Core and builtins ----------------- +- Issue #1635: Platform independent creation and representation of NaN + and INF. float("nan"), float("inf") and float("-inf") now work on every + platform with IEEE 754 semantics. + +- Added case insensitive comparsion methods ``PyOS_stricmp(char*, char*)`` + and ``PyOS_strnicmp(char*, char*, Py_ssize_t)``. + - Compiler now generates simpler and faster code for dictionary literals. The oparg for BUILD_MAP now indicates an estimated dictionary size. There is a new opcode, STORE_MAP, for adding entries to the dictionary. |
