+Python 3000 Release Notes
+=========================
+
+Release notes describe unfinished work in particular releases.
+
+Please report bugs to http://bugs.python.org/.
+
+Version 3.0a1 - Release Date 31-Aug-2007
+----------------------------------------
+
+- SSL support is disabled. This causes a test_ssl to be skipped.
+ The new SSL support in the 2.6 trunk (with server-side support and
+ certificate verification) will be ported for 3.0a2.
+
+- Platform support is reduced. We've mostly tested on Linux, OSX,
+ and Windows.
+
+- There are still some open issues on Windows.
+
+- Some new features are very fresh, and probably contain bugs: the new
+ format() method on strings (PEP 3101), the strict separation of
+ bytes and strings, the new buffer API (PEP 3118).
