Core and Builtins
-----------------
+- Issue #6089: Fixed str.format with certain invalid field specifiers
+ that would raise SystemError.
+
- Issue #5829: complex("1e500") no longer raises OverflowError. This
makes it consistent with float("1e500") and interpretation of real
and imaginary literals.
