Core and builtins
-----------------
+- Support for converting hex strings to floats no longer works.
+ This was not portable. float('0x3') now raises a ValueError.
+
- Patch #1382163: Expose Subversion revision number to Python. New C API
function Py_GetBuildNumber(). New attribute sys.build_number. Build number
is now displayed in interactive prompt banner.
