+	Changes between 1.3.3 and 1.3.2
+	--------------------------------
+
+A major change since 1.3.2 is in the organization of the files: The
+Mac folder has mac-specific demo programs, attempts at documentation and
+more. Browse the HTML files in Mac:Demo for more info.
+
+Also, Toolbox:bgen is not needed anymore for normal use: the relevant
+python modules have been moved to Mac:Lib:toolbox.
+
+Other changes:
+- Uses final Tk 4.1 and Tcl 7.5 distributions.
+- Override preferences (stored in the interpreter/applet application)
+  allow overriding of system-wide preferences. Explained in
+  "using.html".
+- New functionality in FrameWork.py:
+  - ScrolledWindow class
+  - enable(), settext(), setitem(), setmark(), seticon(),
+    checkmenu() and delete() methods for menu entries.
+  - event parameter added to idle() method
+  - windowbounds() function helps programmer with staggering windows.
+  - Erase only visRgn on an update event.
+- TextEdit interface module added
+- Waste interface module added
+- Demos for waste, including skeleton for html editor
+- Scrap manager interface added
+- Ctl.FindControl() could return reference to deleted object. Fixed.
+- GrafPorts have an _id attribute (address of grafport) allowing them
+  to be compared (since a new python object is created each time).
+- Standard File folder no longer changed on chdir() (this was
+  introduced in 1.3.2).
+- sys.argv can now be set if you option-drag or option-click a python
+  source.
+- Various dialogs now have sensible defaults.
+- binhextree is now a bit more intelligent about when to binhex.
+- gensuitemodule fixed to hand '****' type arguments.
+
+	Changes between 1.3.2 and 1.3.1
+	-------------------------------
+
+The main reason for the 1.3.2 distribution is the availability of Tk
+for the mac. The Tk port and its integration in Python is definitely
+not bug-free, hence this distribution should be treated as beta
+software at best.
+
+Another major change in this release is that the Python I/O system is
+now based on the GUSI library. This is an I/O library that attempts to
+mimic a Posix I/O system. Hence, modules like socket and select are
+now available in MacPython. If you build dynamically loaded modules
+and you use any unix-like feature such as stat() calls you should
+compile using the GUSI include files.
+
+A third major change is that the MacOS creator code has been changed
+from 'PYTH' to 'Pyth', due to a conflict. This means that you will
+have to change the creator of all your old python programs. The
+distribution contains a script "FixCreator.py" that does this
+recursively for a whole folder.
+
+Here are all the changes since 1.3.1, in no particular order:
+- complex number support added
+- cmath module added
+- startup options ("option-drag" dialog) can be retrieved from the
+  preferences file. EditPythonPrefs hasn't been updated yet, though.
+- Creator changed from PYTH to Pyth
+- {mac,os}.unlink is now also called {mac,os}.remove
+- {mac,os}.mkdir second arg optional
+- dup and fdopen calls added
+- select module added
+- socket module added
+- open(file, '*r') for opening resource forks has been removed. It is
+  replaced by MacOS.openrf(file, 'r'), which returns a simple
+  file-like object to read (or write) resource forks.
+- Added AppleEvent URL suite
+- Added AppleEvent netscape suite
+- QuickDraw globals are now all accessible, as Qd.qd.xxxx
+
+
+	Mac-specific changes between 1.3 and 1.3.1
+	--------------------------------------
+
+Aside from the changes mentioned here there have also been some
+changes in the core python, but these are not documented here.
+However, these changes are mainly bugfixes, so there shouldn't be any
+incompatabilities.
+
+- imgsgi and imgpbm modules added
+- Various hooks installed to allow integration with MacTk (currently
+  disabled)
+- Added support for MacOS Fixed type in toolbox arguments (represented
+  as floats in python)
+- Added option to keep output window open on normal termination
+- Decreased minimum heapsize to run interpreter
+- Added progress-bar to EasyDialogs
+- Fixed socket.getportname()
+- Renamed MACTCP.py to MACTCPconst.py
+
+- Many fixes to FrameWork.py:
+  - Added window.SetPort() method
+  - Added optional bounds and resid parameters to Window.open()
+  - Fixed apple-menu DA handling
+  - Fixed activate-event handling
+  - Added default Application.makeusermenus() (File:Quit only)
+  - Fixed bug with keyboard input handling
+  - added idle() method, called from event loop if there are no events
+    pending
+
+Toolbox modules:
+- component manager module added
+- quicktime module added
+- font manager module added
+- Added color window support
+- Added support to obtain pixmap from a window
+- Added BitMap type
+- Added GrafPort type
+- Added support for PenState, Patterns, FontInfo, RGB colors,
+- Fixed GetPen and SetPt arguments
+- Added read access to members of {C}GrafPort objects
+- Added support for cursors
+- Provide access to some QuickDraw globals
+- Fixed InsetRect, OffsetRect, MapRect
+- Added support for various handles such as PatHandle, CursHandle
+- Added functions to access members of Window objects
