+================================
+==> Release 1.1 (6 Oct 1994) <==
+================================
+
+This release adds several new features, improved configuration and
+portability, and more fixed bugs than I can list here (including some
+memory leaks).
+
+The source compiles and runs out of the box on more platforms than
+ever -- including Windows NT. Makefiles or projects for a variety of
+non-UNIX platforms are provided.
+
+Apology: many new features are badly documented or not at all. I had
+the choice -- postpone the new release indefinitely, or release it
+now, with working code but some undocumented areas...
+
+
+New language features:
+
+ - More flexible operator overloading for user-defined classes
+ (INCOMPATIBLE WITH PREVIOUS VERSIONS!) See end of tutorial.
+
+ - Classes can define methods named __getattr__, __setattr__ and
+ __delattr__ to trap attribute accesses. See end of tutorial.
+
+ - Classes can define method __call__ so instances can be called
+ directly. See end of tutorial.
+
+
+New support facilities:
+
+ - The Makefiles (for the base interpreter as well as for extensions)
+ now support creating dynamically loadable modules if the platform
+ supports shared libraries.
+
+ - Passing the interpreter a .pyc file as script argument will execute
+ the code in that file. (On the Mac such files can be double-clicked!)
+
+ - New Freeze script, to create independently distributable "binaries"
+ of Python programs -- look in Demo/freeze
+
+ - Improved h2py script (in Demo/scripts) follows #includes and
+ supports macros with one argument
+
+ - New module compileall generates .pyc files for all modules in a
+ directory (tree) without also executing them
+
+ - Threads should work on more platforms
+
+
+New built-in modules:
+
+ - tkinter (support for Tcl's Tk widget set) is now part of the base
+ distribution
+
+ - signal allows catching or ignoring UNIX signals (unfortunately still
+ undocumented -- any taker?)
+
+ - termios provides portable access to POSIX tty settings
+
+ - curses provides an interface to the System V curses library
+
+ - syslog provides an interface to the (BSD?) syslog daemon
+
+ - 'new' provides interfaces to create new built-in object types
+ (e.g. modules and functions)
+
+ - sybase provides an interface to SYBASE database
+
+
+New/obsolete built-in methods:
+
+ - callable(x) tests whether x can be called
+
+ - sockets now have a setblocking() method
+
+ - sockets no longer have an allowbroadcast() method
+
+ - socket methods send() and sendto() return byte count
+
+
+New standard library modules:
+
+ - types.py defines standard names for built-in types, e.g. StringType
+
+ - urlparse.py parses URLs according to the latest Internet draft
+
+ - uu.py does uuencode/uudecode (not the fastest in the world, but
+ quicker than installing uuencode on a non-UNIX machine :-)
+
+ - New, faster and more powerful profile module.py
+
+ - mhlib.py provides interface to MH folders and messages
+
+
+New facilities for extension writers (unfortunately still
+undocumented):
+
+ - newgetargs() supports optional arguments and improved error messages
+
+ - O!, O& O? formats for getargs allow more versatile type checking of
+ non-standard types
+
+ - can register pending asynchronous callback, to be called the next
+ time the Python VM begins a new instruction (Py_AddPendingCall)
+
+ - can register cleanup routines to be called when Python exits
+ (Py_AtExit)
+
+ - makesetup script understands C++ files in Setup file (use file.C
+ or file.cc)
+
+ - Make variable OPT is passed on to sub-Makefiles
+
+ - An init<module>() routine may signal an error by not entering
+ the module in the module table and raising an exception instead
+
+ - For long module names, instead of foobarbletchmodule.c you can
+ use foobarbletch.c
+
+ - getintvalue() and getfloatvalue() try to convert any object
+ instead of requiring an "intobject" or "floatobject"
+
+ - All the [new]getargs() formats that retrieve an integer value
+ will now also work if a float is passed
+
+ - C function listtuple() converts list to tuple, fast
+
+ - You should now call sigcheck() instead of intrcheck();
+ sigcheck() also sets an exception when it returns nonzero
+
