 Core and builtins
 -----------------
 
+- SF bug #900092: When tracing (e.g. for hotshot), restore 'return' events for
+  exceptions that cause a function to exit.
+
 - The implementation of set() and frozenset() was revised to use its
   own internal data structure.  Memory consumption is reduced by 1/3
   and there are modest speed-ups as well.  The API is unchanged.
