  Added a footnote to each pointing out that for XML output if an encoding
  string is given it should conform to the appropriate XML standards---for
  example, "UTF-8" is okay, but "UTF8" is not.

  Issue 2264: empty float presentation type needs to have at least one digit past the decimal point.

  Added "Z" format_char to PyOS_ascii_formatd to support empty float presentation type.
  Renamed buf_size in PyOS_ascii_formatd to more accurately reflect it's meaning.
  Modified format.__float__ to use the new "Z" format as the default.
  Added test cases.

  Allow Gnu gcc's to build python on OSX by removing -Wno-long-double,
  -no-cpp-precomp, and -mno-fused-madd from configure.
   * r22183 added -no-cpp-precomp, which
     http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2005-12/msg00368.html claims hasn't been
     needed since gcc-3.1.
   * r25607 added -Wno-long-double to avoid a warning in
     Include/objimpl.h (issue 525481). The long double is still there,
     but OSX 10.4's gcc no longer warns about it.
   * r33666 fixed issue 775892 on OSX 10.3 by adding -mno-fused-madd,
     which changed the sign of some float 0s. Tim Peters said it wasn't
     a real issue anyway, and it no longer causes test failures.
  Fixes issue #1779871.

  Force zlib.crc32 and zlib.adler32 to return a signed integer on all platforms
  regardless of the native sizeof(long) used in the integer object.

  This somewhat odd behavior of returning a signed is maintained in 2.x for
  compatibility reasons of always returning an integer rather than a long object.

  Fixes Issue1202 for Python 2.6

  Speed up test_dict by about 10x by only checking selected dict literal sizes,

  Issue 2286: bump up the stack size of the 64-bit debug python_d.exe to 2100000.  The default value of 200000 causes a stack overflow at 1965 iterations of r_object() in marshal.c, 35 iterations before the 2000 limit enforced by MAX_MARSHAL_STACK_DEPTH.

  The behaviour of winsound.Beep() seems to differ between different versions of Windows when there's either:
      a) no sound card entirely
      b) legacy beep driver has been disabled
      c) the legacy beep driver has been uninstalled
  Sometimes RuntimeErrors are raised, sometimes they're not.  If _have_soundcard() returns False, don't expect winsound.Beep() to raise a RuntimeError, as this clearly isn't the case, as demonstrated by the various Win32 XP buildbots.

README.txt

bits shared by the stringobject and unicodeobject implementations (and
possibly other modules, in a not too distant future).

the stuff in here is included into relevant places; see the individual
source files for details.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
the following defines used by the different modules:

STRINGLIB_CHAR

    the type used to hold a character (char or Py_UNICODE)

STRINGLIB_EMPTY

    a PyObject representing the empty string

int STRINGLIB_CMP(STRINGLIB_CHAR*, STRINGLIB_CHAR*, Py_ssize_t)

    compares two strings. returns 0 if they match, and non-zero if not.

Py_ssize_t STRINGLIB_LEN(PyObject*)

    returns the length of the given string object (which must be of the
    right type)

PyObject* STRINGLIB_NEW(STRINGLIB_CHAR*, Py_ssize_t)

    creates a new string object

STRINGLIB_CHAR* STRINGLIB_STR(PyObject*)

    returns the pointer to the character data for the given string
    object (which must be of the right type)

int STRINGLIB_CHECK_EXACT(PyObject *)

    returns true if the object is an instance of our type, not a subclass.

STRINGLIB_MUTABLE

    Must be 0 or 1 to tell the cpp macros in stringlib code if the object
    being operated on is mutable or not.
