Core
+- Warnings about a mismatch in the Python API during extension import
+ now use the Python warning framework (which makes it possible to
+ write filters for these warnings).
+
+- Two new APIs PyOS_snprintf() and PyOS_vsnprintf() were added
+ which provide a cross-platform implementations for the
+ relatively new snprintf()/vsnprintf() C lib APIs. In contrast to
+ the standard sprintf() and vsprintf() C lib APIs, these versions
+ apply bounds checking on the used buffer which enhances protection
+ against buffer overruns.
