    Added errors argument to TarFile class that allows the user to
    specify an error handling scheme for character conversion. Additional
    scheme "utf-8" in read mode. Unicode input filenames are now
    supported by design. The values of the pax_headers dictionary are now
    limited to unicode objects.

    Fixed: The prefix field is no longer used in PAX_FORMAT (in
    conformance with POSIX).
    Fixed: In read mode use a possible pax header size field.
    Fixed: Strip trailing slashes from pax header name values.
    Fixed: Give values in user-specified pax_headers precedence when
    writing.

    Added unicode tests. Added pax/regtype4 member to testtar.tar all
    possible number fields in a pax header.

    Added two chapters to the documentation about the different formats
    tarfile.py supports and how unicode issues are handled.

  Fix a fairly long-standing bug in the check for assignment to None (and other
  keywords, these days).  In 2.5, you could write foo(None=1) without getting
  a SyntaxError (although foo()'s definition would have to use **kwds to avoid
  getting a runtime error complaining about an unknown keyword of course).

  This ought to be backported to 2.5.2 or at least 2.6.

+% Rules for maintenance:
+% 
+%  * Anyone can add text to this document.  Do not spend very much time
+%    on the wording of your changes, because your text will probably
+%    get rewritten to some degree.
+%
+%  * The maintainer will go through Misc/NEWS periodically and add
+%    changes; it's therefore more important to add your changes to 
+%    Misc/NEWS than to this file.
+%
+%  * This is not a complete list of every single change; completeness
+%    is the purpose of Misc/NEWS.  Some changes I consider too small
+%    or esoteric to include.  If such a change is added to the text,
+%    I'll just remove it.  (This is another reason you shouldn't spend
+%    too much time on writing your addition.)
+%
+%  * If you want to draw your new text to the attention of the
+%    maintainer, add 'XXX' to the beginning of the paragraph or
+%    section.
+%
+%  * It's OK to just add a fragmentary note about a change.  For
+%    example: "XXX Describe the transmogrify() function added to the
+%    socket module."  The maintainer will research the change and
+%    write the necessary text.
+%
+%  * You can comment out your additions if you like, but it's not
+%    necessary (especially when a final release is some months away).
+%
+%  * Credit the author of a patch or bugfix.   Just the name is
+%    sufficient; the e-mail address isn't necessary.
+%
+%  * It's helpful to add the bug/patch number as a comment:
+%
+%       % Patch 12345
+%       XXX Describe the transmogrify() function added to the socket
+%       module.
+%       (Contributed by P.Y. Developer.)
+%
+%    This saves the maintainer the effort of going through the SVN log
+%    when researching a change.

+
+\begin{document}
+\maketitle
+\tableofcontents
+
+This article explains the new features in Python 3.0.  No release date
+for Python 3.0 has been set; it will probably be released in mid 2008.
+
+% Compare with previous release in 2 - 3 sentences here.
+
+This article doesn't attempt to provide a complete specification of
+the new features, but instead provides a convenient overview.  For
+full details, you should refer to the documentation for Python 3.0.
+% add hyperlink when the documentation becomes available online.
+If you want to understand the complete implementation and design
+rationale, refer to the PEP for a particular new feature.
+
+
+%======================================================================
+
+% Large, PEP-level features and changes should be described here.
+
+% Should there be a new section here for 3k migration?
+% Or perhaps a more general section describing module changes/deprecation?
+% sets module deprecated
+
+%======================================================================
+\section{Other Language Changes}
+
+Here are all of the changes that Python 2.6 makes to the core Python
+language.
+
+\begin{itemize}
+
+\item Detailed changes are listed here.
+
+\end{itemize}
+
+
+%======================================================================
+\subsection{Optimizations}
+
+\begin{itemize}
+
+\item Detailed changes are listed here.
+
+\end{itemize}
+
+The net result of the 3.0 optimizations is that Python 3.0 runs the
+pystone benchmark around XX\% slower than Python 2.6.
+
+
+%======================================================================
+\section{New, Improved, and Deprecated Modules}
+
+As usual, Python's standard library received a number of enhancements and
+bug fixes.  Here's a partial list of the most notable changes, sorted
+alphabetically by module name. Consult the
+\file{Misc/NEWS} file in the source tree for a more
+complete list of changes, or look through the CVS logs for all the
+details.
+
+\begin{itemize}
+
+\item Detailed changes are listed here.
+
+\end{itemize}
+
+
+%======================================================================
+% whole new modules get described in \subsections here
+
+
+% ======================================================================
+\section{Build and C API Changes}
+
+Changes to Python's build process and to the C API include:
+
+\begin{itemize}
+
+\item Detailed changes are listed here.
+
+\end{itemize}
+
+
+%======================================================================
+\subsection{Port-Specific Changes}
+
+Platform-specific changes go here.
+
+
+%======================================================================
+\section{Other Changes and Fixes \label{section-other}}
+
+As usual, there were a bunch of other improvements and bugfixes
+scattered throughout the source tree.  A search through the change
+logs finds there were XXX patches applied and YYY bugs fixed between
+Python 2.6 and 3.0.  Both figures are likely to be underestimates.
+
+Some of the more notable changes are:
+
+\begin{itemize}
+
+\item Details go here.
+
+\end{itemize}
+
+
+%======================================================================
+\section{Porting to Python 3.0}
+
+This section lists previously described changes that may require
+changes to your code:
+
+\begin{itemize}
+
+\item Everything is all in the details!
