- Issue 15348: Stop the debugger engine (normally in a user process)
  before closing the debugger window (running in the IDLE process).
  This prevents the RuntimeErrors that were being caught and ignored.

- Issue #24455: Prevent IDLE from hanging when a) closing the shell while the
  debugger is active (15347); b) closing the debugger with the [X] button
  (15348); and c) activating the debugger when already active (24455).
  The patch by Mark Roseman does this by making two changes.
  1. Suspend and resume the gui.interaction method with the tcl vwait
  mechanism intended for this purpose (instead of root.mainloop & .quit).
  2. In gui.run, allow any existing interaction to terminate first.

- Change 'The program' to 'Your program' in an IDLE 'kill program?' message
  to make it clearer that the program referred to is the currently running
  user program, not IDLE itself.

- Issue #24750: Improve the appearance of the IDLE editor window status bar.
  Patch by Mark Roseman.

- Issue #25313: Change the handling of new built-in text color themes to better
  address the compatibility problem introduced by the addition of IDLE Dark.
  Consistently use the revised idleConf.CurrentTheme everywhere in idlelib.

- Issue #24782: Extension configuration is now a tab in the IDLE Preferences
  dialog rather than a separate dialog.   The former tabs are now a sorted
  list.  Patch by Mark Roseman.

- Issue #22726: Re-activate the config dialog help button with some content
  about the other buttons and the new IDLE Dark theme.

- Issue #24820: IDLE now has an 'IDLE Dark' built-in text color theme.
  It is more or less IDLE Classic inverted, with a cobalt blue background.
  Strings, comments, keywords, ... are still green, red, orange, ... .
  To use it with IDLEs released before November 2015, hit the
  'Save as New Custom Theme' button and enter a new name,
  such as 'Custom Dark'.  The custom theme will work with any IDLE
  release, and can be modified.

- Issue #25224: README.txt is now an idlelib index for IDLE developers and
  curious users.  The previous user content is now in the IDLE doc chapter.
  'IDLE' now means 'Integrated Development and Learning Environment'.

- Issue #24820: Users can now set breakpoint colors in
  Settings -> Custom Highlighting.  Original patch by Mark Roseman.

- Issue #24972: Inactive selection background now matches active selection
  background, as configured by users, on all systems.  Found items are now
  always highlighted on Windows.  Initial patch by Mark Roseman.

- Issue #24570: Idle: make calltip and completion boxes appear on Macs
  affected by a tk regression.  Initial patch by Mark Roseman.

- Issue #24988: Idle ScrolledList context menus (used in debugger)
  now work on Mac Aqua.  Patch by Mark Roseman.

- Issue #24801: Make right-click for context menu work on Mac Aqua.
  Patch by Mark Roseman.

- Issue #25173: Associate tkinter messageboxes with a specific widget.
  For Mac OSX, make them a 'sheet'.  Patch by Mark Roseman.

- Issue #25198: Enhance the initial html viewer now used for Idle Help.
  * Properly indent fixed-pitch text (patch by Mark Roseman).
  * Give code snippet a very Sphinx-like light blueish-gray background.
  * Re-use initial width and height set by users for shell and editor.
  * When the Table of Contents (TOC) menu is used, put the section header
  at the top of the screen.

- Issue #25199: Idle: add synchronization comments for future maintainers.

- Issue #16893: Replace help.txt with help.html for Idle doc display.
  The new idlelib/help.html is rstripped Doc/build/html/library/idle.html.
  It looks better than help.txt and will better document Idle as released.
  The tkinter html viewer that works for this file was written by Mark Roseman.
  The now unused EditorWindow.HelpDialog class and helt.txt file are deprecated.

- Issue #24199: Deprecate unused idlelib.idlever with possible removal in 3.6.

  font selections.  If there is a problem, edit $HOME/.idlerc/config-main.cfg
  and remove 'fontxxx' entries from [Editor Window].  Patch by Mark Roseman.

- Issue #21192: Idle editor. When a file is run, put its name in the restart bar.
  Do not print false prompts. Original patch by Adnan Umer.

  is run with pythonw.exe.

- Issue #21775: shutil.copytree(): fix crash when copying to VFAT. An exception

  Discovered by Jonas Wielicki, patch by Yury Selivanov.

- Issue #20261: In pickle, lookup __getnewargs__ and __getnewargs_ex__ on the
  type of the object.

- Issue #20619: Give the AST nodes of keyword-only arguments a column and line
  number.

- Issue #20526: Revert changes of issue #19466 which introduces a regression:
  don't clear anymore the state of Python threads early during the Python
  shutdown.

Library
-------

- Issue #20710: The pydoc summary line no longer displays the "self" parameter
  for bound methods.

- Issue #20566: Change asyncio.as_completed() to use a Queue, to
  avoid O(N**2) behavior.

- Issue #20704: Implement new debug API in asyncio. Add new methods
  BaseEventLoop.set_debug() and BaseEventLoop.get_debug().
  Add support for setting 'asyncio.tasks._DEBUG' variable with
  'PYTHONASYNCIODEBUG' environment variable.

- asyncio: Refactoring and fixes: BaseEventLoop.sock_connect() raises an
  error if the address is not resolved; use __slots__ in Handle and
  TimerHandle; as_completed() and wait() raise TypeError if the passed
  list of Futures is a single Future; call_soon() and other 'call_*()'
  functions raise TypeError if the passed callback is a coroutine
  function; _ProactorBasePipeTransport uses _FlowControlMixin;
  WriteTransport.set_write_buffer_size() calls _maybe_pause_protocol()
  to consider pausing receiving if the watermark limits have changed;
  fix _check_resolved_address() for IPv6 address; and other minor
  improvements, along with multiple documentation updates.

  streams.open_unix_connection(), and streams.start_unix_server().

- Issue #20616: Add a format() method to tracemalloc.Traceback.

- Issue #19744: the ensurepip installation step now just prints a warning to
  stderr rather than failing outright if SSL/TLS is unavailable. This allows
  local installation of POSIX builds without SSL/TLS support.

- Issue #20594: Avoid name clash with the libc function posix_close.

What's New in Python 3.4.0 release candidate 1?
===============================================

Release date: 2014-02-10

Core and Builtins
-----------------

- Issue #19255: The builtins module is restored to initial value before
  cleaning other modules.  The sys and builtins modules are cleaned last.

- Issue #20588: Make Python-ast.c C89 compliant.

- Issue #20437: Fixed 22 potential bugs when deleting objects references.

- Issue #20500: Displaying an exception at interpreter shutdown no longer
  risks triggering an assertion failure in PyObject_Str.

- Issue #20538: UTF-7 incremental decoder produced inconsistent string when
  input was truncated in BASE64 section.

- Issue #20404: io.TextIOWrapper (and hence the open() builtin) now uses the
  internal codec marking system added for issue #19619 to throw LookupError
  for known non-text encodings at stream construction time. The existing
  output type checks remain in place to deal with unmarked third party
  codecs.

- Issue #17162: Add PyType_GetSlot.

- Issue #20162: Fix an alignment issue in the siphash24() hash function which
  caused a crash on PowerPC 64-bit (ppc64).

Library
-------

- Issue #20530: The signatures for slot builtins have been updated
  to reflect the fact that they only accept positional-only arguments.

- Issue #20517: Functions in the os module that accept two filenames
  now register both filenames in the exception on failure.

- Issue #20563: The ipaddress module API is now considered stable.

- Issue #14983: email.generator now always adds a line end after each MIME
  boundary marker, instead of doing so only when there is an epilogue.  This
  fixes an RFC compliance bug and solves an issue with signed MIME parts.

- Issue #20540: Fix a performance regression (vs. Python 3.2) when layering
  a multiprocessing Connection over a TCP socket.  For small payloads, Nagle's
  algorithm would introduce idle delays before the entire transmission of a
  message.

- Issue #16983: the new email header parsing code will now decode encoded words
  that are (incorrectly) surrounded by quotes, and register a defect.

- Issue #19772: email.generator no longer mutates the message object when
  doing a down-transform from 8bit to 7bit CTEs.

- Issue #20536: the statistics module now correctly handle Decimal instances
  with positive exponents

- Issue #18805: the netmask/hostmask parsing in ipaddress now more reliably
  filters out illegal values and correctly allows any valid prefix length.

- Issue #20481: For at least Python 3.4, the statistics module will require
  that all inputs for a single operation be of a single consistent type, or
  else a mixed of ints and a single other consistent type. This avoids
  some interoperability issues that arose with the previous approach of
  coercing to a suitable common type.

- Issue #20478: the statistics module now treats collections.Counter inputs
  like any other iterable.

- Issue #17369: get_filename was raising an exception if the filename
  parameter's RFC2231 encoding was broken in certain ways.  This was
  a regression relative to python2.

- Issue #20013: Some imap servers disconnect if the current mailbox is
  deleted, and imaplib did not handle that case gracefully.  Now it
  handles the 'bye' correctly.

- Issue #20531: Revert 3.4 version of fix for #19063, and apply the 3.3
  version.  That is, do *not* raise an error if unicode is passed to
  email.message.Message.set_payload.

- Issue #20476: If a non-compat32 policy is used with any of the email parsers,
  EmailMessage is now used as the factory class.  The factory class should
  really come from the policy; that will get fixed in 3.5.

- Issue #19920: TarFile.list() no longer fails when outputs a listing
  containing non-encodable characters.  Based on patch by Vajrasky Kok.

- Issue #20515: Fix NULL pointer dereference introduced by issue #20368.

- Issue #19186: Restore namespacing of expat symbols inside the pyexpat module.

- Issue #20053: ensurepip (and hence venv) are no longer affected by the
  settings in the default pip configuration file.

- Issue #20426: When passing the re.DEBUG flag, re.compile() displays the
  debug output every time it is called, regardless of the compilation cache.

- Issue #20368: The null character now correctly passed from Tcl to Python.
  Improved error handling in variables-related commands.

- Issue #20435: Fix _pyio.StringIO.getvalue() to take into account newline
  translation settings.

- tracemalloc: Fix slicing traces and fix slicing a traceback.

- Issue #20354: Fix an alignment issue in the tracemalloc module on 64-bit
  platforms. Bug seen on 64-bit Linux when using "make profile-opt".

- Issue #17159: inspect.signature now accepts duck types of functions,
  which adds support for Cython functions. Initial patch by Stefan Behnel.

- Issue #18801: Fix inspect.classify_class_attrs to correctly classify
  object.__new__ and object.__init__.

- Fixed cmath.isinf's name in its argument parsing code.

- Issue #20311, #20452: poll and epoll now round the timeout away from zero,
  instead of rounding towards zero, in select and selectors modules:
  select.epoll.poll(), selectors.PollSelector.poll() and
  selectors.EpollSelector.poll(). For example, a timeout of one microsecond
  (1e-6) is now rounded to one millisecondi (1e-3), instead of being rounded to
  zero.  However, the granularity property and asyncio's resolution feature
  were removed again.

- asyncio: Some refactoring; various fixes; add write flow control to
  unix pipes; Future.set_exception() instantiates the exception
  argument if it is a class; improved proactor pipe transport; support
  wait_for(f, None); don't log broken/disconnected pipes; use
  ValueError instead of assert for forbidden subprocess_{shell,exec}
  arguments; added a convenience API for subprocess management; added
  StreamReader.at_eof(); properly handle duplicate coroutines/futures
  in gather(), wait(), as_completed(); use a bytearray for buffering
  in StreamReader; and more.

- Issue #20288: fix handling of invalid numeric charrefs in HTMLParser.

- Issue #20424: Python implementation of io.StringIO now supports lone surrogates.

- Issue #20308: inspect.signature now works on classes without user-defined
  __init__ or __new__ methods.

- Issue #20372: inspect.getfile (and a bunch of other inspect functions that
  use it) doesn't crash with unexpected AttributeError on classes defined in C
  without __module__.

- Issue #20356: inspect.signature formatting uses '/' to separate
  positional-only parameters from others.

- Issue #20223: inspect.signature now supports methods defined with
  functools.partialmethods.

- Issue #19456: ntpath.join() now joins relative paths correctly when a drive
  is present.

- Issue #19077: tempfile.TemporaryDirectory cleanup no longer fails when
  called during shutdown.  Emitting resource warning in __del__ no longer fails.
  Original patch by Antoine Pitrou.

- Issue #20394: Silence Coverity warning in audioop module.

- Issue #20367: Fix behavior of concurrent.futures.as_completed() for
  duplicate arguments.  Patch by Glenn Langford.

- Issue #8260: The read(), readline() and readlines() methods of
  codecs.StreamReader returned incomplete data when were called after
  readline() or read(size).  Based on patch by Amaury Forgeot d'Arc.

- Issue #20105: the codec exception chaining now correctly sets the
  traceback of the original exception as its __traceback__ attribute.

- Issue #17481: inspect.getfullargspec() now uses inspect.signature() API.

- Issue #15304: concurrent.futures.wait() can block forever even if
  Futures have completed. Patch by Glenn Langford.

- Issue #14455: plistlib: fix serializing integers in the range
  of an unsigned long long but outside of the range of signed long long for
  binary plist files.

IDLE
----

- Issue #20406: Use Python application icons for Idle window title bars.
  Patch mostly by Serhiy Storchaka.

- Update the python.gif icon for the Idle classbrowser and pathbowser
  from the old green snake to the new blue and yellow snakes.

- Issue #17721: Remove non-functional configuration dialog help button until we
  make it actually gives some help when clicked. Patch by Guilherme Simões.

- Issue #19920: Added tests for TarFile.list().  Based on patch by Vajrasky Kok.

- Issue #19990: Added tests for the imghdr module.  Based on patch by
  Claudiu Popa.

- Issue #20474: Fix test_socket "unexpected success" failures on OS X 10.7+.

Tools/Demos
-----------

- Issue #20530: Argument Clinic's signature format has been revised again.
  The new syntax is highly human readable while still preventing false
  positives.  The syntax also extends Python syntax to denote "self" and
  positional-only parameters, allowing inspect.Signature objects to be
  totally accurate for all supported builtins in Python 3.4.

- Issue #20456: Argument Clinic now observes the C preprocessor conditional
  compilation statements of the C files it parses.  When a Clinic block is
  inside a conditional code, it adjusts its output to match, including
  automatically generating an empty methoddef macro.

- Issue #20456: Cloned functions in Argument Clinic now use the correct
  name, not the name of the function they were cloned from, for text
  strings inside generated code.

- Issue #20456: Fixed Argument Clinic's test suite and "--converters" feature.

- Issue #20456: Argument Clinic now allows specifying different names
  for a parameter in Python and C, using "as" on the parameter line.

- Issue #20326: Argument Clinic now uses a simple, unique signature to
  annotate text signatures in docstrings, resulting in fewer false
  positives.  "self" parameters are also explicitly marked, allowing
  inspect.Signature() to authoritatively detect (and skip) said parameters.

- Issue #20326: Argument Clinic now generates separate checksums for the
  input and output sections of the block, allowing external tools to verify
  that the input has not changed (and thus the output is not out-of-date).

Build
-----

- Issue #20465: Update SQLite shipped with OS X installer to 3.8.3.

C-API
-----

- Issue #20517: Added new functions allowing OSError exceptions to reference
  two filenames instead of one: PyErr_SetFromErrnoWithFilenameObjects() and
  PyErr_SetExcFromWindowsErrWithFilenameObjects().

Documentation
-------------

- Issue #20488: Change wording to say importlib is *the* implementation of
  import instead of just *an* implementation.

- Issue #6386: Clarify in the tutorial that specifying a symlink to execute
  means the directory containing the executed script and not the symlink is
  added to sys.path.


What's New in Python 3.4.0 Beta 3?
==================================

Release date: 2014-01-26

Core and Builtins
-----------------

- Issue #20189: Four additional builtin types (PyTypeObject,
  PyMethodDescr_Type, _PyMethodWrapper_Type, and PyWrapperDescr_Type)
  have been modified to provide introspection information for builtins.

- Issue #17825: Cursor "^" is correctly positioned for SyntaxError and
  IndentationError.

- Issue #2382: SyntaxError cursor "^" is now written at correct position in most
  cases when multibyte characters are in line (before "^").  This still not
  works correctly with wide East Asian characters.

- Issue #18960: The first line of Python script could be executed twice when
  the source encoding was specified on the second line.  Now the source encoding
  declaration on the second line isn't effective if the first line contains
  anything except a comment.  'python -x' works now again with files with the
  source encoding declarations, and can be used to make Python batch files
  on Windows.

Library
-------

- asyncio: Various improvements and small changes not all covered by
  issues listed below.  E.g. wait_for() now cancels the inner task if
  the timeout occcurs; tweaked the set of exported symbols; renamed
  Empty/Full to QueueEmpty/QueueFull; "with (yield from lock)" now
  uses a separate context manager; readexactly() raises if not enough
  data was read; PTY support tweaks.

- Issue #20311: asyncio: Add a granularity attribute to BaseEventLoop: maximum

- Issue #20189: unittest.mock now no longer assumes that any object for
  which it could get an inspect.Signature is a callable written in Python.
  Fix courtesy of Michael Foord.

- Issue #20317: ExitStack.__exit__ could create a self-referential loop if an
  exception raised by a cleanup operation already had its context set
  correctly (for example, by the @contextmanager decorator). The infinite
  loop this caused is now avoided by checking if the expected context is
  already set before trying to fix it.

- Issue #20374: Fix build with GNU readline >= 6.3.

- Issue #20262: Warnings are raised now when duplicate names are added in the
  ZIP file or too long ZIP file comment is truncated.

- Issues #20206 and #5803: Fix edge case in email.quoprimime.encode where it
  truncated lines ending in a character needing encoding but no newline by
  using a more efficient algorithm that doesn't have the bug.

- Issue #19082: Working xmlrpc.server and xmlrpc.client examples. Both in
  modules and in documentation. Initial patch contributed by Vajrasky Kok.

- Issue #20138: The wsgiref.application_uri() and wsgiref.request_uri()
  functions now conform to PEP 3333 when handle non-ASCII URLs.

  invalid fileobj.

- Issue #20152: Ported Python/import.c over to Argument Clinic.

- Issue #13107: argparse and optparse no longer raises an exception when output

- Issue #19886: Use better estimated memory requirements for bigmem tests.

Tools/Demos
-----------

- Issue #20390: Argument Clinic's "file" output preset now defaults to
  "{dirname}/clinic/{basename}.h".

- Issue #20390: Argument Clinic's "class" directive syntax has been extended
  with two new required arguments: "typedef" and "type_object".

- Issue #20390: Argument Clinic: If __new__ or __init__ functions didn't use
  kwargs (or args), the PyArg_NoKeywords (or PyArg_NoPositional) calls
  generated are only run when the type object is an exact match.

- Issue #20390: Argument Clinic now fails if you have required parameters after
  optional parameters.

- Issue #20390: Argument Clinic converters now have a new template they can
  inject code into: "modifiers".  Code put there is run in the parsing
  function after argument parsing but before the call to the impl.

- Issue #20376: Argument Clinic now escapes backslashes in docstrings.

- Issue #20381: Argument Clinic now sanity checks the default argument when
  c_default is also specified, providing a nice failure message for
  disallowed values.

- Issue #20189: Argument Clinic now ensures that parser functions for
  __new__ are always of type newfunc, the type of the tp_new slot.
  Similarly, parser functions for __init__ are now always of type initproc,
  the type of tp_init.

- Issue #20189: Argument Clinic now suppresses the docstring for __new__
  and __init__ functions if no docstring is provided in the input.

- Issue #20189: Argument Clinic now suppresses the "self" parameter in the
  impl for @staticmethod functions.

- Issue #20294: Argument Clinic now supports argument parsing for __new__ and
  __init__ functions.

- Issue #20299: Argument Clinic custom converters may now change the default
  value of c_default and py_default with a class member.

- Issue #20287: Argument Clinic's output is now configurable, allowing
  delaying its output or even redirecting it to a separate file.

- Issue #20226: Argument Clinic now permits simple expressions
  (e.g. "sys.maxsize - 1") as default values for parameters.

- Issue #19936: Added executable bits or shebang lines to Python scripts which
  requires them.  Disable executable bits and shebang lines in test and
  benchmark files in order to prevent using a random system python, and in
  source files of modules which don't provide command line interface.  Fixed
  shebang lines in the unittestgui and checkpip scripts.

- Issue #20268: Argument Clinic now supports cloning the parameters and
  return converter of existing functions.

- Issue #20228: Argument Clinic now has special support for class special
  methods.

- Issue #20214: Fixed a number of small issues and documentation errors in
  Argument Clinic (see issue for details).

- Issue #20196: Fixed a bug where Argument Clinic did not generate correct
  parsing code for functions with positional-only parameters where all arguments

  encoding declaration on the second line if the first line contains anything
  except a comment.

- Issue #19723: The marker comments Argument Clinic uses have been changed
  to improve readability.

- Issue #20157: When Argument Clinic renames a parameter because its name
  collides with a C keyword, it no longer exposes that rename to PyArg_Parse.

- Issue #20141: Improved Argument Clinic's support for the PyArg_Parse "O!"
  format unit.

  socketmodule.c.


What's New in Python 3.4.0 Beta 2?
==================================

Release date: 2014-01-05

Core and Builtins
-----------------

- Issue #17432: Drop UCS2 from names of Unicode functions in python3.def.

- Issue #19526: Exclude all new API from the stable ABI. Exceptions can be
  made if a need is demonstrated.

- Issue #19969: PyBytes_FromFormatV() now raises an OverflowError if "%c"
  argument is not in range [0; 255].

- Issue #19995: %c, %o, %x, and %X now issue a DeprecationWarning on non-integer
  input; reworded docs to clarify that an integer type should define both __int__
  and __index__.

- Issue #19787: PyThread_set_key_value() now always set the value. In Python
  3.3, the function did nothing if the key already exists (if the current value
  is a non-NULL pointer).

- Issue #14432: Remove the thread state field from the frame structure. Fix a
  crash when a generator is created in a C thread that is destroyed while the
  generator is still used. The issue was that a generator contains a frame, and
  the frame kept a reference to the Python state of the destroyed C thread. The
  crash occurs when a trace function is setup.

- Issue #19576: PyGILState_Ensure() now initializes threads. At startup, Python
  has no concrete GIL. If PyGILState_Ensure() is called from a new thread for
  the first time and PyEval_InitThreads() was not called yet, a GIL needs to be
  created.

- Issue #17576: Deprecation warning emitted now when __int__() or __index__()
  return not int instance.

- Issue #19932: Fix typo in import.h, missing whitespaces in function prototypes.

What's New in Python 3.4.0 Beta 1?
==================================

Release date: 2013-11-24

Core and Builtins
-----------------

- Use the repr of a module name in more places in import, especially
  exceptions.

- Issue #19619: str.encode, bytes.decode and bytearray.decode now use an
  internal API to throw LookupError for known non-text encodings, rather
  than attempting the encoding or decoding operation and then throwing a
  TypeError for an unexpected output type. (The latter mechanism remains
  in place for third party non-text encodings)

- Issue #19183: Implement PEP 456 'secure and interchangeable hash algorithm'.
  Python now uses SipHash24 on all major platforms.

- Issue #12892: The utf-16* and utf-32* encoders no longer allow surrogate code
  points (U+D800-U+DFFF) to be encoded.  The utf-32* decoders no longer decode
  byte sequences that correspond to surrogate code points.  The surrogatepass
  error handler now works with the utf-16* and utf-32* codecs.  Based on
  patches by Victor Stinner and Kang-Hao (Kenny) Lu.

- Issue #17806: Added keyword-argument support for "tabsize" to
  str/bytes.expandtabs().

- Issue #17828: Output type errors in str.encode(), bytes.decode() and
  bytearray.decode() now direct users to codecs.encode() or codecs.decode()
  as appropriate.

- Issue #17828: The interpreter now attempts to chain errors that occur in
  codec processing with a replacement exception of the same type that
  includes the codec name in the error message. It ensures it only does this
  when the creation of the replacement exception won't lose any information.

- Issue #19466: Clear the frames of daemon threads earlier during the
  Python shutdown to call objects destructors. So "unclosed file" resource
  warnings are now corretly emitted for daemon threads.

- Issue #19514: Deduplicate some _Py_IDENTIFIER declarations.
  Patch by Andrei Dorian Duma.

- Issue #17936: Fix O(n**2) behaviour when adding or removing many subclasses
  of a given type.

- Issue #19428: zipimport now handles errors when reading truncated or invalid
  ZIP archive.

- Issue #18408: Add a new PyFrame_FastToLocalsWithError() function to handle
  exceptions when merging fast locals into f_locals of a frame.
  PyEval_GetLocals() now raises an exception and return NULL on failure.

- Issue #19369: Optimized the usage of __length_hint__().

- Issue #18603: Ensure that PyOS_mystricmp and PyOS_mystrnicmp are in the
  Python executable and not removed by the linker's optimizer.

- Issue #19306: Add extra hints to the faulthandler module's stack
  dumps that these are "upside down".

Library
-------

- Issue #3158: doctest can now find doctests in functions and methods
  written in C.

- Issue #13477: Added command line interface to the tarfile module.
  Original patch by Berker Peksag.

- Issue #19674: inspect.signature() now produces a correct signature
  for some builtins.

- Issue #19722: Added opcode.stack_effect(), which
  computes the stack effect of bytecode instructions.

- Issue #19735: Implement private function ssl._create_stdlib_context() to
  create SSLContext objects in Python's stdlib module. It provides a single
  configuration point and makes use of SSLContext.load_default_certs().

- Issue #16203: Add re.fullmatch() function and regex.fullmatch() method,
  which anchor the pattern at both ends of the string to match.
  Original patch by Matthew Barnett.

- Issue #13592: Improved the repr for regular expression pattern objects.
  Based on patch by Hugo Lopes Tavares.

  loads CA certs for authentication of server certs.

- Issue #19673: Add pathlib to the stdlib as a provisional module (PEP 428).

- Issue #16596: pdb in a generator now properly skips over yield and
  yield from rather than stepping out of the generator into its
  caller.  (This is essential for stepping through asyncio coroutines.)

  dis.Bytecode.current_offset to easily display "current instruction"
  markers in the new disassembly API (Patch by Claudiu Popa).

- Issue #19552: venv now supports bootstrapping pip into virtual environments

- Issue #17134: Finalize interface to Windows' certificate store. Cert and
  CRL enumeration are now two functions. enum_certificates() also returns
  purpose flags as set of OIDs.

- Issue #18138: Implement cadata argument of SSLContext.load_verify_location()
  to load CA certificates and CRL from memory. It supports PEM and DER
  encoded strings.

- Issue #18775: Add name and block_size attribute to HMAC object. They now
  provide the same API elements as non-keyed cryptographic hash functions.

- Issue #17276: MD5 as default digestmod for HMAC is deprecated. The HMAC
  module supports digestmod names, e.g. hmac.HMAC('sha1').

- Issue #19449: in csv's writerow, handle non-string keys when generating the
  error message that certain keys are not in the 'fieldnames' list.

  parameters to sdist command accidentally rolled back as part of the
  distutils2 rollback.

- Issue #13674: Prevented time.strftime from crashing on Windows when given
  a year before 1900 and a format of %y.

- Issue #19406: implementation of the ensurepip module (part of PEP 453).
  Patch by Donald Stufft and Nick Coghlan.

  of http_proxy for Distutils upload command, a feature accidentally lost
  in the rollback of distutils2.

- Issue #19378: Renamed the "dis.Bytecode.display_code" method to
  "dis.Bytecode.dis" and converted it to returning a string rather than
  printing output.

- Issue #19378: the "line_offset" parameter in the new "dis.get_instructions"
  API has been renamed to "first_line" (and the default value and usage
  changed accordingly). This should reduce confusion with the more common use
  of "offset" in the dis docs to refer to bytecode offsets.

- Issue #18678: Corrected spwd struct member names in spwd module:
  sp_nam->sp_namp, and sp_pwd->sp_pwdp.  The old names are kept as extra
  structseq members, for backward compatibility.

  undocumented pythonw* symlinks are no longer installed anywhere.

- Issue #19553: PEP 453 - "make install" and "make altinstall" now install or

What's New in Python 3.4.0 Alpha 4?
===================================

Release date: 2013-10-20

Core and Builtins
-----------------

- Issue #19301: Give classes and functions that are explicitly marked global a
  global qualname.

- Issue #19279: UTF-7 decoder no longer produces illegal strings.

- Issue #16612: Add "Argument Clinic", a compile-time preprocessor for
  C files to generate argument parsing code.  (See PEP 436.)

- Issue #18810: Shift stat calls in importlib.machinery.FileFinder such that
  the code is optimistic that if something exists in a directory named exactly
  like the possible package being searched for that it's in actuality a
  directory.

- Issue #18416: importlib.machinery.PathFinder now treats '' as the cwd and
  importlib.machinery.FileFinder no longer special-cases '' to '.'. This leads
  to modules imported from cwd to now possess an absolute file path for
  __file__ (this does not affect modules specified by path on the CLI but it
  does affect -m/runpy). It also allows FileFinder to be more consistent by not
  having an edge case.

- Issue #4555: All exported C symbols are now prefixed with either
  "Py" or "_Py".

- Issue #19219: Speed up marshal.loads(), and make pyc files slightly
  (5% to 10%) smaller.

- Issue #19221: Upgrade Unicode database to version 6.3.0.

- Issue #16742: The result of the C callback PyOS_ReadlineFunctionPointer must
  now be a string allocated by PyMem_RawMalloc() or PyMem_RawRealloc() (or NULL
  if an error occurred), instead of a string allocated by PyMem_Malloc() or
  PyMem_Realloc().

- Issue #19199: Remove ``PyThreadState.tick_counter`` field

- Fix macro expansion of _PyErr_OCCURRED(), and make sure to use it in at
  least one place so as to avoid regressions.

  of data at the front (slice deletion).

- Issue #19014: memoryview.cast() is now allowed on zero-length views.

  in Python 3.4.

- Issue #19276: Fixed the wave module on 64-bit big-endian platforms.

- Issue #19266: Rename the new-in-3.4 ``contextlib.ignore`` context manager
  to ``contextlib.suppress`` in order to be more consistent with existing
  descriptions of that operation elsewhere in the language and standard
  library documentation (Patch by Zero Piraeus).

- Issue #18891: Completed the new email package (provisional) API additions
  by adding new classes EmailMessage, MIMEPart, and ContentManager.

- Issue #18281: Unused stat constants removed from `tarfile`.

- Issue #18999: Multiprocessing now supports 'contexts' with the same API
  as the module, but bound to specified start methods.

- Issue #18468: The re.split, re.findall, and re.sub functions and the group()
  and groups() methods of match object now always return a string or a bytes
  object.

- Issue #18725: The textwrap module now supports truncating multiline text.

  interpreter startup. stat_result and statvfs_result are now hard-coded to
  reside in the os module.

- Issue #19205: Don't import the 're' module in site and sysconfig module to
  speed up interpreter start.

- Issue #9548: Add a minimal "_bootlocale" module that is imported by the
  _io module instead of the full locale module.

  longer shadows the print function.

- Issue #19158: A rare race in BoundedSemaphore could allow .release() too
  often.

- Issue #15805: Add contextlib.redirect_stdout().

- Issue #18716: Deprecate the formatter module.

- Issue #10712: 2to3 has a new "asserts" fixer that replaces deprecated names
  of unittest methods (e.g. failUnlessEqual -> assertEqual).

- Issue #18037: 2to3 now escapes ``'\u'`` and ``'\U'`` in native strings.

- Issue #17839: base64.decodebytes and base64.encodebytes now accept any
  object that exports a 1 dimensional array of bytes (this means the same
  is now also true for base64_codec)

- Issue #19132: The pprint module now supports compact mode.

- Issue #19137: The pprint module now correctly formats instances of set and
  frozenset subclasses.

- Issue #10042: functools.total_ordering now correctly handles
  NotImplemented being returned by the underlying comparison function (Patch
  by Katie Miller)

  when necessary.  Patch by Oscar Benjamin.

- Issue #5845: In site.py, only load readline history from ~/.python_history
  if no history has been read already.  This avoids double writes to the
  history file at shutdown.

  SSL handshake hasn't been done.

- Issue #4366: Fix building extensions on all platforms when --enable-shared
  is used.

- Issue #19030: Fixed `inspect.getmembers` and `inspect.classify_class_attrs`

  for faulty descriptors.  `inspect.classify_class_attrs` no longer returns
  Attributes whose home class is None.

C API
-----

- Issue #1772673: The type of `char*` arguments now changed to `const char*`.

  to allow embedding applications like Blender to force a particular
  encoding and error handler for the standard IO streams (initial patch by
  Bastien Montagne)

Tests
-----

- Issue #19275: Fix test_site on AMD64 Snow Leopard

- Issue #14407: Fix unittest test discovery in test_concurrent_futures.

- Issue #18919: Unified and extended tests for audio modules: aifc, sunau and

- Issue #15663: Update OS X 10.6+ installer to use Tcl/Tk 8.5.15.

- Issue #14499: Fix several problems with OS X universal build support:
    1. ppc arch detection for extension module builds broke with Xcode 5
    2. ppc arch detection in configure did not work on OS X 10.4
    3. -sysroot and -arch flags were unnecessarily duplicated
    4. there was no obvious way to configure an intel-32 only build.

- Issue #19019: Change the OS X installer build script to use CFLAGS instead
  of OPT for special build options.  By setting OPT, some compiler-specific
  options like -fwrapv were overridden and thus not used, which could result
  in broken interpreters when building with clang.

  before moving them into place, to avoid race conditions with other programs
  that may be accessing the maildir directory.

- Issue #14984: On POSIX systems, when netrc is called without a filename
  argument (and therefore is reading the user's $HOME/.netrc file), it now

  objects.

- Issue #17119: Fixed integer overflows when processing large strings and tuples
  in the tkinter module.

- Issue #16799: Switched from getopt to argparse style in regrtest's argument
  parsing.  Added more tests for regrtest's argument parsing.

- Issue #16060: Fix refcounting bug when `__trunc__()` returns an object whose
  `__int__()` gives a non-integer.  Patch by Serhiy Storchaka.

Extension Modules
-----------------

- Issue #16012: Fix a regression in pyexpat. The parser's `UseForeignDTD()`
  method doesn't require an argument again.


What's New in Python 3.3.0 Release Candidate 3?
===============================================

*Release date: 23-Sep-2012*

Core and Builtins
-----------------

- Issue #15900: Fix reference leak in `PyUnicode_TranslateCharmap()`.

- Issue #15926: Fix crash after multiple reinitializations of the interpreter.

- Issue #15895: Fix FILE pointer leak in one error branch of
  `PyRun_SimpleFileExFlags()` when filename points to a pyc/pyo file, closeit is
  false an and set_main_loader() fails.

- Fixes for a few crash and memory leak regressions found by Coverity.

Library
-------

- Issue #15882: Change `_decimal` to accept any coefficient tuple when
  constructing infinities. This is done for backwards compatibility with
  decimal.py: Infinity coefficients are undefined in _decimal (in accordance
  with the specification).

- Issue #15925: Fix a regression in `email.util` where the `parsedate()` and
  `parsedate_tz()` functions did not return None anymore when the argument could
  not be parsed.

  cancel_dump_traceback_later().

- _decimal module: use only C 89 style comments.


What's New in Python 3.3.0 Release Candidate 2?
===============================================

*Release date: 09-Sep-2012*

Core and Builtins
-----------------

- Issue #13992: The trashcan mechanism is now thread-safe.  This eliminates
  sporadic crashes in multi-thread programs when several long deallocator chains
  ran concurrently and involved subclasses of built-in container types.

- Issue #15784: Modify `OSError`.__str__() to better distinguish between errno
  error numbers and Windows error numbers.

  opened.  This was a regression caused by the hash randomization patch.

- Issue #10650: Deprecate the watchexp parameter of the `Decimal.quantize()`
  method.

- Issue #15785: Modify `window.get_wch()` API of the curses module: return a
  character for most keys, and an integer for special keys, instead of always
  returning an integer. So it is now possible to distinguish special keys like
  keypad keys.

- Issue #14223: Fix `window.addch()` of the curses module for special characters
  like curses.ACS_HLINE: the Python function addch(int) and addch(bytes) is now
  calling the C function waddch()/mvwaddch() (as it was done in Python 3.2),
  instead of wadd_wch()/mvwadd_wch(). The Python function addch(str) is still
  calling the C function wadd_wch()/mvwadd_wch() if the Python curses is linked
  to libncursesw.

  problem because these was no regression test. A test has been added as part of
  this patch)

- Issue #15761: Fix crash when ``PYTHONEXECUTABLE`` is set on Mac OS X.

- Issue #15726: Fix incorrect bounds checking in PyState_FindModule.  Patch by

  classification scheme (splitting them across the new CE section, IPC and text
  processing). Operating system limitations can be reflected with the Sphinx
  ``:platform:`` tag, it doesn't make sense as part of the Table of Contents.

- Issue #4966: Bring the sequence docs up to date for the Py3k transition and
  the many language enhancements since they were original written.

Build
-----

- Issue #13590: Improve support for OS X Xcode 4:
    * Try to avoid building Python or extension modules with problematic
      llvm-gcc compiler.
    * Since Xcode 4 removes ppc support, extension module builds now
      check for ppc compiler support and automatically remove ppc and
      ppc64 archs when not available.
    * Since Xcode 4 no longer install SDKs in default locations,
      extension module builds now revert to using installed headers
      and libs if the SDK used to build the interpreter is not
      available.
    * Update ./configure to use better defaults for universal builds;
      in particular, --enable-universalsdk=yes uses the Xcode default
      SDK and --with-universal-archs now defaults to "intel" if ppc
      not available.

- Issue #14225: Fix Unicode support for curses (#12567) on OS X

- Issue #14928: Fix importlib bootstrap issues by using a custom executable
  (Modules/_freeze_importlib) to build Python/importlib.h.

What's New in Python 3.3.0 Alpha 1?
===================================

*Release date: 05-Mar-2012*

Core and Builtins
-----------------

- Issue #14172: Fix reference leak when marshalling a buffer-like object
  (other than a bytes object).

- Issue #13521: dict.setdefault() now does only one lookup for the given key,
  making it "atomic" for many purposes.  Patch by Filip Gruszczyński.

- PEP 409, Issue #6210: "raise X from None" is now supported as a means of
  suppressing the display of the chained exception context. The chained
  context still remains available as the __context__ attribute.

- Issue #10181: New memoryview implementation fixes multiple ownership
  and lifetime issues of dynamically allocated Py_buffer members (#9990)
  as well as crashes (#8305, #7433). Many new features have been added
  (See whatsnew/3.3), and the documentation has been updated extensively.
  The ndarray test object from _testbuffer.c implements all aspects of
  PEP-3118, so further development towards the complete implementation
  of the PEP can proceed in a test-driven manner.

  Thanks to Nick Coghlan, Antoine Pitrou and Pauli Virtanen for review
  and many ideas.

- Issue #12834: Fix incorrect results of memoryview.tobytes() for
  non-contiguous arrays.

- Issue #5231: Introduce memoryview.cast() method that allows changing
  format and shape without making a copy of the underlying memory.

  compile multiple statements as a single interactive statement.

- Fix the builtin module initialization code to store the init function for
  future reinitialization.

- Issue #8052: The posix subprocess module would take a long time closing
  all possible file descriptors in the child process rather than just open
  file descriptors.  It now closes only the open fds if possible for the
  default close_fds=True behavior.

- Issue #13629: Renumber the tokens in token.h so that they match the indexes
  into _PyParser_TokenNames.

- Issue #13752: Add a casefold() method to str.

- Fix OSError.__init__ and OSError.__new__ so that each of them can be
  overriden and take additional arguments (followup to issue #12555).

  noticing.

- Issue #13505: Pickle bytes objects in a way that is compatible with
  Python 2 when using protocols <= 2.

  stream.  It was already the case with Python 2.  However, the corresponding
  sys module entries are now set to None (instead of an unusable file object).

  on POSIX systems supporting anonymous memory mappings.  Patch by
  Charles-François Natali.

  to allow compiling extension modules with -Wswitch-enum on gcc.
  Initial patch by Floris Bruynooghe.

- Issue #10227: Add an allocation cache for a single slice object.  Patch by
  Stefan Behnel.

- Issue #13393: BufferedReader.read1() now asks the full requested size to
  the raw stream instead of limiting itself to the buffer size.

- Issue #13392: Writing a pyc file should now be atomic under Windows as well.

- Issue #13333: The UTF-7 decoder now accepts lone surrogates (the encoder
  already accepts them).

- Issue #13389: Full garbage collection passes now clear the freelists for
  list and dict objects.  They already cleared other freelists in the
  interpreter.

- Issue #13327: Remove the need for an explicit None as the second argument
  to os.utime, os.lutimes, os.futimes, os.futimens, os.futimesat, in
  order to update to the current time. Also added keyword argument
  handling to os.utimensat in order to remove the need for explicit None.

- Issue #13350: Simplify some C code by replacing most usages of
  PyUnicode_Format by PyUnicode_FromFormat.

- Issue #13342: input() used to ignore sys.stdin's and sys.stdout's unicode
  error handler in interactive mode (when calling into PyOS_Readline()).

- Issue #9896: Add start, stop, and step attributes to range objects.

- Issue #13018: Fix reference leaks in error paths in dictobject.c.
  Patch by Suman Saha.

- Issue #13201: Define '==' and '!=' to compare range objects based on
  the sequence of values they define (instead of comparing based on
  object identity).

- Issue #1294232: In a few cases involving metaclass inheritance, the
  interpreter would sometimes invoke the wrong metaclass when building a new
  class object. These cases now behave correctly. Patch by Daniel Urban.

- Issue #12753: Add support for Unicode name aliases and named sequences.
  Both ``unicodedata.lookup()`` and '\N{...}' now resolve aliases,
  and ``unicodedata.lookup()`` resolves named sequences too.

- Issue #12170: The count(), find(), rfind(), index() and rindex() methods
  of bytes and bytearray objects now accept an integer between 0 and 255
  as their first argument.  Patch by Petri Lehtinen.

- Issue #12604: VTRACE macro expanded to no-op in _sre.c to avoid compiler
  warnings. Patch by Josh Triplett and Petri Lehtinen.

- Issue #12281: Rewrite the MBCS codec to handle correctly replace and ignore

  as "The pipe is being closed") is now mapped to POSIX errno EPIPE
  (previously EINVAL).

- Issue #12911: Fix memory consumption when calculating the repr() of huge
  tuples or lists.

- PEP 393: flexible string representation. Thanks to Torsten Becker for the
  initial implementation, and Victor Stinner for various bug fixes.

- Issue #14081: The 'sep' and 'maxsplit' parameter to str.split, bytes.split,
  and bytearray.split may now be passed as keyword arguments.

- Issue #13012: The 'keepends' parameter to str.splitlines may now be passed
  as a keyword argument: "my_string.splitlines(keepends=True)".  The same

- Issue #11828: startswith and endswith now accept None as slice index.
  Patch by Torsten Becker.

- Issue #11168: Remove filename debug variable from PyEval_EvalFrameEx().

- Issue #13590: On OS X 10.7 and 10.6 with Xcode 4.2, building
  Distutils-based packages with C extension modules may fail because
  Apple has removed gcc-4.2, the version used to build python.org
  64-bit/32-bit Pythons.  If the user does not explicitly override
  the default C compiler by setting the CC environment variable,
  Distutils will now attempt to compile extension modules with clang
  if gcc-4.2 is required but not found. Also as a convenience, if
  the user does explicitly set CC, substitute its value as the default
  compiler in the Distutils LDSHARED configuration variable for OS X.
  (Note, the python.org 32-bit-only Pythons use gcc-4.0 and the 10.4u
  SDK, neither of which are available in Xcode 4.  This change does not
  attempt to override settings to support their use with Xcode 4.)

- Issue #13846: Add time.monotonic(), monotonic clock.

- Issue #8184: multiprocessing: On Windows, don't set SO_REUSEADDR on

  registry.

- Issue #13781: Fix GzipFile bug that caused an exception to be raised when

- Issue #8887: "pydoc somebuiltin.somemethod" (or help('somebuiltin.somemethod')
  in Python code) now finds the doc of the method.

- Issue #10968: Remove indirection in threading.  The public names (Event,
  Condition, etc.) used to be factory functions returning instances of hidden
  classes (_Event, _Condition, etc.), because (if Guido recalls correctly) this

  This fixes a bug with the remove (uninstall) feature on Windows.

- Issues #12169 and #10510: Factor out code used by various packaging commands
  to make HTTP POST requests, and make sure it uses CRLF.

- Issue #12016: Multibyte CJK decoders now resynchronize faster. They only
  ignore the first byte of an invalid byte sequence. For example,
  b'\xff\n'.decode('gb2312', 'replace') gives '\ufffd\n' instead of '\ufffd'.

- Issue #12459: time.sleep() now raises a ValueError if the sleep length is
  negative, instead of an infinite sleep on Windows or raising an IOError on
  Linux for example, to have the same behaviour on all platforms.

  instead of text mode using the locale encoding, to support other encodings
  than UTF-8 (scripts using the coding cookie).

- Issue #12451: xml.dom.pulldom: parse() now opens files in binary mode instead
  of the text mode (using the locale encoding) to avoid encoding issues.

  disk space statistics.

- Issue #12451: The XInclude default loader of xml.etree now decodes files from

  to read the Python script from the right encoding.

- Issue #12451: distutils now opens the setup script in binary mode to read the
  encoding cookie, instead of opening it in UTF-8.

- Issue #9516: On Mac OS X, change Distutils to no longer globally attempt to
  check or set the MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET environment variable for the
  interpreter process.  This could cause failures in non-Distutils subprocesses
  and was unreliable since tests or user programs could modify the interpreter
  environment after Distutils set it.  Instead, have Distutils set the
  deployment target only in the environment of each build subprocess.  It is
  still possible to globally override the default by setting
  MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET before launching the interpreter; its value must be
  greater or equal to the default value, the value with which the interpreter
  was built.  Also, implement the same handling in packaging.

  Lehtinen.

- Issue #9205: concurrent.futures.ProcessPoolExecutor now detects killed
  children and raises BrokenProcessPool in such a situation.  Previously it
  would reliably freeze/deadlock.

  ``multiprocessing.Process``.  Also, fix Process.join() to not use polling
  anymore, when given a timeout.
