+  removed.

 - New builtin function enumerate(x), from PEP 279.  Example:
   enumerate("abc") is an iterator returning (0,"a"), (1,"b"), (2,"c").
   The argument can be an arbitrary iterable object.

+- PyRange_New() now raises ValueError if the fourth argument is not 1.
+  This is part of the removal of deprecated features of the xrange

   coercion if both arguments have the same type but this type has the
   CHECKTYPES flag set.  This is to better support proxies.
