Mark Dickinson | 865e01a | 2009-05-07 16:37:01 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2134 | - Issue #5914: Add new C API function PyOS_string_to_double, and |
| 2135 | deprecate PyOS_ascii_strtod and PyOS_ascii_atof. |
| 2136 | |
Eric Smith | 741191f | 2009-05-06 13:08:15 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2137 | - Issue #3382: float.__format__, complex.__format__, and %-formatting |
| 2138 | no longer map 'F' to 'f'. Because of issue #5859 (below), this only |
| 2139 | affects nan -> NAN and inf -> INF. |
| 2140 | |
Mark Hammond | 5a607a3 | 2009-05-06 08:04:54 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2141 | - Issue #5799: ntpath (ie, os.path on Windows) fully supports UNC pathnames |
| 2142 | in all operations, including splitdrive, split, etc. splitunc() now issues |
| 2143 | a PendingDeprecation warning. |
| 2144 | |
Eric Smith | 6337622 | 2009-05-05 14:04:18 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2145 | - Issue #5920: For float.__format__, change the behavior with the |
| 2146 | empty presentation type (that is, not one of 'e', 'f', 'g', or 'n') |
| 2147 | to be like 'g' but with at least one decimal point and with a |
| 2148 | default precision of 12. Previously, the behavior the same but with |
| 2149 | a default precision of 6. This more closely matches str(), and |
| 2150 | reduces surprises when adding alignment flags to the empty |
| 2151 | presentation type. This also affects the new complex.__format__ in |
| 2152 | the same way. |

Benjamin Peterson | d2e0c79 | 2009-05-01 20:40:59 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2165 | - Issue #5883: In the io module, the BufferedIOBase and TextIOBase ABCs have |
| 2166 | received a new method, detach(). detach() disconnects the underlying stream |
| 2167 | from the buffer or text IO and returns it. |
| 2168 | |
Mark Dickinson | 33841c3 | 2009-05-01 15:37:04 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2169 | - Issue #5859: Remove switch from '%f' to '%g'-style formatting for |
| 2170 | floats with absolute value over 1e50. Also remove length |
| 2171 | restrictions for float formatting: '%.67f' % 12.34 and '%.120e' % |

Martin v. Löwis | 71efeb7 | 2009-04-26 01:02:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2185 | - Issue #4971: Fix titlecase for characters that are their own |
| 2186 | titlecase, but not their own uppercase. |
| 2187 | |
Benjamin Peterson | 193152c | 2009-04-25 01:08:45 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2188 | - Issue #5283: Setting __class__ in __del__ caused a segfault. |
| 2189 | |
Mark Dickinson | ad476da | 2009-04-23 19:14:16 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2190 | - Issue #5816: complex(repr(z)) now recovers z exactly, even when |
| 2191 | z involves nans, infs or negative zeros. |
| 2192 | |
Mark Dickinson | 4a16e3a | 2009-04-23 19:15:48 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2193 | - Issue #3166: Make int -> float conversions correctly rounded. |

Mark Dickinson | e6a076d | 2009-04-18 11:48:33 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2195 | - Issue #1869 (and many duplicates): make round(x, n) correctly |
| 2196 | rounded for a float x, by using the decimal <-> binary conversions |
| 2197 | from Python/dtoa.c. As a consequence, (e.g.) round(x, 2) now |
| 2198 | consistently agrees with format(x, '.2f'). |
| 2199 | |
Benjamin Peterson | ae937c0 | 2009-04-18 20:54:08 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2200 | - Issue #5787: object.__getattribute__(some_type, "__bases__") segfaulted on |
| 2201 | some builtin types. |
| 2202 | |
Eric Smith | 0923d1d | 2009-04-16 20:16:10 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2203 | - Issue #5772: format(1e100, '<') produces '1e+100', not '1.0e+100'. |
| 2204 | |
Eric Smith | 35e8472 | 2009-04-16 20:21:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2205 | - Issue #5515: str.format() type 'n' combined with commas and leading |
| 2206 | zeros no longer gives odd results with ints and floats. |
Eric Smith | 0923d1d | 2009-04-16 20:16:10 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2207 | |
| 2208 | - Implement PEP 378, Format Specifier for Thousands Separator, for |
| 2209 | floats. |
| 2210 | |
Mark Dickinson | 3370cce | 2009-04-17 22:40:53 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2211 | - The str function switches to exponential notation at |
Mark Dickinson | b08a53a | 2009-04-16 19:52:09 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2212 | 1e11, not 1e12. This avoids printing 13 significant digits in |
| 2213 | situations where only 12 of them are correct. Example problem |
| 2214 | value: str(1e11 + 0.5). (This minor issue has existed in 2.x for a |
| 2215 | long time.) |
| 2216 | |
Mark Dickinson | b08a53a | 2009-04-16 19:52:09 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2217 | - Issue #1580: On most platforms, use a 'short' float repr: for a |
| 2218 | finite float x, repr(x) now outputs a string based on the shortest |
| 2219 | sequence of decimal digits that rounds to x. Previous behaviour was |
| 2220 | to output 17 significant digits and then strip trailing zeros. |
Mark Dickinson | 3370cce | 2009-04-17 22:40:53 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2221 | Another minor difference is that the new repr switches to |
| 2222 | exponential notation at 1e16 instead of the previous 1e17; this |
| 2223 | avoids misleading output in some cases. |
Mark Dickinson | b08a53a | 2009-04-16 19:52:09 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2224 | |
| 2225 | There's a new sys attribute sys.float_repr_style, which takes |
| 2226 | the value 'short' to indicate that we're using short float repr, |
| 2227 | and 'legacy' if the short float repr isn't available for one |
| 2228 | reason or another. |
| 2229 | |
| 2230 | The float repr change involves incorporating David Gay's 'perfect |
| 2231 | rounding' code into the Python core (it's in Python/dtoa.c). As a |
| 2232 | secondary consequence, all string-to-float and float-to-string |
| 2233 | conversions (including all float formatting operations) will be |
| 2234 | correctly rounded on these platforms. |

Benjamin Peterson | 2808d3c | 2009-04-15 21:34:27 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2239 | - Issue #5759: float() didn't call __float__ on str subclasses. |
| 2240 | |
Georg Brandl | abc3877 | 2009-04-12 15:51:51 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2241 | - The string.maketrans() function is deprecated; there is a new static method |
| 2242 | maketrans() on the bytes and bytearray classes. This removes confusion about |
| 2243 | the types string.maketrans() is supposed to work with, and mirrors the |
| 2244 | methods available on the str class. |
