Raw Normal View History

ReST-ification of the NEWS file. While the total number of changes are fairly large, most are caused by reformatting section and subsection headings. The changes fall into the following categories: * reformatted section and subsection headers. * escaped isolated asterisks which would be interpreted as starting bold or italic text (e.g. "void (*)(PyObject \*)"). * quoted stuff that looks like internal references but isn't (e.g. ``PyCmp_``). * changed visually balanced quotes to just use apostrophes (e.g. "'string'" instead of "`string'"). * introduced and indenting multiline chunks of code. * created one table (search for "New codecs").

Checkpoint. 218 tests are okay; 53 are failing. Done so far: - all classes are new-style (but ripping out classobject.[ch] isn't done) - int/int -> float - all exceptions must derive from BaseException - absolute import - 'as' and 'with' are keywords

What's New in Python 3000?
==========================
Partially merge trunk into p3yk. The removal of Mac/Tools is confusing svn merge in bad ways, so I'll have to merge that extra-carefully (probably manually.) Merged revisions 46495-46605 via svnmerge from svn+ssh://pythondev@svn.python.org/python/trunk ........ r46495 | tim.peters | 2006-05-28 03:52:38 +0200 (Sun, 28 May 2006) | 2 lines Added missing svn:eol-style property to text files. ........ r46497 | tim.peters | 2006-05-28 12:41:29 +0200 (Sun, 28 May 2006) | 3 lines PyErr_Display(), PyErr_WriteUnraisable(): Coverity found a cut-and-paste bug in both: `className` was referenced before being checked for NULL. ........ r46499 | fredrik.lundh | 2006-05-28 14:06:46 +0200 (Sun, 28 May 2006) | 5 lines needforspeed: added Py_MEMCPY macro (currently tuned for Visual C only), and use it for string copy operations. this gives a 20% speedup on some string benchmarks. ........ r46501 | michael.hudson | 2006-05-28 17:51:40 +0200 (Sun, 28 May 2006) | 26 lines Quality control, meet exceptions.c. Fix a number of problems with the need for speed code: One is doing this sort of thing: Py_DECREF(self->field); self->field = newval; Py_INCREF(self->field); without being very sure that self->field doesn't start with a value that has a __del__, because that almost certainly can lead to segfaults. As self->args is constrained to be an exact tuple we may as well exploit this fact consistently. This leads to quite a lot of simplification (and, hey, probably better performance). Add some error checking in places lacking it. Fix some rather strange indentation in the Unicode code. Delete some trailing whitespace. More to come, I haven't fixed all the reference leaks yet... ........ r46502 | george.yoshida | 2006-05-28 18:39:09 +0200 (Sun, 28 May 2006) | 3 lines Patch #1080727: add "encoding" parameter to doctest.DocFileSuite Contributed by Bjorn Tillenius. ........ r46503 | martin.v.loewis | 2006-05-28 18:57:38 +0200 (Sun, 28 May 2006) | 4 lines Rest of patch #1490384: Commit icon source, remove claim that Erik von Blokland is the author of the installer picture. ........ r46504 | michael.hudson | 2006-05-28 19:40:29 +0200 (Sun, 28 May 2006) | 16 lines Quality control, meet exceptions.c, round two. Make some functions that should have been static static. Fix a bunch of refleaks by fixing the definition of MiddlingExtendsException. Remove all the __new__ implementations apart from BaseException_new. Rewrite most code that needs it to cope with NULL fields (such code could get excercised anyway, the __new__-removal just makes it more likely). This involved editing the code for WindowsError, which I can't test. This fixes all the refleaks in at least the start of a regrtest -R :: run. ........ r46505 | marc-andre.lemburg | 2006-05-28 19:46:58 +0200 (Sun, 28 May 2006) | 10 lines Initial version of systimes - a module to provide platform dependent performance measurements.

Remaining open issues: * test_extcall is an output test, messy to make robust * tarfile.py has a potential bug here, but I'm not familiar enough with this code. Filed in as SF bug #1496501. * urllib2.HTTPPasswordMgr() returns a random result if there is more than one matching root path.

Alas, I estimate it would take a few days to find a specific such case, so this isn't backed up by a new test (not to mention that such a case may take hours to run, since conversion time is quadratic in the number of digits, and preliminary attempts suggested that the smallest such inputs contain at least a million digits). ........ r46560 | fredrik.lundh | 2006-05-30 19:11:48 +0200 (Tue, 30 May 2006) | 3 lines changed find/rfind to return -1 for matches outside the source string ........ r46561 | bob.ippolito | 2006-05-30 19:37:54 +0200 (Tue, 30 May 2006) | 1 line Change wrapping terminology to overflow masking ........ r46562 | fredrik.lundh | 2006-05-30 19:39:58 +0200 (Tue, 30 May 2006) | 3 lines changed count to return 0 for slices outside the source string ........ r46568 | tim.peters | 2006-05-31 01:28:02 +0200 (Wed, 31 May 2006) | 2 lines Whitespace normalization. ........ r46569 | brett.cannon | 2006-05-31 04:19:54 +0200 (Wed, 31 May 2006) | 5 lines Clarify wording on default values for strptime(); defaults are used when better values cannot be inferred.

Fix: add a .rpc_paths attribute to the SimpleXMLRPCServer class, and report a 404 error if the path isn't on the allowed list. Possibly-controversial aspect of this change: the default makes only '/' and '/RPC2' legal. Maybe this will break people's applications (though I doubt it).

Backport candidate (also the early break above if decoding_fgets fails) ........ r46603 | martin.blais | 2006-06-02 15:03:43 +0200 (Fri, 02 Jun 2006) | 1 line Fixed struct test to not use unittest. ........ r46605 | tim.peters | 2006-06-03 01:22:51 +0200 (Sat, 03 Jun 2006) | 10 lines pprint functions used to sort a dict (by key) if and only if the output required more than one line. "Small" dicts got displayed in seemingly random order (the hash-induced order produced by dict.__repr__). None of this was documented. Now pprint functions always sort dicts by key, and the docs promise it. This was proposed and agreed to during the PyCon 2006 core sprint -- I just didn't have time for it before now. ........

The usual post-release fiddling.

Build
ReST-ification of the NEWS file. While the total number of changes are fairly large, most are caused by reformatting section and subsection headings. The changes fall into the following categories: * reformatted section and subsection headers. * escaped isolated asterisks which would be interpreted as starting bold or italic text (e.g. "void (*)(PyObject \*)"). * quoted stuff that looks like internal references but isn't (e.g. ``PyCmp_``). * changed visually balanced quotes to just use apostrophes (e.g. "'string'" instead of "`string'"). * introduced and indenting multiline chunks of code. * created one table (search for "New codecs").

Checkpoint. 218 tests are okay; 53 are failing. Done so far: - all classes are new-style (but ripping out classobject.[ch] isn't done) - int/int -> float - all exceptions must derive from BaseException - absolute import - 'as' and 'with' are keywords
