==================================

What's new in this release?
---------------------------
-An exhaustive list of (nearly) everything that changed since the
-release of Python 1.3, over a year ago, can be found in the file
-Misc/NEWS. (A history of all changes before that time is kept in
-Misc/HISTORY.) An overview of the most important user-visible changes
-is appended as a new chapter to the Tutorial (Doc/tut.tex). Perhaps
-the most visible changes are the new power operator, complex numbers,
-new slicing and indexing syntax, and class-private names of the form
-__spam (an experimental feature).
+Ehm, I'll be more complete later. Som highlights: I've completed the
+Grand Renaming. It's much faster (almost twice for pystone.py -- see
+Tools/scripts.) There's an assert statement, and a -O option that
+squeezes SET_LINENO instructions and if __debug__ code. It's much
+smarter (only on Unix, so far) about the initial value for sys.path.
+See the usage message (python -h). There's an explicit structure that
+maintains all per-thread globals.
+
+Unfinished projects: documentation; multiple independent interpreters;
+better embedding support; more Windows support.
