+What's New in Python 2.4 alpha 2?
+=================================
+
+*Release date: XX-XXX-2004*
+
+Core and builtins
+-----------------
+
+- Allow string and unicode return types from .encode()/.decode()
+ methods on string and unicode objects. Added unicode.decode()
+ which was missing for no apparent reason.
+
+- An attempt to fix the mess that is Python's behaviour with
+ signal handlers and threads, complicated by readline's behaviour.
+ It's quite possible that there are still bugs here.
