 Core and Builtins
 -----------------
 
+- Removed the __oct__ and __hex__ special methods and added a bin()
+  builtin function.
+
+- PEP 3127: octal literals now start with "0o". Old-style octal literals
+  are invalid. There are binary literals with a prefix of "0b".
+  This also affects int(x, 0).
+
 - None, True, False are now keywords.
 
 - PEP 3119: isinstance() and issubclass() can be overridden.
