Antoine Pitrou | e450185 | 2009-05-14 18:55:55 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 456 | - Issue #5006: Better handling of unicode byte-order marks (BOM) in the io |
| 457 | library. This means, for example, that opening an UTF-16 text file in |
| 458 | append mode doesn't add a BOM at the end of the file if the file isn't |
| 459 | empty. |

| 509 | Core and Builtins |
| 510 | ----------------- |
| 511 | |
Mark Dickinson | 865e01a | 2009-05-07 16:37:01 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 512 | - Issue #5914: Add new C API function PyOS_string_to_double, and |
| 513 | deprecate PyOS_ascii_strtod and PyOS_ascii_atof. |
| 514 | |
Eric Smith | 741191f | 2009-05-06 13:08:15 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 515 | - Issue #3382: float.__format__, complex.__format__, and %-formatting |
| 516 | no longer map 'F' to 'f'. Because of issue #5859 (below), this only |
| 517 | affects nan -> NAN and inf -> INF. |
| 518 | |
Mark Hammond | 5a607a3 | 2009-05-06 08:04:54 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 519 | - Issue #5799: ntpath (ie, os.path on Windows) fully supports UNC pathnames |
| 520 | in all operations, including splitdrive, split, etc. splitunc() now issues |
| 521 | a PendingDeprecation warning. |
| 522 | |
Eric Smith | 6337622 | 2009-05-05 14:04:18 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 523 | - Issue #5920: For float.__format__, change the behavior with the |
| 524 | empty presentation type (that is, not one of 'e', 'f', 'g', or 'n') |
| 525 | to be like 'g' but with at least one decimal point and with a |
| 526 | default precision of 12. Previously, the behavior the same but with |
| 527 | a default precision of 6. This more closely matches str(), and |
| 528 | reduces surprises when adding alignment flags to the empty |
| 529 | presentation type. This also affects the new complex.__format__ in |
| 530 | the same way. |
| 531 | |
Martin v. Löwis | 011e842 | 2009-05-05 04:43:17 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 532 | - Implement PEP 383, Non-decodable Bytes in System Character Interfaces. |
| 533 | |
R. David Murray | b18500d | 2009-05-04 22:59:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 534 | - Issue #5890: in subclasses of 'property' the __doc__ attribute was |
| 535 | shadowed by classtype's, even if it was None. property now |
| 536 | inserts the __doc__ into the subclass instance __dict__. |
| 537 | |
Antoine Pitrou | 244651a | 2009-05-04 18:56:13 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 538 | - Issue #4426: The UTF-7 decoder was too strict and didn't accept some legal |
| 539 | sequences. Patch by Nick Barnes and Victor Stinner. |
| 540 | |
Martin v. Löwis | e0a2b72 | 2009-05-10 08:08:56 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 541 | - Issue #3672: Reject surrogates in utf-8 codec; add surrogatepass error handler. |
Martin v. Löwis | db12d45 | 2009-05-02 18:52:14 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 542 | |
Benjamin Peterson | d2e0c79 | 2009-05-01 20:40:59 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 543 | - Issue #5883: In the io module, the BufferedIOBase and TextIOBase ABCs have |
| 544 | received a new method, detach(). detach() disconnects the underlying stream |
| 545 | from the buffer or text IO and returns it. |
| 546 | |
Mark Dickinson | 33841c3 | 2009-05-01 15:37:04 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 547 | - Issue #5859: Remove switch from '%f' to '%g'-style formatting for |
| 548 | floats with absolute value over 1e50. Also remove length |
| 549 | restrictions for float formatting: '%.67f' % 12.34 and '%.120e' % |
| 550 | 12.34 no longer raise an exception. |
Mark Dickinson | f489caf | 2009-05-01 11:42:00 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 551 | |
Eric Smith | 741191f | 2009-05-06 13:08:15 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 552 | - Issue #1588: Add complex.__format__. For example, |
Eric Smith | 58a4224 | 2009-04-30 01:00:33 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 553 | format(complex(1, 2./3), '.5') now produces a sensible result. |
| 554 | |
Mark Dickinson | d3ca557 | 2009-04-29 18:47:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 555 | - Issue #5864: Fix empty format code formatting for floats so that it |
| 556 | never gives more than the requested number of significant digits. |
| 557 | |
Eric Smith | 6dc46f5 | 2009-04-27 20:39:49 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 558 | - Issue #5793: Rationalize isdigit / isalpha / tolower, etc. Includes |
| 559 | new Py_ISDIGIT / Py_ISALPHA / Py_TOLOWER, etc. in pctypes.h. |
| 560 | |
Eric Smith | cc32a11 | 2009-04-26 21:35:14 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 561 | - Issue #5835: Deprecate PyOS_ascii_formatd. |
| 562 | |
Martin v. Löwis | 71efeb7 | 2009-04-26 01:02:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 563 | - Issue #4971: Fix titlecase for characters that are their own |
| 564 | titlecase, but not their own uppercase. |
| 565 | |
Benjamin Peterson | 193152c | 2009-04-25 01:08:45 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 566 | - Issue #5283: Setting __class__ in __del__ caused a segfault. |
| 567 | |
Mark Dickinson | ad476da | 2009-04-23 19:14:16 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 568 | - Issue #5816: complex(repr(z)) now recovers z exactly, even when |
| 569 | z involves nans, infs or negative zeros. |
| 570 | |
Mark Dickinson | 4a16e3a | 2009-04-23 19:15:48 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 571 | - Issue #3166: Make int -> float conversions correctly rounded. |
Mark Dickinson | c630039 | 2009-04-20 21:38:00 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 572 | |
Mark Dickinson | e6a076d | 2009-04-18 11:48:33 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 573 | - Issue #1869 (and many duplicates): make round(x, n) correctly |
| 574 | rounded for a float x, by using the decimal <-> binary conversions |
| 575 | from Python/dtoa.c. As a consequence, (e.g.) round(x, 2) now |
| 576 | consistently agrees with format(x, '.2f'). |
| 577 | |
Benjamin Peterson | ae937c0 | 2009-04-18 20:54:08 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 578 | - Issue #5787: object.__getattribute__(some_type, "__bases__") segfaulted on |
| 579 | some builtin types. |
| 580 | |
Eric Smith | 0923d1d | 2009-04-16 20:16:10 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 581 | - Issue #5772: format(1e100, '<') produces '1e+100', not '1.0e+100'. |
| 582 | |
Eric Smith | 35e8472 | 2009-04-16 20:21:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 583 | - Issue #5515: str.format() type 'n' combined with commas and leading |
| 584 | zeros no longer gives odd results with ints and floats. |
Eric Smith | 0923d1d | 2009-04-16 20:16:10 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 585 | |
| 586 | - Implement PEP 378, Format Specifier for Thousands Separator, for |
| 587 | floats. |
| 588 | |
Mark Dickinson | 3370cce | 2009-04-17 22:40:53 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 589 | - The str function switches to exponential notation at |
Mark Dickinson | b08a53a | 2009-04-16 19:52:09 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 590 | 1e11, not 1e12. This avoids printing 13 significant digits in |
| 591 | situations where only 12 of them are correct. Example problem |
| 592 | value: str(1e11 + 0.5). (This minor issue has existed in 2.x for a |
| 593 | long time.) |
| 594 | |
Mark Dickinson | b08a53a | 2009-04-16 19:52:09 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 595 | - Issue #1580: On most platforms, use a 'short' float repr: for a |
| 596 | finite float x, repr(x) now outputs a string based on the shortest |
| 597 | sequence of decimal digits that rounds to x. Previous behaviour was |
| 598 | to output 17 significant digits and then strip trailing zeros. |
Mark Dickinson | 3370cce | 2009-04-17 22:40:53 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 599 | Another minor difference is that the new repr switches to |
| 600 | exponential notation at 1e16 instead of the previous 1e17; this |
| 601 | avoids misleading output in some cases. |
Mark Dickinson | b08a53a | 2009-04-16 19:52:09 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 602 | |
| 603 | There's a new sys attribute sys.float_repr_style, which takes |
| 604 | the value 'short' to indicate that we're using short float repr, |
| 605 | and 'legacy' if the short float repr isn't available for one |
| 606 | reason or another. |
| 607 | |
| 608 | The float repr change involves incorporating David Gay's 'perfect |
| 609 | rounding' code into the Python core (it's in Python/dtoa.c). As a |
| 610 | secondary consequence, all string-to-float and float-to-string |
| 611 | conversions (including all float formatting operations) will be |
| 612 | correctly rounded on these platforms. |
| 613 | |
| 614 | See issue 1580 discussions for details of platforms for which |
| 615 | this change does not apply. |

| 618 | |
Georg Brandl | abc3877 | 2009-04-12 15:51:51 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 619 | - The string.maketrans() function is deprecated; there is a new static method |
| 620 | maketrans() on the bytes and bytearray classes. This removes confusion about |
| 621 | the types string.maketrans() is supposed to work with, and mirrors the |
| 622 | methods available on the str class. |
| 623 | |
R. David Murray | dc6da8a | 2009-04-09 22:16:43 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 624 | - Issue #2170: refactored xml.dom.minidom.normalize, increasing both |

Walter Dörwald | 8dc33d5 | 2009-05-06 14:41:26 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 630 | - Issue #3739: The unicode-internal encoder now reports the number of characters |
| 631 | consumed like any other encoder (instead of the number of bytes). |
