+- Issue #7633: In the decimal module, Context class methods (with the
+  exception of canonical and is_canonical) now accept instances of int
+  and long wherever a Decimal instance is accepted, and implicitly
+  convert that argument to Decimal.  Previously only some arguments
+  were converted.

 - Issue #7835: shelve should no longer produce mysterious warnings during
