+What's New in Python 3.3.0 Alpha 4?
+===================================
+
+*Release date: 26-May-2012*
+
+Core and Builtins
+-----------------
+
+- Issue #14705: The PyArg_Parse() family of functions now support the 'p'
+ format unit, which accepts a "boolean predicate" argument. It converts
+ any Python value into an integer--0 if it is "false", and 1 otherwise.
+
+Library
+-------
+
+- Issue #14127: The os.stat() result object now provides three additional
+ fields: st_ctime_ns, st_mtime_ns, and st_atime_ns, providing those times
+ as an integer with nanosecond resolution. The functions os.utime(),
+ os.lutimes(), and os.futimes() now accept a new parameter, ns, which
+ accepts mtime and atime as integers with nanosecond resolution.
+
+- Issue #14127 and #10148: shutil.copystat now preserves exact mtime
+ and atime on filesystems providing nanosecond resolution.
