|
Version 3.0a2 - Release Date 07-Dec-2007
|
|
|
|
|
----------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* SSL support is back! However, the SSL code appears to be leaking
|
|
|
|
|
quite a bit.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2007-12-06 14:25:07 -04:00
|
|
|
* On Windows Python can't be run from a directory with non ASCII chars
|
|
|
|
|
in its path name (bug #1342).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The current releases of MinGW and Cygwin can't build Python extensions
|
|
|
|
|
since they don't support msvcr90.dll. The necessary bits and pieces are
|
|
|
|
|
already in Python and cygwin cvs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2007-12-06 01:07:41 -04:00
|
|
|
* Otherwise, the 3.0a1 release notes still apply, except hashlib no
|
|
|
|
|
longer requires openssl.
|
|
|

|
|
Version 3.0a1 - Release Date 31-Aug-2007
|
|
|
|
|
----------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
2007-08-30 17:18:10 -03:00
|
|
|
* SSL support is disabled. This causes test_ssl to be skipped.
|
2007-08-30 14:16:55 -03:00
|
|
|
The new SSL support in the 2.6 trunk (with server-side support and
|
|
|
|
|
certificate verification) will be ported for 3.0a2.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2007-08-30 21:38:53 -03:00
|
|
|
* If you don't have `openssl <http://www.openssl.org>`_ installed, or
|
|
|
|
|
a version older than 0.9.7, hashlib is non-functional, which means
|
|
|
|
|
there is no way to compute MD5 checksums. This breaks some modules.
|
2007-08-30 17:18:10 -03:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Platform support is reduced. We've mostly tested on Linux, OSX,
|
2007-08-30 21:38:53 -03:00
|
|
|
and Windows. Solaris is also supported (somewhat).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* There may be additional issues on 64-bit architectures.
|
2007-08-30 14:16:55 -03:00
|
|
|
|
2007-08-30 17:18:10 -03:00
|
|
|
* There are still some open issues on Windows.
|
2007-08-30 14:16:55 -03:00
|
|
|
|
2007-08-30 17:18:10 -03:00
|
|
|
* Some new features are very fresh, and probably contain bugs: the new
|
2007-08-30 14:16:55 -03:00
|
|
|
format() method on strings (PEP 3101), the strict separation of
|
|
|
|
|
bytes and strings, the new buffer API (PEP 3118).

|
|
|
|
2007-08-30 17:18:10 -03:00
|
|
|
* IDLE still has some open issues. If you can't run it at all, try
|
2007-08-30 15:44:53 -03:00
|
|
|
"idle -n" which disables the separate subprocess for the
|
|
|
|
|
interpreter.
