+- a new ``urllib`` package was created. It consists of code from
+ ``urllib``, ``urllib2``, ``urlparse``, and ``robotparser``. The old
+ modules have all been removed. The new package has five submodules:
+ ``urllib.parse``, ``urllib.request``, ``urllib.response``,
+ ``urllib.error``, and ``urllib.robotparser``. The
+ ``urllib.request.urlopen()`` function uses the url opener from
+ ``urllib2``. (Note that the unittests have not been renamed for the
+ beta, but they will be renamed in the future.)
