| 239 | files in binary mode, using the email package's binary support to parse |
| 240 | arbitrary email messages. StringIO and text file input is deprecated, |
| 241 | and string input fails early if non-ASCII characters are used, where |

| 301 | |
Armin Ronacher | 5953128 | 2011-01-22 13:44:22 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 302 | - To match the behaviour of HTTP server, the HTTP client library now also |
| 303 | encodes headers with iso-8859-1 (latin1) encoding. It was already doing |
| 304 | that for incoming headers which makes this behaviour now consistent in |

| 1443 | code. If a derived class does not currently implement __format__ but later |
| 1444 | adds its own __format__, it would most likely break user code that had |

| 1446 | Python 3.3 and it will be an error in Python 3.4. |

Amaury Forgeot d'Arc | feb7307 | 2010-09-12 22:42:57 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1452 | - Issue #9210: Configure option --with-wctype-functions was removed. Using the |

Georg Brandl | 27a2858 | 2010-10-10 09:49:21 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1658 | * Update the seed() method to use all of the bits in a string instead of just |
| 1659 | the hash value. This makes better use of the seed value and assures the |
| 1660 | seeding is platform independent. Issue #7889. |

Antoine Pitrou | a32f9a2 | 2010-01-27 21:18:57 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3298 | - Issue #7610: Reworked implementation of the internal |
Georg Brandl | 62069d3 | 2010-07-31 08:56:11 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3299 | :class:`zipfile.ZipExtFile` class used to represent files stored inside an |
| 3300 | archive. The new implementation is significantly faster and can be wrapped in |
| 3301 | a :class:`io.BufferedReader` object for more speedups. It also solves an |
| 3302 | issue where interleaved calls to `read()` and `readline()` give wrong results. |

| 4351 | |
Mark Dickinson | 865e01a | 2009-05-07 16:37:01 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 4352 | - Issue #5914: Add new C API function PyOS_string_to_double, and |
| 4353 | deprecate PyOS_ascii_strtod and PyOS_ascii_atof. |
| 4354 | |
Eric Smith | 741191f | 2009-05-06 13:08:15 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 4355 | - Issue #3382: float.__format__, complex.__format__, and %-formatting |
| 4356 | no longer map 'F' to 'f'. Because of issue #5859 (below), this only |
| 4357 | affects nan -> NAN and inf -> INF. |
| 4358 | |
Mark Hammond | 5a607a3 | 2009-05-06 08:04:54 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 4359 | - Issue #5799: ntpath (ie, os.path on Windows) fully supports UNC pathnames |
| 4360 | in all operations, including splitdrive, split, etc. splitunc() now issues |
| 4361 | a PendingDeprecation warning. |
| 4362 | |
Eric Smith | 6337622 | 2009-05-05 14:04:18 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 4363 | - Issue #5920: For float.__format__, change the behavior with the |
| 4364 | empty presentation type (that is, not one of 'e', 'f', 'g', or 'n') |
| 4365 | to be like 'g' but with at least one decimal point and with a |
| 4366 | default precision of 12. Previously, the behavior the same but with |
| 4367 | a default precision of 6. This more closely matches str(), and |
| 4368 | reduces surprises when adding alignment flags to the empty |
| 4369 | presentation type. This also affects the new complex.__format__ in |
| 4370 | the same way. |

Benjamin Peterson | d2e0c79 | 2009-05-01 20:40:59 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 4383 | - Issue #5883: In the io module, the BufferedIOBase and TextIOBase ABCs have |
| 4384 | received a new method, detach(). detach() disconnects the underlying stream |
| 4385 | from the buffer or text IO and returns it. |
| 4386 | |
Mark Dickinson | 33841c3 | 2009-05-01 15:37:04 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 4387 | - Issue #5859: Remove switch from '%f' to '%g'-style formatting for |

Mark Dickinson | e6a076d | 2009-04-18 11:48:33 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 4413 | - Issue #1869 (and many duplicates): make round(x, n) correctly |
| 4414 | rounded for a float x, by using the decimal <-> binary conversions |
| 4415 | from Python/dtoa.c. As a consequence, (e.g.) round(x, 2) now |
| 4416 | consistently agrees with format(x, '.2f'). |
| 4417 | |
Benjamin Peterson | ae937c0 | 2009-04-18 20:54:08 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 4418 | - Issue #5787: object.__getattribute__(some_type, "__bases__") segfaulted on |
| 4419 | some builtin types. |
| 4420 | |
Eric Smith | 0923d1d | 2009-04-16 20:16:10 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 4421 | - Issue #5772: format(1e100, '<') produces '1e+100', not '1.0e+100'. |
| 4422 | |
Eric Smith | 35e8472 | 2009-04-16 20:21:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 4423 | - Issue #5515: str.format() type 'n' combined with commas and leading |
| 4424 | zeros no longer gives odd results with ints and floats. |
Eric Smith | 0923d1d | 2009-04-16 20:16:10 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 4425 | |
| 4426 | - Implement PEP 378, Format Specifier for Thousands Separator, for |
| 4427 | floats. |
| 4428 | |
Mark Dickinson | 3370cce | 2009-04-17 22:40:53 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 4429 | - The str function switches to exponential notation at |
Mark Dickinson | b08a53a | 2009-04-16 19:52:09 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 4430 | 1e11, not 1e12. This avoids printing 13 significant digits in |
| 4431 | situations where only 12 of them are correct. Example problem |
| 4432 | value: str(1e11 + 0.5). (This minor issue has existed in 2.x for a |
| 4433 | long time.) |
| 4434 | |
Mark Dickinson | b08a53a | 2009-04-16 19:52:09 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 4435 | - Issue #1580: On most platforms, use a 'short' float repr: for a |
| 4436 | finite float x, repr(x) now outputs a string based on the shortest |
| 4437 | sequence of decimal digits that rounds to x. Previous behaviour was |
| 4438 | to output 17 significant digits and then strip trailing zeros. |
Mark Dickinson | 3370cce | 2009-04-17 22:40:53 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 4439 | Another minor difference is that the new repr switches to |
| 4440 | exponential notation at 1e16 instead of the previous 1e17; this |
| 4441 | avoids misleading output in some cases. |
Mark Dickinson | b08a53a | 2009-04-16 19:52:09 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 4442 | |
| 4443 | There's a new sys attribute sys.float_repr_style, which takes |
| 4444 | the value 'short' to indicate that we're using short float repr, |
| 4445 | and 'legacy' if the short float repr isn't available for one |
| 4446 | reason or another. |
| 4447 | |
| 4448 | The float repr change involves incorporating David Gay's 'perfect |
| 4449 | rounding' code into the Python core (it's in Python/dtoa.c). As a |
| 4450 | secondary consequence, all string-to-float and float-to-string |
| 4451 | conversions (including all float formatting operations) will be |
| 4452 | correctly rounded on these platforms. |

| 4458 | |
Georg Brandl | abc3877 | 2009-04-12 15:51:51 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 4459 | - The string.maketrans() function is deprecated; there is a new static method |
| 4460 | maketrans() on the bytes and bytearray classes. This removes confusion about |
| 4461 | the types string.maketrans() is supposed to work with, and mirrors the |
| 4462 | methods available on the str class. |

| 4807 | |
Antoine Pitrou | ab86831 | 2009-01-10 15:40:25 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 4808 | - Issue #4868: utf-8, utf-16 and latin1 decoding are now 2x to 4x faster. The |
| 4809 | common cases are optimized thanks to a dedicated fast path and a moderate |
| 4810 | amount of loop unrolling. |

Antoine Pitrou | 14b78f5 | 2009-01-09 22:27:08 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 4812 | - Issue #4074: Change the criteria for doing a full garbage collection (i.e. |
| 4813 | collecting the oldest generation) so that allocating lots of objects without |
| 4814 | destroying them does not show quadratic performance. Based on a proposal by |
| 4815 | Martin von Löwis at |
| 4816 | http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2008-June/080579.html. |

Antoine Pitrou | 8043cf8 | 2009-01-09 19:54:29 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 4819 | having been closed (for instance, a read() call could return some |
| 4820 | previously buffered data). Patch by Dmitry Vasiliev. |
| 4821 | |
Antoine Pitrou | 0560843 | 2009-01-09 18:53:14 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 4822 | - Issue #4705: Fix the -u ("unbuffered binary stdout and stderr") command-line |
| 4823 | flag to work properly. Furthermore, when specifying -u, the text stdout |
| 4824 | and stderr streams have line-by-line buffering enabled (the default being |
| 4825 | to buffer arbitrary chunks of data). |
| 4826 | |
Raymond Hettinger | 3563153 | 2009-01-09 03:58:09 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 4827 | - The internal table, _PyLong_DigitValue, is now an array of unsigned chars |
| 4828 | instead of ints (reducing its size from 4 to 8 times thereby reducing |
| 4829 | Python's overall memory). |
| 4830 | |
Antoine Pitrou | d35cbf6 | 2009-01-06 19:02:24 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 4831 | - Issue #1180193: When importing a module from a .pyc (or .pyo) file with |
| 4832 | an existing .py counterpart, override the co_filename attributes of all |
| 4833 | code objects if the original filename is obsolete (which can happen if the |
| 4834 | file has been renamed, moved, or if it is accessed through different paths). |
| 4835 | Patch by Ziga Seilnacht and Jean-Paul Calderone. |
| 4836 | |
Antoine Pitrou | c3b3924 | 2009-01-03 16:59:18 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 4837 | - Issue #4580: Fix slicing of memoryviews when the item size is greater than |
| 4838 | one byte. Also fixes the meaning of len() so that it returns the number of |
| 4839 | items, rather than the size in bytes. |
| 4840 | |

| 4881 | |
Mark Dickinson | fd24b32 | 2008-12-06 15:33:31 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 4882 | - Issue #4445: Replace "sizeof(PyBytesObject)" with |
| 4883 | "offsetof(PyBytesObject, ob_sval) + 1" when allocating memory for |
| 4884 | bytes instances. On a typical machine this saves 3 bytes of memory |

Georg Brandl | f973407 | 2008-12-07 15:30:06 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 4894 | - Issue #4233: Changed semantic of ``_fileio.FileIO``'s ``close()`` |
| 4895 | method on file objects with closefd=False. The file descriptor is still |
| 4896 | kept open but the file object behaves like a closed file. The ``FileIO`` |
| 4897 | object also got a new readonly attribute ``closefd``. |

Walter Dörwald | c1651a0 | 2009-05-03 22:55:55 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 4906 | - Issue #5108: Handle %s like %S, %R and %A in PyUnicode_FromFormatV(): Call |
| 4907 | PyUnicode_DecodeUTF8() once, remember the result and output it in a second |
