2312-----------------
2313
Mark Dickinson865e01a2009-05-07 16:37:01[diff] [blame]2314- Issue #5914: Add new C API function PyOS_string_to_double, and
2315 deprecate PyOS_ascii_strtod and PyOS_ascii_atof.
2316
Eric Smith741191f2009-05-06 13:08:15[diff] [blame]2317- Issue #3382: float.__format__, complex.__format__, and %-formatting
2318 no longer map 'F' to 'f'. Because of issue #5859 (below), this only
2319 affects nan -> NAN and inf -> INF.
2320
Mark Hammond5a607a32009-05-06 08:04:54[diff] [blame]2321- Issue #5799: ntpath (ie, os.path on Windows) fully supports UNC pathnames
2322 in all operations, including splitdrive, split, etc. splitunc() now issues
2323 a PendingDeprecation warning.
2324
Eric Smith63376222009-05-05 14:04:18[diff] [blame]2325- Issue #5920: For float.__format__, change the behavior with the
2326 empty presentation type (that is, not one of 'e', 'f', 'g', or 'n')
2327 to be like 'g' but with at least one decimal point and with a
2328 default precision of 12. Previously, the behavior the same but with
2329 a default precision of 6. This more closely matches str(), and
2330 reduces surprises when adding alignment flags to the empty
2331 presentation type. This also affects the new complex.__format__ in
2332 the same way.
2333
Martin v. Löwis011e8422009-05-05 04:43:17[diff] [blame]2334- Implement PEP 383, Non-decodable Bytes in System Character Interfaces.
2335
R. David Murrayb18500d2009-05-04 22:59:07[diff] [blame]2336- Issue #5890: in subclasses of 'property' the __doc__ attribute was
2337 shadowed by classtype's, even if it was None. property now
2338 inserts the __doc__ into the subclass instance __dict__.
2339
Antoine Pitrou244651a2009-05-04 18:56:13[diff] [blame]2340- Issue #4426: The UTF-7 decoder was too strict and didn't accept some legal
2341 sequences. Patch by Nick Barnes and Victor Stinner.
2342
Martin v. Löwise0a2b722009-05-10 08:08:56[diff] [blame]2343- Issue #3672: Reject surrogates in utf-8 codec; add surrogatepass error handler.
Martin v. Löwisdb12d452009-05-02 18:52:14[diff] [blame]2344
Benjamin Petersond2e0c792009-05-01 20:40:59[diff] [blame]2345- Issue #5883: In the io module, the BufferedIOBase and TextIOBase ABCs have
2346 received a new method, detach(). detach() disconnects the underlying stream
2347 from the buffer or text IO and returns it.
2348
Mark Dickinson33841c32009-05-01 15:37:04[diff] [blame]2349- Issue #5859: Remove switch from '%f' to '%g'-style formatting for
2350 floats with absolute value over 1e50. Also remove length
2351 restrictions for float formatting: '%.67f' % 12.34 and '%.120e' %
2352 12.34 no longer raise an exception.
Mark Dickinsonf489caf2009-05-01 11:42:00[diff] [blame]2353
Eric Smith741191f2009-05-06 13:08:15[diff] [blame]2354- Issue #1588: Add complex.__format__. For example,
Eric Smith58a42242009-04-30 01:00:33[diff] [blame]2355 format(complex(1, 2./3), '.5') now produces a sensible result.
2356
Mark Dickinsond3ca5572009-04-29 18:47:07[diff] [blame]2357- Issue #5864: Fix empty format code formatting for floats so that it
2358 never gives more than the requested number of significant digits.
2359
Eric Smith6dc46f52009-04-27 20:39:49[diff] [blame]2360- Issue #5793: Rationalize isdigit / isalpha / tolower, etc. Includes
2361 new Py_ISDIGIT / Py_ISALPHA / Py_TOLOWER, etc. in pctypes.h.
2362
Eric Smithcc32a112009-04-26 21:35:14[diff] [blame]2363- Issue #5835: Deprecate PyOS_ascii_formatd.
2364
Martin v. Löwis71efeb72009-04-26 01:02:07[diff] [blame]2365- Issue #4971: Fix titlecase for characters that are their own
2366 titlecase, but not their own uppercase.
2367
Benjamin Peterson193152c2009-04-25 01:08:45[diff] [blame]2368- Issue #5283: Setting __class__ in __del__ caused a segfault.
2369
Mark Dickinsonad476da2009-04-23 19:14:16[diff] [blame]2370- Issue #5816: complex(repr(z)) now recovers z exactly, even when
2371 z involves nans, infs or negative zeros.
2372
Mark Dickinson4a16e3a2009-04-23 19:15:48[diff] [blame]2373- Issue #3166: Make int -> float conversions correctly rounded.
Mark Dickinsonc6300392009-04-20 21:38:00[diff] [blame]2374
Mark Dickinsone6a076d2009-04-18 11:48:33[diff] [blame]2375- Issue #1869 (and many duplicates): make round(x, n) correctly
2376 rounded for a float x, by using the decimal <-> binary conversions
2377 from Python/dtoa.c. As a consequence, (e.g.) round(x, 2) now
2378 consistently agrees with format(x, '.2f').
2379
Benjamin Petersonae937c02009-04-18 20:54:08[diff] [blame]2380- Issue #5787: object.__getattribute__(some_type, "__bases__") segfaulted on
2381 some builtin types.
2382
Eric Smith0923d1d2009-04-16 20:16:10[diff] [blame]2383- Issue #5772: format(1e100, '<') produces '1e+100', not '1.0e+100'.
2384
Eric Smith35e84722009-04-16 20:21:28[diff] [blame]2385- Issue #5515: str.format() type 'n' combined with commas and leading
2386 zeros no longer gives odd results with ints and floats.
Eric Smith0923d1d2009-04-16 20:16:10[diff] [blame]2387
2388- Implement PEP 378, Format Specifier for Thousands Separator, for
2389 floats.
2390
Mark Dickinson3370cce2009-04-17 22:40:53[diff] [blame]2391- The str function switches to exponential notation at
Mark Dickinsonb08a53a2009-04-16 19:52:09[diff] [blame]2392 1e11, not 1e12. This avoids printing 13 significant digits in
2393 situations where only 12 of them are correct. Example problem
2394 value: str(1e11 + 0.5). (This minor issue has existed in 2.x for a
2395 long time.)
2396
Mark Dickinsonb08a53a2009-04-16 19:52:09[diff] [blame]2397- Issue #1580: On most platforms, use a 'short' float repr: for a
2398 finite float x, repr(x) now outputs a string based on the shortest
2399 sequence of decimal digits that rounds to x. Previous behaviour was
2400 to output 17 significant digits and then strip trailing zeros.
Mark Dickinson3370cce2009-04-17 22:40:53[diff] [blame]2401 Another minor difference is that the new repr switches to
2402 exponential notation at 1e16 instead of the previous 1e17; this
2403 avoids misleading output in some cases.
Mark Dickinsonb08a53a2009-04-16 19:52:09[diff] [blame]2404
2405 There's a new sys attribute sys.float_repr_style, which takes
2406 the value 'short' to indicate that we're using short float repr,
2407 and 'legacy' if the short float repr isn't available for one
2408 reason or another.
2409
2410 The float repr change involves incorporating David Gay's 'perfect
2411 rounding' code into the Python core (it's in Python/dtoa.c). As a
2412 secondary consequence, all string-to-float and float-to-string
2413 conversions (including all float formatting operations) will be
2414 correctly rounded on these platforms.
2415
Georg Brandl442d3b32010-08-01 22:33:12[diff] [blame]2416 See issue #1580 discussions for details of platforms for which
Mark Dickinsonb08a53a2009-04-16 19:52:09[diff] [blame]2417 this change does not apply.
2418
Benjamin Peterson2808d3c2009-04-15 21:34:27[diff] [blame]2419- Issue #5759: float() didn't call __float__ on str subclasses.
2420
Georg Brandlabc38772009-04-12 15:51:51[diff] [blame]2421- The string.maketrans() function is deprecated; there is a new static method
2422 maketrans() on the bytes and bytearray classes. This removes confusion about
2423 the types string.maketrans() is supposed to work with, and mirrors the
2424 methods available on the str class.
2425
R. David Murraydc6da8a2009-04-09 22:16:43[diff] [blame]2426- Issue #2170: refactored xml.dom.minidom.normalize, increasing both
2427 its clarity and its speed.
2428
Matthias Klose091c7b12009-04-07 13:24:27[diff] [blame]2429- Issue #1113244: Py_XINCREF, Py_DECREF, Py_XDECREF: Add `do { ... } while (0)'
2430 to avoid compiler warnings.
2431
Walter Dörwald8dc33d52009-05-06 14:41:26[diff] [blame]2432- Issue #3739: The unicode-internal encoder now reports the number of characters
2433 consumed like any other encoder (instead of the number of bytes).

2591 untrackable objects are not tracked by the garbage collector. This can
2592 reduce the size of collections and therefore the garbage collection overhead
2593 on long-running programs, depending on their particular use of datatypes.

2780 previously buffered data). Patch by Dmitry Vasiliev.
2781
Antoine Pitrou05608432009-01-09 18:53:14[diff] [blame]2782- Issue #4705: Fix the -u ("unbuffered binary stdout and stderr") command-line
2783 flag to work properly. Furthermore, when specifying -u, the text stdout
2784 and stderr streams have line-by-line buffering enabled (the default being
2785 to buffer arbitrary chunks of data).
2786
Raymond Hettinger35631532009-01-09 03:58:09[diff] [blame]2787- The internal table, _PyLong_DigitValue, is now an array of unsigned chars
2788 instead of ints (reducing its size from 4 to 8 times thereby reducing

2790
Antoine Pitroud35cbf62009-01-06 19:02:24[diff] [blame]2791- Issue #1180193: When importing a module from a .pyc (or .pyo) file with
2792 an existing .py counterpart, override the co_filename attributes of all
2793 code objects if the original filename is obsolete (which can happen if the
2794 file has been renamed, moved, or if it is accessed through different paths).

2798 one byte. Also fixes the meaning of len() so that it returns the number of
2799 items, rather than the size in bytes.
2800
Martin v. Löwis5c88d812009-01-02 20:47:48[diff] [blame]2801- Issue #4075: Use OutputDebugStringW in Py_FatalError.
