Python 3000 Release Notes
=========================
Release notes describe unfinished work in particular releases.
Please report bugs to http://bugs.python.org/.
Version 3.0a1 - Release Date 31-Aug-2007
----------------------------------------
- SSL support is disabled. This causes a test_ssl to be skipped.
The new SSL support in the 2.6 trunk (with server-side support and
certificate verification) will be ported for 3.0a2.
- Platform support is reduced. We've mostly tested on Linux, OSX,
and Windows.
- There are still some open issues on Windows.
- Some new features are very fresh, and probably contain bugs: the new
format() method on strings (PEP 3101), the strict separation of
bytes and strings, the new buffer API (PEP 3118).
