 +What's New in Python 3.2.4
 +==========================
 +
 +*Release date: XX-XX-XXXX*
 +
 +Core and Builtins
 +-----------------
 +
 +- Issue #14334: Prevent in a segfault in type.__getattribute__ when it was not
 +  passed strings.
 +
 +- Issue #1469629: Allow cycles through an object's __dict__ slot to be
 +  collected. (For example if ``x.__dict__ is x``).
 +
 +- 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.
 +
 +Library
 +-------
 +
 +- Issue #11686: Added missing entries to email package __all__ lists
 +  (mostly the new Bytes classes).
 +
 +- Issue #10484: Fix the CGIHTTPServer's PATH_INFO handling problem.
 +
 +- Issue #11199: Fix the with urllib which hangs on particular ftp urls.
 +
 +- Issue #14062: Header objects now correctly respect the 'linesep' setting
 +  when processed by BytesParser (which smtplib.SMTP.send_message uses).
 +
 +- Issue #14291: Email now defaults to utf-8 for non-ASCII unicode headers
 +  instead of raising an error.  This fixes a regression relative to 2.7.
 +
 +- Issue #5219: Prevent event handler cascade in IDLE.
 +
 +- Issue #14184: Increase the default stack size for secondary threads on
 +  Mac OS X to avoid interpreter crashes when using threads on 10.7.
 +
 +- Issue #10543: Fix unittest test discovery with Jython bytecode files.
 +

 +  Windows when the child process has already exited.
 +
 +- Issue #14195: An issue that caused weakref.WeakSet instances to incorrectly
 +  return True for a WeakSet instance 'a' in both 'a < a' and 'a > a' has been
 +  fixed.
 +
 +- Issue #14177: marshal.loads() now raises TypeError when given an unicode
 +  string.  Patch by Guilherme Gonçalves.
 +
 +- Issue #14159: Fix the len() of weak containers (WeakSet, WeakKeyDictionary,
 +  WeakValueDictionary) to return a better approximation when some objects
 +  are dead or dying.  Moreover, the implementation is now O(1) rather than
 +  O(n).
 +
 +- Issue #13125: Silence spurious test_lib2to3 output when in non-verbose mode.
 +  Patch by Mikhail Novikov.
 +
 +- Issue #13447: Add a test file to host regression tests for bugs in the
 +  scripts found in the Tools directory.
 +

 +  on 32-bit architectures. Initial patch by Philippe Devalkeneer.
 +
 +Extension Modules
 +-----------------
 +
 +- Issue #14212: The re module didn't retain a reference to buffers it was
 +  scanning, resulting in segfaults.
