+- Bug #1529297: The rewrite of doctest for Python 2.4 unintentionally
+ lost that tests are sorted by name before being run. This rarely
+ matters for well-written tests, but can create baffling symptoms if
+ side effects from one test to the next affect outcomes. ``DocTestFinder``
+ has been changed to sort the list of tests it returns.

- The distutils version has been changed to 2.5.0.
- Bug #978833: Really close underlying socket in _socketobject.close.
