Some other highlights:
-* test_marshal now passes, and there's been significant progress on pickling
- (thanks Kenny Levinsen and Amaury for implementing int.to/from_bytes)
+* ``test_marshal`` now passes, and there's been significant progress on
pickling
+ (thanks Kenny Levinsen and Amaury for implementing ``int.{to,from}_bytes``)
-* We now have a _posixsubprocess module
+XXX: should we put a link to Kenny's twitter/webpage?
+
+* We now have a ``_posixsubprocess`` module
* More encoding related fixes, which affects many failing tests
-* _sre was updated and now test_re almost passes
+* ``_sre`` was updated and now ``test_re`` almost passes
* Exception behavior is almost complete per the Python 3 specs, what's mostly
- missing now are the new __context__ and __traceback__ attributes (`PEP

(`PEP
3134`_)
* Fixed some crashes and deadlocks occurring during the regression tests
+* We merged the `unicode-strategies`_ branch both to default and to py3k: now
we
+ have versions of lists, dictionaries and sets specialized for unicode
+ elements, as we already had for strings.
+
+* However, for string-specialized containers are still faster in some cases
+ because there are shortcuts which have not been implemented for unicode yet
+ (e.g., constructing a set of strings from a list of strings). The plan is to
+ completely kill the shortcuts and improve the JIT to produce the fast
+ version automatically for both the string and unicode versions, to have a
+ more maintainable codebase without sacrificing the speed. The `autoreds`_
+ branch (already merged) was a first step in this direction.

cheers,
