[Python-Dev] [RELEASED] Python 3.3.0 alpha 1
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 On behalf of the Python development team, I'm happy to announce the second alpha release of Python 3.3.0. This is a preview release, and its use is not recommended in production settings. Python 3.3 includes a range of improvements of the 3.x series, as well as easier porting between 2.x and 3.x. Major new features and changes in the 3.3 release series are: * PEP 380, Syntax for Delegating to a Subgenerator (yield from) * PEP 393, Flexible String Representation (doing away with the distinction between wide and narrow Unicode builds) * PEP 409, Suppressing Exception Context * PEP 3151, Reworking the OS and IO exception hierarchy * A C implementation of the decimal module, with up to 80x speedup for decimal-heavy applications * The new packaging module, building upon the distribute and distutils2 projects and deprecating distutils * The new lzma module with LZMA/XZ support * PEP 3155, Qualified name for classes and functions * PEP 414, explicit Unicode literals to help with porting * The new faulthandler module that helps diagnosing crashes * Wrappers for many more POSIX functions in the os and signal modules, as well as other useful functions such as sendfile() * Hash randomization, introduced in earlier bugfix releases, is now switched on by default. For a more extensive list of changes in 3.3.0, see http://docs.python.org/3.3/whatsnew/3.3.html (*) To download Python 3.3.0 visit: http://www.python.org/download/releases/3.3.0/ Please consider trying Python 3.3.0 with your code and reporting any bugs you may notice to: http://bugs.python.org/ Enjoy! (*) Please note that this document is usually finalized late in the release cycle and therefore may have stubs and missing entries at this point. - -- Georg Brandl, Release Manager georg at python.org (on behalf of the entire python-dev team and 3.3's contributors) -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAk95PJgACgkQN9GcIYhpnLCN1QCfeYWp+QbPGYhaLSxc4YKnlE/F zU8An2q5qzvjL0qaxqaYleFGoGKPzzJu =qo4v -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com

Assigning that effort to the release manager or whoever is supposed to take care of this, is both impractical and prone to forgetfulness. Well, it’s the call of the whatsnew author. I think amk wrote the original instructions at the top of each whatsnew file which explain that NEWS is the primary location for logging changes and whatsnew is composed from that file. If Raymond or the new whatsnew author wants to change the rules so that important changes are noted in whatsnew in addition to NEWS, nothing prevents that.

Unfortunately, this does break some tests; it can be temporarily turned off by setting the environment variable PYTHONHASHSEED to 0 before launching python. I don't think that makes it clear enough that that's just a work-around and that it's the tests that need fixing in the first place.

I'll add one bullet point in the future announcements. I've added a note to what's new so that someone will add an appropriate paragraph.
