Brian Curtin b9bf97132d #8575 - Update and reorganize some _winreg contents.
I've removed the hopeful note about a future higher-level module since
it's been in there for quite a long time and nothing of the sort has
come up. There are a few places where markup was added to cross-reference
other sections, and many of the external links have been removed and now
point to newly created sections containing previously undocumented
information.

The Value Types section was created and it's contents were taken from
a function-specific area, since it applies to more than just that
function. It fits in better with the other newly documented constants.

Andrew M. Kuchling 0efe18ab0c Write summary of the 2.7 release; rewrite the future section some more;
mention PYTHONWARNINGS env. var; tweak some examples for readability.

And with this commit, the "What's New" is done... except for a
complete read-through to polish the text, and fixing any reported errors,
but those tasks can easily wait until after beta2.

Brian Curtin 4e20ab24cf Update the Windows FAQ's text about os.kill (#1220212). 2010-04-12 18:07:21 +00:00
R. David Murray 1a14d3d169 Issue #7585: use tab between components in unified and context diff headers.
Instead of spaces between the filename and date (or whatever the string
is that follows the filename, if any) use tabs.  This is what the unix
'diff' command does, for example, and difflib was intended to follow
the 'standard' way of doing diffs.  This improves compatibility with
patch tools.  The docs and examples are also changed to recommended that
the date format used be the ISO 8601 format, which is what modern diff
tools emit by default.
