\item Two new wrapper functions, \cfunction{PyOS_snprintf()} and
\cfunction{PyOS_vsnprintf()} were added. which provide a cross-platform
implementations for the relatively new snprintf()/vsnprintf() C lib
APIs. In contrast to the standard sprintf() and vsprintf() C lib
APIs, these versions apply bounds checking on the used buffer which
enhances protection against buffer overruns.

\item Two new flags \constant{METH_NOARGS} and \constant{METH_O} are
available in method definition tables to simplify implementation of
methods with no arguments or a single untyped argument. Calling
such methods is more efficient than calling a corresponding method
that uses \constant{METH_VARARGS}.
Also, the old \constant{METH_OLDARGS} style of writing C methods is
now officially deprecated.
