Core and builtins
-----------------
+- Issue #1635: Platform independent creation and representation of NaN
+ and INF. float("nan"), float("inf") and float("-inf") now work on every
+ platform with IEEE 754 semantics.
+
+- Added case insensitive comparsion methods ``PyOS_stricmp(char*, char*)``
+ and ``PyOS_strnicmp(char*, char*, Py_ssize_t)``.
+
- Compiler now generates simpler and faster code for dictionary literals.
The oparg for BUILD_MAP now indicates an estimated dictionary size.
There is a new opcode, STORE_MAP, for adding entries to the dictionary.
