-----------------
+- Patch #1346214: Statements like "if 0: suite" are now again optimized
+ away like they were in Python 2.4.

- Builtin exceptions are now full-blown new-style classes instead of
instances pretending to be classes, which speeds up exception handling
by about 80% in comparison to 2.5a2.
