Python 3000 Release Notes
=========================
Release notes describe unfinished work in particular releases.
Please report bugs to http://bugs.python.org/.
Version 3.0a2 - Release Date 07-Dec-2007
----------------------------------------
* SSL support is back! However, the SSL code appears to be leaking
quite a bit.
* Otherwise, the 3.0a1 release notes still apply, except hashlib no
longer requires openssl.
Version 3.0a1 - Release Date 31-Aug-2007
----------------------------------------
* SSL support is disabled. This causes 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.
* 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.
* Platform support is reduced. We've mostly tested on Linux, OSX,
and Windows. Solaris is also supported (somewhat).
* There may be additional issues on 64-bit architectures.
* 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).
* IDLE still has some open issues. If you can't run it at all, try
"idle -n" which disables the separate subprocess for the
interpreter.
