+- array.array is now a type object. A new format character
+  'u' indicates Py_UNICODE arrays. For those, .tounicode and
+  .fromunicode methods are available. Arrays now support __iadd__
+  and __imul__.
+
 - dl now builds on every system that has dlfcn.h.  Failure in case
   of sizeof(int)!=sizeof(long)!=sizeof(void*) is delayed until dl.open
   is called.
