| 65 | 2**15 for the internal representation of integers, for performance |
| 66 | reasons. Base 2**30 is enabled by default on 64-bit machines. Add |
| 67 | --enable-big-digits option to configure, which overrides the |
| 68 | default. Add sys.long_info structseq to provide information about |
| 69 | the internal format. |
| 70 | |

| 116 | to str, bytes and bytearray could be optimized away by the compiler, letting |
| 117 | the interpreter segfault instead of raising an error. |
| 118 | |
Amaury Forgeot d'Arc | a40d573 | 2009-01-12 23:36:55 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 119 | - Issue #3720: Fix a crash when an iterator modifies its class and removes its |

| 135 | an existing .py counterpart, override the co_filename attributes of all |
| 136 | code objects if the original filename is obsolete (which can happen if the |

| 195 | kept open but the file object behaves like a closed file. The ``FileIO`` |
| 196 | object also got a new readonly attribute ``closefd``. |
| 197 | |
Benjamin Peterson | 46cc6d1 | 2008-11-19 21:49:09 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 198 | - Issue #4348: Some bytearray methods returned that didn't cause any change to |

Hirokazu Yamamoto | 10a018c | 2008-10-09 10:00:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 219 | - On windows, os.chdir given unicode was not working if GetCurrentDirectoryW |
| 220 | returned a path longer than MAX_PATH. (But It's doubtful this code path is |
| 221 | really executed because I cannot move to such directory on win2k) |
| 222 | |
Amaury Forgeot d'Arc | d78b9dc | 2008-10-07 20:32:10 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 223 | - Issue #4069: When set.remove(element) is used with a set element, the element |
| 224 | is temporarily replaced with an equivalent frozenset. But the eventual |

Amaury Forgeot d'Arc | 05e3449 | 2008-09-10 22:04:45 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 975 | - Issue #3743: In a few places, PY_FORMAT_SIZE_T was incorrectly used with |
| 976 | PyString_FromFormat or PyErr_Format to display size_t values. The macro |
| 977 | PY_FORMAT_SIZE_T is designed to select the correct format for the OS |

| 1149 | Core and Builtins |
| 1150 | ----------------- |
| 1151 | |
Guido van Rossum | f840296 | 2008-08-20 15:01:50 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1152 | - Issue #1878: Remove Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_VERSION_TAG from |
| 1153 | Py_TPFLAGS_DEFAULT when not building the core. This means 3rd party |
| 1154 | extensions do not automatically benefit from the class attribute |
| 1155 | cache; they will have to explicitly add Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_VERSION_TAG |
| 1156 | to their tp_flags field if they care. This is a backwards |
| 1157 | compatibility feature; in 3.0, all types will use the cache by |
| 1158 | default. |
| 1159 | |
Benjamin Peterson | f647dc1 | 2008-08-20 01:27:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1160 | - Keyword arguments can now follow starred arguments. (``f(a, *args, |
| 1161 | keyword=23)`` is now valid syntax.) |
| 1162 | |
Thomas Heller | 0ad5ae0 | 2008-08-19 19:25:04 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1163 | - ctypes function pointers that are COM methods have a boolean True |
| 1164 | value again. |
| 1165 | |
Martin v. Löwis | f91d46a | 2008-08-12 14:49:50 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1166 | - Issue #3139: Make buffer-interface thread-safe wrt. PyArg_ParseTuple, |
| 1167 | by denying s# to parse objects that have a releasebuffer procedure, |
| 1168 | and introducing s*. |
| 1169 | |
Georg Brandl | 1e13ea9 | 2008-08-11 09:07:59 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1170 | - Issue #3537: Fix an assertion failure when an empty but presized dict |
| 1171 | object was stored in the freelist. |
| 1172 | |
Mark Dickinson | b646757 | 2008-08-04 21:30:09 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1173 | - Issue #1481296: Make long(float('nan')) and int(float('nan')) raise |
| 1174 | ValueError consistently across platforms. |
| 1175 | |
Amaury Forgeot d'Arc | 39fd672 | 2008-07-31 21:28:03 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1176 | - Issue #3479: On platforms where sizeof(int) is smaller than sizeof(long) |
| 1177 | (64bit Unix, for example), unichr() would truncate its argument and return |
| 1178 | u'\x00' for unichr(2**32). Now it properly raises an OverflowError. |
| 1179 | |
Neal Norwitz | e7d8be8 | 2008-07-31 17:17:14 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1180 | - Apply security patches from Apple. |
| 1181 | |
Amaury Forgeot d'Arc | 246daed | 2008-07-31 00:42:16 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1182 | - Issue #2542: Now that issubclass() may call arbitrary code, ensure that |
| 1183 | PyErr_ExceptionMatches returns 0 when an exception occurs there. |
| 1184 | |
Antoine Pitrou | 92f8216 | 2008-07-25 22:22:08 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1185 | - Issue #1819: function calls with several named parameters are now on |
| 1186 | average 35% faster (as measured by pybench). |
| 1187 | |
Amaury Forgeot d'Arc | e4921fe | 2008-07-21 22:00:38 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1188 | - Issue #2378: An unexpected UnboundLocalError or NameError could appear when |
| 1189 | the python debugger steps into a class statement: the free variables (local |
| 1190 | variables defined in an outer scope) would be deleted from the outer scope. |
| 1191 | |
Gregory P. Smith | 0470bab | 2008-07-22 04:46:32 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1192 | - Issue #2620: Overflow checking when allocating or reallocating memory |
| 1193 | was not always being done properly in some python types and extension |
| 1194 | modules. PyMem_MALLOC, PyMem_REALLOC, PyMem_NEW and PyMem_RESIZE have |
| 1195 | all been updated to perform better checks and places in the code that |
| 1196 | would previously leak memory on the error path when such an allocation |
| 1197 | failed have been fixed. |
| 1198 | |

| 1203 | |
Benjamin Peterson | e977ad4 | 2008-08-20 01:42:01 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1204 | - The methods ``is_in_tuple()``, ``is_vararg()``, and ``is_keywordarg()`` of |
| 1205 | symtable.Symbol have been deprecated for removal in 3.0 and the next release. |
| 1206 | |
Amaury Forgeot d'Arc | 351ffb8 | 2008-08-18 19:23:47 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1207 | - Issue #2234: distutils failed for some versions of the cygwin compiler. The |
| 1208 | version reported by these tools does not necessarily follow the python |
| 1209 | version numbering scheme, so the module is less strict when parsing it. |
| 1210 | |
Nick Coghlan | f70385a | 2008-08-18 12:42:46 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1211 | - Issue #2235: Added Py3k warnings for types which will become unhashable |
| 1212 | under the stricter __hash__ inheritance rules in 3.0. Several types |
| 1213 | which did not meet the rules for hash invariants and were already |
| 1214 | unhashable in 3.0 have now been explicitly flagged as unhashable in |
| 1215 | 2.6 as well (collections.Mapping, collections.Set, unittest.TestSuite, |
| 1216 | xml.dom.minidom.NamedNodeMap, numbers.Number, UserList.UserList) |
| 1217 | |
Brett Cannon | 88f801d | 2008-08-18 00:46:22 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1218 | - Update __all__ for cookielib, csv, os, urllib2, and weakref to include things |
| 1219 | imported into the module but exposed as part of the module's API. |
| 1220 | |

| 1228 | by using 's*' instead of 't#'. |
| 1229 | |
Mark Dickinson | 3e4caeb | 2009-02-21 20:27:01 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1230 | - Issue #2222: Fixed reference leak when occurred os.rename() |
Hirokazu Yamamoto | 7f30a68 | 2008-08-17 09:46:56 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1231 | fails unicode conversion on 2nd parameter. (windows only) |
| 1232 | |
Facundo Batista | 94f243a | 2008-08-17 03:38:39 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1233 | - Issue 2464. urllib2 now supports a malformation in the URL received |
| 1234 | in a redirect. |
| 1235 | |
Brett Cannon | abe423e | 2008-08-16 21:47:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1236 | - Silence the DeprecationWarning raised when importing mimetools in |
Brett Cannon | 721b145 | 2008-08-16 22:00:27 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1237 | BaseHTTPServer, cgi (and rfc822), httplib. |
Brett Cannon | abe423e | 2008-08-16 21:47:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1238 | |
Facundo Batista | eb90b78 | 2008-08-16 14:44:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1239 | - Issue #2776: fixed small issue when handling an URL with double slash |

| 1241 | |
Antoine Pitrou | b90a8be | 2008-08-15 21:03:21 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1242 | - Issue #2676: in the email package, content-type parsing was hanging on |
| 1243 | pathological input because of quadratic or exponential behaviour of a |
| 1244 | regular expression. |
| 1245 | |
Antoine Pitrou | 11ec65d | 2008-08-14 21:04:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1246 | - Issue #3476: binary buffered reading through the new "io" library is now |
| 1247 | thread-safe. |
| 1248 | |
Brett Cannon | bf3157b | 2008-08-14 05:00:03 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1249 | - Silence the DeprecationWarning of rfc822 when it is imported by mimetools |
| 1250 | since mimetools itself is deprecated. Because modules are cached, all |
| 1251 | subsequent imports of rfc822 will not raise a visible DeprecationWarning. |
| 1252 | |
Antoine Pitrou | 9fcd4b3 | 2008-08-11 17:21:36 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1253 | - Issue #3134: shutil referenced undefined WindowsError symbol. |

| 1259 | version that did not raise a DeprecationWarning under -3. |
| 1260 | |
Antoine Pitrou | 76b8bee | 2008-08-09 17:27:23 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1261 | - Issue #3205: When iterating over a BZ2File fails allocating memory, raise |
| 1262 | a MemoryError rather than silently stop the iteration. |
| 1263 | |
Guido van Rossum | 59ce901 | 2008-08-09 14:55:34 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1264 | - Issue #3487: sre "bytecode" validator. Passing invalid "re-bytecode" |
| 1265 | to _sre.compile() will now be rejected. This should not affect anybody |
| 1266 | since the re.compile() function never generates invalid re-bytecode. |
| 1267 | |
Skip Montanaro | a032bf4 | 2008-08-08 22:52:51 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1268 | - Issue #3436: Make csv.DictReader's fieldnames attribute a property so that |
| 1269 | upon first access it can be automatically initialized from the csv file if |
| 1270 | it wasn't initialized during instantiation. |
| 1271 | |

Antoine Pitrou | de781a4 | 2008-08-09 12:43:23 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1287 | asking for a specific length. This problem only affected files opened |
| 1288 | using the new "io" module, not the built-in open() function. |
Benjamin Peterson | 01a2432 | 2008-07-28 23:35:27 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1289 | |

| 1316 | |
Gregory P. Smith | a36f8fe | 2008-08-04 00:13:29 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1317 | - Issue #1857: subprocess.Popen.poll gained an additional _deadstate keyword |
| 1318 | argument in python 2.5, this broke code that subclassed Popen to include its |
| 1319 | own poll method. Fixed my moving _deadstate to an _internal_poll method. |

Nick Coghlan | 2a0c2b1 | 2008-08-04 12:47:17 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1332 | - Issue #643841: The language reference now provides more detailed |
| 1333 | coverage of the lookup process for special methods. The disclaimers |
| 1334 | regarding lack of coverage of new-style classes have also been |
| 1335 | removed, since the coverage is now fairly reasonable. |

| 1344 | ----------------- |
| 1345 | |
Georg Brandl | 3e483f6 | 2008-07-16 22:57:41 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1346 | - Issue #3156: Fix inconsistent behavior of the bytearray type: all |
| 1347 | its methods now allow for items objects that can be converted to |
| 1348 | an integer using operator.index(). |
| 1349 | |
Mark Dickinson | 64b7e50 | 2008-07-16 09:40:03 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1350 | - Issue #3360: Fix incorrect parsing of '020000000000.0', which |
| 1351 | produced a ValueError instead of giving the correct float. |
| 1352 | |
Eric Smith | a5fa5a2 | 2008-07-16 00:11:49 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1353 | - Issue #3083: Add alternate (#) formatting for bin, oct, hex output |
| 1354 | for str.format(). This adds the prefix 0b, 0o, or 0x, respectively. |
| 1355 | |
Mark Dickinson | 7103aa4 | 2008-07-15 19:08:33 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1356 | - Issue #3008: the float type has a new instance method 'float.hex' |
| 1357 | and a new class method 'float.fromhex' to convert floating-point |
| 1358 | numbers to and from hexadecimal strings, respectively. |
| 1359 | |
Nick Coghlan | 6d6bd44 | 2008-07-15 15:40:22 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1360 | - Issue #2235: __hash__ is once again inherited by default. To allow |
| 1361 | collections.Hashable to remain meaningful in the presence of the |
| 1362 | default hash implementation (object.__hash__), it is now possible |
| 1363 | to explicit block inheritance of hash by setting __hash__=None at |
| 1364 | the Python level, or tp_hash=PyObject_HashNotImplemented at the C |
| 1365 | level. |
| 1366 | |
Nick Coghlan | b028f50 | 2008-07-13 14:52:36 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1367 | - Issue #3221: Issue a RuntimeWarning instead of raising SystemError if |
| 1368 | the parent module cannot be found while performing an absolute import. |
| 1369 | This means that an incorrectly defined __package__ attribute will |
| 1370 | now only prevent relative imports in that module rather than causing |
| 1371 | all imports from that module to fail. |
| 1372 | |
Nick Coghlan | 14ff994 | 2008-07-08 14:21:42 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1373 | - Issue #2517: Allow unicode messages in Exceptions again by correctly |
| 1374 | bypassing the instance dictionary when looking up __unicode__ on |
| 1375 | new-style classes. |
| 1376 | |
Amaury Forgeot d'Arc | bdd941f | 2008-07-01 20:38:04 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1377 | - Issue #3242: Fix a crash inside the print statement, if sys.stdout is |
| 1378 | set to a custom object whose write() method happens to install |
| 1379 | another file in sys.stdout. |
| 1380 | |
Amaury Forgeot d'Arc | 1f40c8a | 2008-06-30 22:42:40 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1381 | - Issue #3088: Corrected a race condition in classes derived from |
| 1382 | threading.local: the first member set by a thread could be saved in |
| 1383 | another thread's dictionary. |
| 1384 | |
Mark Dickinson | 1ec2fcd | 2008-06-20 14:53:43 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1385 | - Issue #3004: Minor change to slice.indices(): the start and stop |
| 1386 | arguments are now treated identically, making the behaviour easier |

Georg Brandl | 3ee81df | 2008-05-17 18:14:43 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1976 | - Issue #2550: The approach used by client/server code for obtaining |
| 1977 | ports to listen on in network-oriented tests has been refined in an |
| 1978 | effort to facilitate running multiple instances of the entire |
| 1979 | regression test suite in parallel without issue. |
| 1980 | test_support.bind_port() has been fixed such that it will always |
| 1981 | return a unique port -- which wasn't always the case with the |
| 1982 | previous implementation, especially if socket options had been set |
| 1983 | that affected address reuse (i.e. SO_REUSEADDR, SO_REUSEPORT). The |
| 1984 | new implementation of bind_port() will actually raise an exception |
| 1985 | if it is passed an AF_INET/SOCK_STREAM socket with either the |
| 1986 | SO_REUSEADDR or SO_REUSEPORT socket option set. Furthermore, if |
| 1987 | available, bind_port() will set the SO_EXCLUSIVEADDRUSE option on |
| 1988 | the socket it's been passed. This currently only applies to |
| 1989 | Windows. This option prevents any other sockets from binding to the |
| 1990 | host/port we've bound to, thus removing the possibility of the |
| 1991 | 'non-deterministic' behaviour, as Microsoft puts it, that occurs |
| 1992 | when a second SOCK_STREAM socket binds and accepts to a host/port |
| 1993 | that's already been bound by another socket. The optional preferred |
| 1994 | port parameter to bind_port() has been removed. Under no |
| 1995 | circumstances should tests be hard coding ports! |
| 1996 | |
| 1997 | test_support.find_unused_port() has also been introduced, which will |
| 1998 | pass a temporary socket object to bind_port() in order to obtain an |
| 1999 | unused port. The temporary socket object is then closed and |
| 2000 | deleted, and the port is returned. This method should only be used |
| 2001 | for obtaining an unused port in order to pass to an external program |
| 2002 | (i.e. the -accept [port] argument to openssl's s_server mode) or as |
| 2003 | a parameter to a server-oriented class that doesn't give you direct |
| 2004 | access to the underlying socket used. |
| 2005 | |
| 2006 | Finally, test_support.HOST has been introduced, which should be used |
| 2007 | for the host argument of any relevant socket calls (i.e. bind and |
| 2008 | connect). |

Christian Heimes | 5224d28 | 2008-02-23 15:01:05 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2291 | |
Vinay Sajip | b7edfc4 | 2008-04-02 21:10:23 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2292 | - Issue #1881: An internal parser limit has been increased. Also see |
Facundo Batista | fc2d010 | 2008-02-23 12:01:13 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2293 | issue 215555 for a discussion. |
| 2294 | |
Eric Smith | a73fbe7 | 2008-02-23 03:09:44 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2295 | - Added the future_builtins module, which contains hex() and oct(). |
| 2296 | These are the PEP 3127 version of these functions, designed to be |
| 2297 | compatible with the hex() and oct() builtins from Python 3.0. They |
| 2298 | differ slightly in their output formats from the existing, unchanged |
| 2299 | Python 2.6 builtins. The expected usage of the future_builtins |
| 2300 | module is: |
| 2301 | from future_builtins import hex, oct |
| 2302 | |
Eric Smith | 7ef40bf | 2008-02-20 23:34:22 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2303 | - Issue #1600: Modifed PyOS_ascii_formatd to use at most 2 digit |
| 2304 | exponents for exponents with absolute value < 100. Follows C99 |
| 2305 | standard. This is a change on Windows, which would use 3 digits. |
| 2306 | Also, added 'n' to the formats that PyOS_ascii_formatd understands, |
| 2307 | so that any alterations it does to the resulting string will be |
| 2308 | available in stringlib/formatter.h (for float.__format__). |
| 2309 | |
Eric Smith | 5a3c135 | 2008-02-19 13:21:56 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2310 | - Implemented PEP 3101, Advanced String Formatting. This adds a new |
| 2311 | builtin format(); a format() method for str and unicode; a |
| 2312 | __format__() method to object, str, unicode, int, long, float, and |
| 2313 | datetime; the class string.Formatter; and the C API |
| 2314 | PyObject_Format(). |
| 2315 | |
Georg Brandl | 3ee81df | 2008-05-17 18:14:43 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2316 | - Fixed several potential crashes, all caused by specially crafted |
| 2317 | __del__ methods exploiting objects in temporarily inconsistent |
| 2318 | state. |
Amaury Forgeot d'Arc | 632fad3 | 2008-02-16 20:55:24 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2319 | |

| 2328 | in order to allow pymalloc to free more arenas. Python may give back |
| 2329 | memory to the OS earlier. |

Amaury Forgeot d'Arc | b01aa43 | 2008-02-08 00:56:02 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2334 | |
Christian Heimes | f75dbef | 2008-02-08 00:11:31 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2335 | - Fixed a minor memory leak in dictobject.c. The content of the free |
| 2336 | list was not freed on interpreter shutdown. |

Georg Brandl | 3ee81df | 2008-05-17 18:14:43 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2345 | - Issue #1983: Fixed return type of fork(), fork1() and forkpty() |
| 2346 | calls. Python expected the return type int but the fork familie |
| 2347 | returns pi_t. |

Georg Brandl | 3ee81df | 2008-05-17 18:14:43 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2361 | - Patch #1473257: generator objects gain a gi_code attribute. This is |
| 2362 | the same object as the func_code attribute of the function that |
| 2363 | produced the generator. |
Georg Brandl | 0cdf9a3 | 2008-01-26 14:14:20 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2364 | |
Georg Brandl | 3ee81df | 2008-05-17 18:14:43 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2365 | - Issue #1920: "while 0" statements were completely removed by the |
| 2366 | compiler, even in the presence of an "else" clause, which is |
| 2367 | supposed to be run when the condition is false. Now the compiler |
| 2368 | correctly emits bytecode for the "else" suite. |
Amaury Forgeot d'Arc | 31eaafe | 2008-01-24 22:59:25 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2369 | |
Guido van Rossum | eead05f | 2008-01-24 18:21:02 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2370 | - A few crashers fixed: weakref_in_del.py (issue #1377858); |
| 2371 | loosing_dict_ref.py (issue #1303614, test67.py); |

Vinay Sajip | d7cf32e | 2008-01-24 12:43:33 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2374 | - Issue #1069410: The "can't load dll" message box on Windows is |
Christian Heimes | b2302ba | 2008-01-23 17:15:06 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2375 | suppressed while an extension is loaded by calling SetErrorMode in |

Georg Brandl | 3ee81df | 2008-05-17 18:14:43 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3975 | - Unified naming convention for free lists and their limits. All free |
| 3976 | lists in Object/ are named ``free_list``, the counter ``numfree`` |
| 3977 | and the upper limit is a macro ``PyName_MAXFREELIST`` inside an |

| 3981 | to ``PyTuple_SetItem``, it can be used to populate a brand new |
| 3982 | frozenset; but it does not steal a reference to the added item. |

| 3996 | of w# format code incorrectly truncated the length to an int, even |
| 3997 | when PY_SSIZE_T_CLEAN is set. The str.decode method used to return |
| 3998 | incorrect results with huge strings. |

| 4019 | (relevant to strings and sequences of more than 2**31 items). |
| 4020 | |
| 4021 | - Make _PyGILState_NoteThreadState() static, it was not used anywhere |
| 4022 | outside of pystate.c and should not be necessary. |
| 4023 | |
Georg Brandl | 3ee81df | 2008-05-17 18:14:43 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 4024 | - ``PyImport_Import`` and ``PyImport_ImportModule`` now always do |
