What's New in Python 3.1 alpha 0
|
|
================================
|
|
|
|
*Release date: XX-XXX-2008*
|
|
|
|
Core and Builtins
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
- Issue #4445: Replace "sizeof(PyBytesObject)" with
|
|
"offsetof(PyBytesObject, ob_sval) + 1" when allocating memory for
|
|
bytes instances. On a typical machine this saves 3 bytes of memory
|
|
(on average) per allocation of a bytes instance.
|
|
|
|
- Issue #4533: File read operation was dreadfully slow due to a slowly
|
|
growing read buffer. Fixed by using the same growth rate algorithm as
|
|
Python 2.x.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Library
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
- Issue #4483: _dbm module now builds on systems with gdbm & gdbm_compat
|
|
libs.
|
|
|
|
- Issue #4542: On Windows, binascii.crc32 still accepted str as binary input;
|
|
the corresponding tests now pass.
|
|
|
|
- Issue #4537: webbrowser.UnixBrowser would fail to open the browser because
|
|
it was calling the wrong open() function.
|
|
|
|
- Issue #1055234: cgi.parse_header(): Fixed parsing of header parameters to
|
|
support unusual filenames (such as those containing semi-colons) in
|
|
Content-Disposition headers.
