-- 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.
-
-- Issue #17432: Drop UCS2 from names of Unicode functions in python3.def.
-
-- Issue #19969: PyBytes_FromFormatV() now raises an OverflowError if "%c"

-
-- Issue #20317: ExitStack.__exit__ could create a self-referential loop if an

- already set before trying to fix it.

-
-- Issue #20262: Warnings are raised now when duplicate names are added in the

- module, rather than silently let them emit clear text data.
-
-- Issue #18116: getpass was always getting an error when testing /dev/tty,
- and thus was always falling back to stdin, and would then raise an exception

- It is now treated as seconds once again.
-
-- Issue #17429: platform.linux_distribution() now decodes files from the UTF-8
- encoding with the surrogateescape error handler, instead of decoding from the
- locale encoding in strict mode. It fixes the function on Fedora 19 which is

- written by Toshio Kuratomi.
-
-- Issue #19929: Call os.read with 32768 within subprocess.Popen.communicate

-- 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.

-What's New in Python 3.3.0 Release Candidate 2?
-===============================================
-
-*Release date: 09-Sep-2012*
-
-Core and Builtins

- 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.

-- Issue #15340: Fix importing the random module when ``/dev/urandom`` cannot be
- 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.

-Build
------
-
-- Issue #13590: Improve support for OS X Xcode 4:

- 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.

- extension module builds now revert to using installed headers
- and libs if the SDK used to build the interpreter is not
- available.

- in particular, --enable-universalsdk=yes uses the Xcode default
- SDK and --with-universal-archs now defaults to "intel" if ppc
- not available.

-- 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.)

- 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
- code pre-dates the ability to subclass extension types. It is now possible

- to make HTTP POST requests, and make sure it uses CRLF.
-
-- Issue #12016: Multibyte CJK decoders now resynchronize faster. They only

- if the process has only one pipe.
-

-
-- 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.

- instead of os.stat.
-
-- Issue #12021: Make mmap's read() method argument optional. Patch by Petri
- Lehtinen.
-
-- Issue #9205: concurrent.futures.ProcessPoolExecutor now detects killed

- Web site.
-
-- Avoid failing in test_urllibnet.test_bad_address when some overzealous
- DNS service (e.g. OpenDNS) resolves a non-existent domain name. The test

- handling of the parent process.
-
-- Issue #8716: Avoid crashes caused by Aqua Tk on OSX when attempting to run
- test_tk or test_ttk_guionly under a username that is not currently logged
- in to the console windowserver (as may be the case under buildbot or ssh).
-
-- Issue #12407: Explicitly skip test_capi.EmbeddingTest under Windows.
-
-- Issue #12400: regrtest -W doesn't rerun the tests twice anymore, but captures
- the output and displays it on failure instead. regrtest -v doesn't print the
- error twice anymore if there is only one error.
-
-- Issue #12141: Install copies of template C module file so that
- test_build_ext of test_distutils and test_command_build_ext of
- test_packaging are no longer silently skipped when
- run outside of a build directory.
-
-- Issue #8746: Add additional tests for os.chflags() and os.lchflags().

-
-- Issue #11223: Skip test_lock_acquire_interruption() and

+On OS X 10.7 and 10.6 with Xcode 4.2, building Distutils-based packages with

+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
