Includes:
-mention cx_Freeze instead of py2exe (at least until py2exe supports Python 3)
-update ActivePython link
-Remove mention of platforms that were never supported by Python 3 (Win9x, DOS)
* You may now specify an expression as the default value for a
parameter! Example: "sys.maxsize - 1". This support is
intentionally quite limited; you may only use values that
can be represented as static C values.
* Removed "doc_default", simplified support for "c_default"
and "py_default". (I'm not sure we still even need
"py_default", but I'm leaving it in for now in case a
use presents itself.)
* Parameter lines support a trailing '\\' as a line
continuation character, allowing you to break up long lines.
* The argument parsing code generated when supporting optional
groups now uses PyTuple_GET_SIZE instead of PyTuple_GetSize,
leading to a 850% speedup in parsing. (Just kidding, this
is an unmeasurable difference.)
* A bugfix for the recent regression where the generated
prototype from pydoc for builtins would be littered with
unreadable "=<object ...>"" default values for parameters
that had no default value.
* Converted some asserts into proper failure messages.
* Many doc improvements and fixes.
requires them. Disable executable bits and shebang lines in test and
benchmark files in order to prevent using a random system python, and in
source files of modules which don't provide command line interface. Fixed
shebang lines in the unittestgui and checkpip scripts.

shebang line to use python3 executable in the unittestgui script.
* Negative integer support in binary plists was broken
* Better exception for invalid data
* Fix the versionadded/versionchanged markup in the documentation
* Add the interface cleanup to what's new for 3.4
This fixes an edge case (20206) where if the input ended in a character
needing encoding but there was no newline on the string, the last byte
of the encoded character would be dropped. The fix is to use a more
efficient algorithm, provided by Serhiy Storchaka (5803), that does not
have the bug.
