However, the SSL code appears to be leaking - quite a bit. +* The AMD64 Windows installer doesn't contain Tcl/Tk, and hence IDLE + won't work. This is because Tcl doesn't compile at all on this + platform. -* On Windows Python can't be run from a directory with non ASCII chars - in its path name (bug #1342). +* The 32bit build for the Win32/x86 platform is optimized with PGO + (profile guided optimization). Please read Microsoft's docs for + `PGO + <http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/e7k32f4k(VS.90).aspx>`_ + if you are interested in details. Preliminary benchmarks have shown + a speedup of about 10% in PyBench. Real world applications may gain + more or less speedup. -* The current releases of MinGW and Cygwin can't build Python extensions - since they don't support msvcr90.dll. The necessary bits and pieces are - already in Python and cygwin cvs. +* The Tools directory contains a copy of the 2to3 conversion tool. + Note that 2to3 itself must be run with Python 2.5! + +* SSL support is back! However, while the tests pass, the SSL code + appears to be leaking quite a bit, and there are still bugs. + We'll be working on this for the next release. + +* On Windows, Python can't be run from a directory with non ASCII chars + in its path name (`bug #1342 <http://bugs.python.org/issue1342>`_). + +* On Windows, the module doc server (pydocgui.pyw) is crashing. + +* On Windows, the menus in IDLE are broken. + +* The current releases of Cygwin and MinGW can't create extensions for + the official Python 3.0 binary. The necessary modifications to + Cygwin are already in its CVS.
