+- Added the future_builtins module, which contains hex() and oct().
+ These are the PEP 3127 version of these functions, designed to be
+ compatible with the hex() and oct() builtins from Python 3.0. They
+ differ slightly in their output formats from the existing, unchanged

+- Issue #1600: Modifed PyOS_ascii_formatd to use at most 2 digit
+ exponents for exponents with absolute value < 100. Follows C99
+ standard. This is a change on Windows, which would use 3 digits.
+ Also, added 'n' to the formats that PyOS_ascii_formatd understands,
+ so that any alterations it does to the resulting string will be
+ available in stringlib/formatter.h (for float.__format__).
+
+- 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.
