Core and builtins
-----------------
+- The internal portable implementation of thread-local storage (TLS), used
+ by the ``PyGILState_Ensure()``/``PyGILState_Release()`` API, was not
+ thread-correct. This could lead to a variety of problems, up to and
+ including segfaults. See bug 1041645 for an example.

- Added a command line option, -m module, which searches sys.path for the
module and then runs it. (Contributed by Nick Coghlan.)
