Eric Smith | ee931b7 | 2010-01-27 00:28:29 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 15 | - Issue #7766: Change sys.getwindowsversion() return value to a named |
| 16 | tuple and add the additional members returned in an OSVERSIONINFOEX |
| 17 | structure. The new members are service_pack_major, service_pack_minor, |

| 21 | could crash in many places because of the PyByteArray_AS_STRING() macro |
| 22 | returning NULL. The macro now returns a statically allocated empty |
| 23 | string instead. |
| 24 | |
Antoine Pitrou | 6467213 | 2010-01-13 07:55:48 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 25 | - Issue #7622: Improve the split(), rsplit(), splitlines() and replace() |
| 26 | methods of bytes, bytearray and unicode objects by using a common |
| 27 | implementation based on stringlib's fast search. Patch by Florent Xicluna. |
| 28 | |

| 30 | alpha 2, including: (1) a serious 'wrong output' bug that could |
| 31 | occur for long (> 40 digit) input strings, (2) a crash in dtoa.c |
| 32 | that occurred in debug builds when parsing certain long numeric |
Mark Dickinson | 23df3d2 | 2010-01-17 13:37:57 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 33 | strings corresponding to subnormal values, (3) a memory leak for |
| 34 | some values large enough to cause overflow, and (4) a number of |
| 35 | flaws that could lead to incorrectly rounded results. |

| 51 | :class:`zipfile.ZipExtFile` class used to represent files stored inside |

| 53 | be wrapped in a :class:`io.BufferedReader` object for more speedups. |
| 54 | It also solves an issue where interleaved calls to `read()` and |
| 55 | `readline()` give wrong results. Patch by Nir Aides. |

Tarek Ziadé | f14c7fc | 2010-01-24 00:33:32 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 64 | - Issue #7748: Since unicode values are supported for some metadata options |
| 65 | in Distutils, the DistributionMetadata get_* methods will now return an utf-8 |
| 66 | encoded string for them. This ensure that the upload and register commands |
| 67 | send the right values to PyPI without any error. |

Benjamin Peterson | 4f51baf | 2009-12-05 18:40:02 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 126 | |
| 127 | Core and Builtins |
| 128 | ----------------- |
| 129 | |
Benjamin Peterson | ecdae19 | 2010-01-04 00:43:01 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 130 | - The __complex__ method is now looked up on the class of instances to make it |
| 131 | consistent with other special methods. |

Mark Dickinson | 1b34d25 | 2010-01-01 17:27:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 136 | - Issue #5080: A number of functions and methods previously produced a |
| 137 | DeprecationWarning when passed a float argument where an integer was |
| 138 | expected. These functions and methods now raise TypeError instead. |
| 139 | The majority of the effects of this change are in the extension |
| 140 | modules, but some core functions and methods are affected: notably |
| 141 | the 'chr', 'range' and 'xrange' builtins, and many unicode/str |
| 142 | methods. |

| 152 | |
Amaury Forgeot d'Arc | 8645a5c | 2009-12-29 22:03:38 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 153 | - Issue #7413: Passing '\0' as the separator to datetime.datetime.isoformat() |
| 154 | used to drop the time part of the result. |
| 155 | |
Mark Dickinson | 4657283 | 2009-12-27 14:55:57 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 156 | - Issue #1811: improve accuracy and cross-platform consistency for |
| 157 | true division of integers: the result of a/b is now correctly |
| 158 | rounded for ints a and b (at least on IEEE 754 platforms), and in |
| 159 | particular does not depend on the internal representation of a long. |
| 160 | |

| 163 | |
Ronald Oussoren | 92919a6 | 2009-12-24 13:30:58 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 164 | - Issue #6834: replace the implementation for the 'python' and 'pythonw' |
| 165 | executables on OSX. |
| 166 | |
| 167 | These executables now work properly with the arch(1) command: |
| 168 | ``arch -ppc python`` will start a universal binary version of python |
| 169 | in PPC mode (unlike previous releases). |
| 170 | |
R. David Murray | 0a0a1a8 | 2009-12-14 16:28:26 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 171 | - Issue #1680159: unicode coercion during an 'in' operation no longer masks |
| 172 | the underlying error when the coercion fails for the left hand operand. |

| 193 | renaming of `cPickle` to `pickle`. The warning was annoying since there's |
| 194 | no alternative to cPickle if you care about performance. Patch by Florent |
| 195 | Xicluna. |

Amaury Forgeot d'Arc | d728871 | 2009-12-01 21:51:04 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 309 | |
Mark Dickinson | 9dd5e16 | 2009-11-23 20:54:09 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 310 | - Remove switch from "%f" formatting to "%g" formatting for floats |

| 314 | "%.120g" % 1e-100 used to raise OverflowError, but now gives the |

| 322 | on MacOSX 10.6. |
| 323 | |
Mark Dickinson | b678de8 | 2009-11-19 18:41:49 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 324 | - Issue #7117: repr(x) for a float x returns a result based on the |
| 325 | shortest decimal string that's guaranteed to round back to x under |
| 326 | correct rounding (with round-half-to-even rounding mode). |
| 327 | Previously it gave a string based on rounding x to 17 decimal digits. |
| 328 | repr(x) for a complex number behaves similarly. On platforms where |
| 329 | the correctly-rounded strtod and dtoa code is not supported (see below), |
| 330 | repr is unchanged. |
| 331 | |
| 332 | - Issue #7117: On almost all platforms: float-to-string and |
| 333 | string-to-float conversions within Python are now correctly rounded. |
| 334 | Places these conversions occur include: str for floats and complex |
| 335 | numbers; the float and complex constructors; old-style and new-style |
| 336 | numeric formatting; serialization and deserialization of floats and |
| 337 | complex numbers using marshal, pickle and json; parsing of float and |
| 338 | imaginary literals in Python code; Decimal-to-float conversion. |
| 339 | |
| 340 | The conversions use a Python-adapted version of David Gay's |
| 341 | well-known dtoa.c, providing correctly-rounded strtod and dtoa C |
| 342 | functions. This code is supported on Windows, and on Unix-like |
| 343 | platforms using gcc, icc or suncc as the C compiler. There may be a |
| 344 | small number of platforms on which correct operation of this code |
| 345 | cannot be guaranteed, so the code is not used: notably, this applies |
| 346 | to platforms where the C double format is not IEEE 754 binary64, and |
| 347 | to platforms on x86 hardware where the x87 FPU is set to 64-bit |
| 348 | precision and Python's configure script is unable to determine how |
| 349 | to change the FPU precision. On these platforms conversions use the |
| 350 | platform strtod and dtoa, as before. |
| 351 | |
Mark Dickinson | bd15a06 | 2009-11-18 19:33:35 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 352 | - Issue #7117: Backport round implementation from Python 3.x. round |
Mark Dickinson | b678de8 | 2009-11-19 18:41:49 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 353 | now uses the correctly-rounded string <-> float conversions |
| 354 | described above (when available), and so produces correctly rounded |
| 355 | results that will display nicely under the float repr. There are |
| 356 | two related small changes: (1) round now accepts any class with an |
| 357 | __index__ method for its second argument (but no longer accepts |
Mark Dickinson | bd15a06 | 2009-11-18 19:33:35 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 358 | floats for the second argument), and (2) an excessively large second |
| 359 | integer argument (e.g., round(1.234, 10**100)) no longer raises an |
| 360 | exception. |

| 2264 | warnings.catch_warnings() along with some API cleanup. Expanding the tests |

| 2338 | ----------------- |
| 2339 | |
Guido van Rossum | f840296 | 2008-08-20 15:01:50 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2340 | - Issue #1878: Remove Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_VERSION_TAG from |
| 2341 | Py_TPFLAGS_DEFAULT when not building the core. This means 3rd party |
| 2342 | extensions do not automatically benefit from the class attribute |
| 2343 | cache; they will have to explicitly add Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_VERSION_TAG |
| 2344 | to their tp_flags field if they care. This is a backwards |
| 2345 | compatibility feature; in 3.0, all types will use the cache by |
| 2346 | default. |
| 2347 | |
Benjamin Peterson | f647dc1 | 2008-08-20 01:27:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2348 | - Keyword arguments can now follow starred arguments. (``f(a, *args, |
| 2349 | keyword=23)`` is now valid syntax.) |
| 2350 | |
Thomas Heller | 0ad5ae0 | 2008-08-19 19:25:04 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2351 | - ctypes function pointers that are COM methods have a boolean True |

| 2355 | by denying s# to parse objects that have a releasebuffer procedure, |
| 2356 | and introducing s*. |
| 2357 | |
Georg Brandl | 1e13ea9 | 2008-08-11 09:07:59 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2358 | - Issue #3537: Fix an assertion failure when an empty but presized dict |
| 2359 | object was stored in the freelist. |
| 2360 | |
Mark Dickinson | b646757 | 2008-08-04 21:30:09 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2361 | - Issue #1481296: Make long(float('nan')) and int(float('nan')) raise |
| 2362 | ValueError consistently across platforms. |
| 2363 | |
Amaury Forgeot d'Arc | 39fd672 | 2008-07-31 21:28:03 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2364 | - Issue #3479: On platforms where sizeof(int) is smaller than sizeof(long) |
| 2365 | (64bit Unix, for example), unichr() would truncate its argument and return |
| 2366 | u'\x00' for unichr(2**32). Now it properly raises an OverflowError. |
| 2367 | |
Neal Norwitz | e7d8be8 | 2008-07-31 17:17:14 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2368 | - Apply security patches from Apple. |

Amaury Forgeot d'Arc | 246daed | 2008-07-31 00:42:16 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2370 | - Issue #2542: Now that issubclass() may call arbitrary code, ensure that |
| 2371 | PyErr_ExceptionMatches returns 0 when an exception occurs there. |
| 2372 | |
Antoine Pitrou | 92f8216 | 2008-07-25 22:22:08 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2373 | - Issue #1819: function calls with several named parameters are now on |
| 2374 | average 35% faster (as measured by pybench). |
| 2375 | |
Amaury Forgeot d'Arc | e4921fe | 2008-07-21 22:00:38 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2376 | - Issue #2378: An unexpected UnboundLocalError or NameError could appear when |
| 2377 | the python debugger steps into a class statement: the free variables (local |
| 2378 | variables defined in an outer scope) would be deleted from the outer scope. |
| 2379 | |
Gregory P. Smith | 0470bab | 2008-07-22 04:46:32 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2380 | - Issue #2620: Overflow checking when allocating or reallocating memory |
| 2381 | was not always being done properly in some python types and extension |
| 2382 | modules. PyMem_MALLOC, PyMem_REALLOC, PyMem_NEW and PyMem_RESIZE have |
| 2383 | all been updated to perform better checks and places in the code that |
| 2384 | would previously leak memory on the error path when such an allocation |
| 2385 | failed have been fixed. |

Amaury Forgeot d'Arc | 351ffb8 | 2008-08-18 19:23:47 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2395 | - Issue #2234: distutils failed for some versions of the cygwin compiler. The |
| 2396 | version reported by these tools does not necessarily follow the python |
| 2397 | version numbering scheme, so the module is less strict when parsing it. |
| 2398 | |
Nick Coghlan | f70385a | 2008-08-18 12:42:46 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2399 | - Issue #2235: Added Py3k warnings for types which will become unhashable |
| 2400 | under the stricter __hash__ inheritance rules in 3.0. Several types |
| 2401 | which did not meet the rules for hash invariants and were already |
| 2402 | unhashable in 3.0 have now been explicitly flagged as unhashable in |
| 2403 | 2.6 as well (collections.Mapping, collections.Set, unittest.TestSuite, |
| 2404 | xml.dom.minidom.NamedNodeMap, numbers.Number, UserList.UserList) |

Nick Coghlan | 6d6bd44 | 2008-07-15 15:40:22 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2548 | - Issue #2235: __hash__ is once again inherited by default. To allow |
| 2549 | collections.Hashable to remain meaningful in the presence of the |

Mark Dickinson | 1ec2fcd | 2008-06-20 14:53:43 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2573 | - Issue #3004: Minor change to slice.indices(): the start and stop |
| 2574 | arguments are now treated identically, making the behaviour easier |
| 2575 | to describe and understand. For example, slice(None, -10, |
| 2576 | 1).indices(9) now returns (0, 0, 1) instead of (0, -1, 1), and |
| 2577 | slice(None, 10, -1).indices(10) returns (9, 9, -1) instead of (9, |
| 2578 | 10, -1). |

| 3095 | original Python code has been kept as backup). This will allow for |
| 3096 | using the 'warning's machinery in such places as the parser where |
| 3097 | use of pure Python code is not possible. Both the ``showarning()`` |
| 3098 | and ``formatwarning()`` gain an optional 'line' argument which is |
| 3099 | not called by default for backwards-compatibility reasons. Setting |
| 3100 | ``warnings.showwarning()`` to an implementation that lacks support |
| 3101 | for the ``line`` argument will raise a DeprecationWarning. |

Georg Brandl | 3ee81df | 2008-05-17 18:14:43 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3164 | - Issue #2550: The approach used by client/server code for obtaining |
| 3165 | ports to listen on in network-oriented tests has been refined in an |
| 3166 | effort to facilitate running multiple instances of the entire |
| 3167 | regression test suite in parallel without issue. |
| 3168 | test_support.bind_port() has been fixed such that it will always |
| 3169 | return a unique port -- which wasn't always the case with the |
| 3170 | previous implementation, especially if socket options had been set |
| 3171 | that affected address reuse (i.e. SO_REUSEADDR, SO_REUSEPORT). The |
| 3172 | new implementation of bind_port() will actually raise an exception |
| 3173 | if it is passed an AF_INET/SOCK_STREAM socket with either the |
| 3174 | SO_REUSEADDR or SO_REUSEPORT socket option set. Furthermore, if |
| 3175 | available, bind_port() will set the SO_EXCLUSIVEADDRUSE option on |
| 3176 | the socket it's been passed. This currently only applies to |
| 3177 | Windows. This option prevents any other sockets from binding to the |
| 3178 | host/port we've bound to, thus removing the possibility of the |
| 3179 | 'non-deterministic' behaviour, as Microsoft puts it, that occurs |
| 3180 | when a second SOCK_STREAM socket binds and accepts to a host/port |
| 3181 | that's already been bound by another socket. The optional preferred |
| 3182 | port parameter to bind_port() has been removed. Under no |
| 3183 | circumstances should tests be hard coding ports! |
| 3184 | |
| 3185 | test_support.find_unused_port() has also been introduced, which will |
| 3186 | pass a temporary socket object to bind_port() in order to obtain an |
| 3187 | unused port. The temporary socket object is then closed and |
| 3188 | deleted, and the port is returned. This method should only be used |
| 3189 | for obtaining an unused port in order to pass to an external program |
| 3190 | (i.e. the -accept [port] argument to openssl's s_server mode) or as |
| 3191 | a parameter to a server-oriented class that doesn't give you direct |
| 3192 | access to the underlying socket used. |
| 3193 | |
| 3194 | Finally, test_support.HOST has been introduced, which should be used |
| 3195 | for the host argument of any relevant socket calls (i.e. bind and |
| 3196 | connect). |

Facundo Batista | fc2d010 | 2008-02-23 12:01:13 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3481 | issue 215555 for a discussion. |
| 3482 | |
Eric Smith | a73fbe7 | 2008-02-23 03:09:44 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3483 | - Added the future_builtins module, which contains hex() and oct(). |
| 3484 | These are the PEP 3127 version of these functions, designed to be |
| 3485 | compatible with the hex() and oct() builtins from Python 3.0. They |
| 3486 | differ slightly in their output formats from the existing, unchanged |
| 3487 | Python 2.6 builtins. The expected usage of the future_builtins |
| 3488 | module is: |
| 3489 | from future_builtins import hex, oct |
| 3490 | |
Eric Smith | 7ef40bf | 2008-02-20 23:34:22 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3491 | - Issue #1600: Modifed PyOS_ascii_formatd to use at most 2 digit |
| 3492 | exponents for exponents with absolute value < 100. Follows C99 |
| 3493 | standard. This is a change on Windows, which would use 3 digits. |
| 3494 | Also, added 'n' to the formats that PyOS_ascii_formatd understands, |
| 3495 | so that any alterations it does to the resulting string will be |
| 3496 | available in stringlib/formatter.h (for float.__format__). |
| 3497 | |
Eric Smith | 5a3c135 | 2008-02-19 13:21:56 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3498 | - Implemented PEP 3101, Advanced String Formatting. This adds a new |
| 3499 | builtin format(); a format() method for str and unicode; a |
| 3500 | __format__() method to object, str, unicode, int, long, float, and |
| 3501 | datetime; the class string.Formatter; and the C API |
| 3502 | PyObject_Format(). |
| 3503 | |
Georg Brandl | 3ee81df | 2008-05-17 18:14:43 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3504 | - Fixed several potential crashes, all caused by specially crafted |
