| 8 | ============================================= |
| 9 | |
| 10 | *Release date: XX-XXX-2008* |
| 11 | |
| 12 | Core and Builtins |
| 13 | ----------------- |
| 14 | |
Amaury Forgeot d'Arc | 3571fbf | 2008-09-01 19:52:00 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 15 | - Issue #3751: str.rpartition would perform a left-partition when called with |
| 16 | a unicode argument. |
| 17 | |

Vinay Sajip | 35e3b03 | 2008-09-01 14:33:59 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 21 | PyArg_ParseTuple and friends, which occurred when the argument for "s*" |
Antoine Pitrou | d4ae97b | 2008-08-29 18:39:48 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 22 | was correctly parsed but parsing of subsequent arguments failed. |

Antoine Pitrou | 0668c62 | 2008-08-26 22:42:08 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 25 | match Python 2.5 speed despite the __instancecheck__ / __subclasscheck__ |
| 26 | mechanism. In the process, fix a bug where isinstance() and issubclass(), |
| 27 | when given a tuple of classes as second argument, were looking up |
| 28 | __instancecheck__ / __subclasscheck__ on the tuple rather than on each |
| 29 | type object. |

| 77 | warnings.catch_warnings() along with some API cleanup. Expanding the tests |
| 78 | for catch_warnings() also led to an improvement in the raising of a |
| 79 | DeprecationWarning related to warnings.warn_explicit(). |
| 80 | |
Benjamin Peterson | 973e6c2 | 2008-09-01 23:12:58 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 81 | - The deprecation warnings for the old camelCase threading API were removed. |

Amaury Forgeot d'Arc | 90d0717 | 2008-07-21 21:36:24 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 114 | What's New in Python 2.6 beta 3? |
| 115 | ================================ |
| 116 | |
Barry Warsaw | 07a4a38 | 2008-08-21 01:15:08 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 117 | *Release date: 20-Aug-2008* |
Amaury Forgeot d'Arc | 90d0717 | 2008-07-21 21:36:24 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 118 | |
| 119 | Core and Builtins |
| 120 | ----------------- |
| 121 | |
Guido van Rossum | f840296 | 2008-08-20 15:01:50 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 122 | - Issue #1878: Remove Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_VERSION_TAG from |
| 123 | Py_TPFLAGS_DEFAULT when not building the core. This means 3rd party |
| 124 | extensions do not automatically benefit from the class attribute |
| 125 | cache; they will have to explicitly add Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_VERSION_TAG |
| 126 | to their tp_flags field if they care. This is a backwards |
| 127 | compatibility feature; in 3.0, all types will use the cache by |
| 128 | default. |
| 129 | |
Benjamin Peterson | f647dc1 | 2008-08-20 01:27:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 130 | - Keyword arguments can now follow starred arguments. (``f(a, *args, |
| 131 | keyword=23)`` is now valid syntax.) |
| 132 | |
Thomas Heller | 0ad5ae0 | 2008-08-19 19:25:04 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 133 | - ctypes function pointers that are COM methods have a boolean True |
| 134 | value again. |
| 135 | |
Martin v. Löwis | f91d46a | 2008-08-12 14:49:50 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 136 | - Issue #3139: Make buffer-interface thread-safe wrt. PyArg_ParseTuple, |
| 137 | by denying s# to parse objects that have a releasebuffer procedure, |
| 138 | and introducing s*. |
| 139 | |
Georg Brandl | 1e13ea9 | 2008-08-11 09:07:59 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 140 | - Issue #3537: Fix an assertion failure when an empty but presized dict |
| 141 | object was stored in the freelist. |
| 142 | |
Mark Dickinson | b646757 | 2008-08-04 21:30:09 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 143 | - Issue #1481296: Make long(float('nan')) and int(float('nan')) raise |
| 144 | ValueError consistently across platforms. |
| 145 | |
Amaury Forgeot d'Arc | 39fd672 | 2008-07-31 21:28:03 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 146 | - Issue #3479: On platforms where sizeof(int) is smaller than sizeof(long) |
| 147 | (64bit Unix, for example), unichr() would truncate its argument and return |
| 148 | u'\x00' for unichr(2**32). Now it properly raises an OverflowError. |
| 149 | |
Neal Norwitz | e7d8be8 | 2008-07-31 17:17:14 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 150 | - Apply security patches from Apple. |
| 151 | |
Amaury Forgeot d'Arc | 246daed | 2008-07-31 00:42:16 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 152 | - Issue #2542: Now that issubclass() may call arbitrary code, ensure that |
| 153 | PyErr_ExceptionMatches returns 0 when an exception occurs there. |
| 154 | |
Antoine Pitrou | 92f8216 | 2008-07-25 22:22:08 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 155 | - Issue #1819: function calls with several named parameters are now on |
| 156 | average 35% faster (as measured by pybench). |
| 157 | |
Amaury Forgeot d'Arc | e4921fe | 2008-07-21 22:00:38 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 158 | - Issue #2378: An unexpected UnboundLocalError or NameError could appear when |
| 159 | the python debugger steps into a class statement: the free variables (local |
| 160 | variables defined in an outer scope) would be deleted from the outer scope. |
| 161 | |
Gregory P. Smith | 0470bab | 2008-07-22 04:46:32 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 162 | - Issue #2620: Overflow checking when allocating or reallocating memory |
| 163 | was not always being done properly in some python types and extension |
| 164 | modules. PyMem_MALLOC, PyMem_REALLOC, PyMem_NEW and PyMem_RESIZE have |
| 165 | all been updated to perform better checks and places in the code that |
| 166 | would previously leak memory on the error path when such an allocation |
| 167 | failed have been fixed. |
| 168 | |
Amaury Forgeot d'Arc | 90d0717 | 2008-07-21 21:36:24 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 169 | Library |

| 173 | |
Benjamin Peterson | e977ad4 | 2008-08-20 01:42:01 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 174 | - The methods ``is_in_tuple()``, ``is_vararg()``, and ``is_keywordarg()`` of |
| 175 | symtable.Symbol have been deprecated for removal in 3.0 and the next release. |
| 176 | |
Amaury Forgeot d'Arc | 351ffb8 | 2008-08-18 19:23:47 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 177 | - Issue #2234: distutils failed for some versions of the cygwin compiler. The |
| 178 | version reported by these tools does not necessarily follow the python |
| 179 | version numbering scheme, so the module is less strict when parsing it. |
| 180 | |
Nick Coghlan | f70385a | 2008-08-18 12:42:46 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 181 | - Issue #2235: Added Py3k warnings for types which will become unhashable |
| 182 | under the stricter __hash__ inheritance rules in 3.0. Several types |
| 183 | which did not meet the rules for hash invariants and were already |
| 184 | unhashable in 3.0 have now been explicitly flagged as unhashable in |
| 185 | 2.6 as well (collections.Mapping, collections.Set, unittest.TestSuite, |
| 186 | xml.dom.minidom.NamedNodeMap, numbers.Number, UserList.UserList) |
| 187 | |
Brett Cannon | 88f801d | 2008-08-18 00:46:22 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 188 | - Update __all__ for cookielib, csv, os, urllib2, and weakref to include things |
| 189 | imported into the module but exposed as part of the module's API. |
| 190 | |

| 204 | in a redirect. |

Brett Cannon | 721b145 | 2008-08-16 22:00:27 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 207 | BaseHTTPServer, cgi (and rfc822), httplib. |
Brett Cannon | abe423e | 2008-08-16 21:47:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 208 | |

Brett Cannon | bf3157b | 2008-08-14 05:00:03 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 219 | - Silence the DeprecationWarning of rfc822 when it is imported by mimetools |
| 220 | since mimetools itself is deprecated. Because modules are cached, all |
| 221 | subsequent imports of rfc822 will not raise a visible DeprecationWarning. |
| 222 | |
Antoine Pitrou | 9fcd4b3 | 2008-08-11 17:21:36 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 223 | - Issue #3134: shutil referenced undefined WindowsError symbol. |

| 233 | |
Guido van Rossum | 59ce901 | 2008-08-09 14:55:34 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 234 | - Issue #3487: sre "bytecode" validator. Passing invalid "re-bytecode" |
| 235 | to _sre.compile() will now be rejected. This should not affect anybody |
| 236 | since the re.compile() function never generates invalid re-bytecode. |
| 237 | |

| 318 | an integer using operator.index(). |
| 319 | |

Nick Coghlan | 6d6bd44 | 2008-07-15 15:40:22 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 330 | - Issue #2235: __hash__ is once again inherited by default. To allow |
| 331 | collections.Hashable to remain meaningful in the presence of the |
| 332 | default hash implementation (object.__hash__), it is now possible |
| 333 | to explicit block inheritance of hash by setting __hash__=None at |

| 338 | the parent module cannot be found while performing an absolute import. |

Mark Dickinson | 1ec2fcd | 2008-06-20 14:53:43 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 355 | - Issue #3004: Minor change to slice.indices(): the start and stop |
| 356 | arguments are now treated identically, making the behaviour easier |
| 357 | to describe and understand. For example, slice(None, -10, |
| 358 | 1).indices(9) now returns (0, 0, 1) instead of (0, -1, 1), and |
| 359 | slice(None, 10, -1).indices(10) returns (9, 9, -1) instead of (9, |
| 360 | 10, -1). |

Georg Brandl | 3ee81df | 2008-05-17 18:14:43 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 876 | - Issue #1631171: Re-implement the 'warnings' module in C (the |
| 877 | original Python code has been kept as backup). This will allow for |
| 878 | using the 'warning's machinery in such places as the parser where |
| 879 | use of pure Python code is not possible. Both the ``showarning()`` |
| 880 | and ``formatwarning()`` gain an optional 'line' argument which is |
| 881 | not called by default for backwards-compatibility reasons. Setting |
| 882 | ``warnings.showwarning()`` to an implementation that lacks support |
| 883 | for the ``line`` argument will raise a DeprecationWarning. |

Georg Brandl | 3ee81df | 2008-05-17 18:14:43 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 946 | - Issue #2550: The approach used by client/server code for obtaining |
| 947 | ports to listen on in network-oriented tests has been refined in an |
| 948 | effort to facilitate running multiple instances of the entire |
| 949 | regression test suite in parallel without issue. |
| 950 | test_support.bind_port() has been fixed such that it will always |
| 951 | return a unique port -- which wasn't always the case with the |
| 952 | previous implementation, especially if socket options had been set |
| 953 | that affected address reuse (i.e. SO_REUSEADDR, SO_REUSEPORT). The |
| 954 | new implementation of bind_port() will actually raise an exception |
| 955 | if it is passed an AF_INET/SOCK_STREAM socket with either the |
| 956 | SO_REUSEADDR or SO_REUSEPORT socket option set. Furthermore, if |
| 957 | available, bind_port() will set the SO_EXCLUSIVEADDRUSE option on |
| 958 | the socket it's been passed. This currently only applies to |
| 959 | Windows. This option prevents any other sockets from binding to the |
| 960 | host/port we've bound to, thus removing the possibility of the |
| 961 | 'non-deterministic' behaviour, as Microsoft puts it, that occurs |
| 962 | when a second SOCK_STREAM socket binds and accepts to a host/port |
| 963 | that's already been bound by another socket. The optional preferred |
| 964 | port parameter to bind_port() has been removed. Under no |
| 965 | circumstances should tests be hard coding ports! |
| 966 | |
| 967 | test_support.find_unused_port() has also been introduced, which will |
| 968 | pass a temporary socket object to bind_port() in order to obtain an |
| 969 | unused port. The temporary socket object is then closed and |
| 970 | deleted, and the port is returned. This method should only be used |
| 971 | for obtaining an unused port in order to pass to an external program |
| 972 | (i.e. the -accept [port] argument to openssl's s_server mode) or as |
| 973 | a parameter to a server-oriented class that doesn't give you direct |
| 974 | access to the underlying socket used. |
| 975 | |
| 976 | Finally, test_support.HOST has been introduced, which should be used |
| 977 | for the host argument of any relevant socket calls (i.e. bind and |
| 978 | connect). |

Vinay Sajip | b7edfc4 | 2008-04-02 21:10:23 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1262 | - Issue #1881: An internal parser limit has been increased. Also see |
Facundo Batista | fc2d010 | 2008-02-23 12:01:13 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1263 | issue 215555 for a discussion. |
| 1264 | |
Eric Smith | a73fbe7 | 2008-02-23 03:09:44 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1265 | - Added the future_builtins module, which contains hex() and oct(). |
| 1266 | These are the PEP 3127 version of these functions, designed to be |
| 1267 | compatible with the hex() and oct() builtins from Python 3.0. They |
| 1268 | differ slightly in their output formats from the existing, unchanged |
| 1269 | Python 2.6 builtins. The expected usage of the future_builtins |
| 1270 | module is: |
| 1271 | from future_builtins import hex, oct |
| 1272 | |
Eric Smith | 7ef40bf | 2008-02-20 23:34:22 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1273 | - Issue #1600: Modifed PyOS_ascii_formatd to use at most 2 digit |
| 1274 | exponents for exponents with absolute value < 100. Follows C99 |
| 1275 | standard. This is a change on Windows, which would use 3 digits. |
| 1276 | Also, added 'n' to the formats that PyOS_ascii_formatd understands, |
| 1277 | so that any alterations it does to the resulting string will be |
| 1278 | available in stringlib/formatter.h (for float.__format__). |
| 1279 | |
Eric Smith | 5a3c135 | 2008-02-19 13:21:56 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1280 | - Implemented PEP 3101, Advanced String Formatting. This adds a new |
| 1281 | builtin format(); a format() method for str and unicode; a |
| 1282 | __format__() method to object, str, unicode, int, long, float, and |
| 1283 | datetime; the class string.Formatter; and the C API |
| 1284 | PyObject_Format(). |
| 1285 | |
Georg Brandl | 3ee81df | 2008-05-17 18:14:43 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1286 | - Fixed several potential crashes, all caused by specially crafted |
| 1287 | __del__ methods exploiting objects in temporarily inconsistent |
| 1288 | state. |
Amaury Forgeot d'Arc | 632fad3 | 2008-02-16 20:55:24 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1289 | |

| 1336 | compiler, even in the presence of an "else" clause, which is |
| 1337 | supposed to be run when the condition is false. Now the compiler |
| 1338 | correctly emits bytecode for the "else" suite. |
