[Python-Dev] Dev FAQ update request for svnmerge

2010-08-16 Thread Nick Coghlan

For 2.6.6rc1 a patch was committed that addressed bug 7902: http://bugs.python.org/issue7902 http://svn.python.org/view?rev=81381&view=rev While this fixes a legitimate bug in Python 2.6, it also changes existing behavior in the 2.6 series. As 2.6.6 is the last planned maintenance release, I do
