@@ -43,6 +43,13 @@ Core and Builtins Library ------- +- Issue #9825: removed __del__ from the definition of collections.OrderedDict. + This prevents user-created self-referencing ordered dictionaries from + becoming permanently uncollectable GC garbage. The downside is that + removing __del__ means that the internal doubly-linked list has to wait for + GC collection rather than freeing memory immediately when the refcnt drops + to zero. + - Issue #9816: random.Random.jumpahead(n) did not produce a sufficiently different internal state for small values of n. Fixed by salting the value. |
