+- Issue #10827: Changed the rules for 2-digit years. The time.asctime
+ function will now format any year when ``time.accept2dyear`` is
+ false and will accept years >= 1000 otherwise. The year range
+ accepted by ``time.mktime`` and ``time.strftime`` is still system
+ dependent, but ``time.mktime`` will now accept full range supported
+ by the OS. Conversion of 2-digit years to 4-digit is deprecated.

- Issue #7858: Raise an error properly when os.utime() fails under Windows
on an existing file.
