New in Python 3.2.3 release candidate 1?
 -===============================================
 +- PEP 409, Issue #6210: "raise X from None" is now supported as a means of
 +  suppressing the display of the chained exception context. The chained
 +  context still remains available as the __context__ attribute.
  
 -*Release date: 24-Feb-2012*
 +- Issue #10181: New memoryview implementation fixes multiple ownership
 +  and lifetime issues of dynamically allocated Py_buffer members (#9990)
 +  as well as crashes (#8305, #7433). Many new features have been added
 +  (See whatsnew/3.3), and the documentation has been updated extensively.
 +  The ndarray test object from _testbuffer.c implements all aspects of
 +  PEP-3118, so further development towards the complete implementation
 +  of the PEP can proceed in a test-driven manner.
  
 -Core and Builtins
 ------------------
 +  Thanks to Nick Coghlan, Antoine Pitrou and Pauli Virtanen for review
 +  and many ideas.

 -  by David Malcolm, based on work by Victor Stinner.
 +- Issue #5231: Introduce memoryview.cast() method that allows changing
 +  format and shape without making a copy of the underlying memory.
  
  - Issue #14084: Fix a file descriptor leak when importing a module with a
    bad encoding.
