-Why 1.5b3?
-----------
-The reason for distributing a third beta release for the Mac (unlike for
-other platforms) is that there are still some problems. The main problem
-is that packages ("dotted import") seem to have problems when used
-under cfm68k. Other outstanding problems are tkinter problems with menus
-(all platforms) and NumPy printing problems (cfm68k). Please report your
-findings with this distribution to pythonmac-sig@python.org, so we can
-try to iron out the problems and have a normal 1.5 distribution in a few
-weeks time.

-The non-system-dependent part of this distribution is identical to 1.5 final.
+Caveats
+-------
+There are still problems with cfm68k Python. 68K Mac users should
+probably try to use the cfm68k distribution first, and revert to the
+classic 68k distribution in case the bugs make their Python
+unworkable. The main problem is that packages ("dotted import") and
+NumPy printing don't work.
