  ncurses returning ERR from getmouse() when there are no mouse
  events available.

What's New in Python 2.6.6 rc 1?
================================

*Release date: 2010-08-03*

Core and Builtins
-----------------

- Issue #6213: Implement getstate() and setstate() methods of utf-8-sig and
  utf-16 incremental encoders.

- Issue #8271: during the decoding of an invalid UTF-8 byte sequence, only the
  start byte and the continuation byte(s) are now considered invalid, instead
  of the number of bytes specified by the start byte.
  E.g.: '\xf1\x80AB'.decode('utf-8', 'replace') now returns u'\ufffdAB' and
  replaces with U+FFFD only the start byte ('\xf1') and the continuation byte
  ('\x80') even if '\xf1' is the start byte of a 4-bytes sequence.
  Previous versions returned a single u'\ufffd'.

- Issue #9058: Remove assertions about INT_MAX in UnicodeDecodeError.

- Issue #8941: decoding big endian UTF-32 data in UCS-2 builds could crash
  the interpreter with characters outside the Basic Multilingual Plane
  (higher than 0x10000).

- Issue #8627: Remove bogus "Overriding __cmp__ blocks inheritance of
  __hash__ in 3.x" warning.  Also fix "XXX undetected error" that
  arises from the "Overriding __eq__ blocks inheritance ..." warning
  when turned into an exception: in this case the exception simply
  gets ignored.

- Issue #4108: In urllib.robotparser, if there are multiple 'User-agent: *'
  entries, consider the first one.

- Issue #9354: Provide getsockopt() in asyncore's file_wrapper.

- In the unicode/str.format(), raise a ValueError when indexes to arguments are
  too large.

- Issue #3798: Write sys.exit() message to sys.stderr to use stderr encoding
  and error handler, instead of writing to the C stderr file in utf-8

- Issue #7902: When using explicit relative import syntax, don't try
  implicit relative import semantics.

- Issue #7079: Fix a possible crash when closing a file object while using
  it from another thread.  Patch by Daniel Stutzbach.

- Issue #1533: fix inconsistency in range function argument
  processing: any non-float non-integer argument is now converted to
  an integer (if possible) using its __int__ method.  Previously, only
  small arguments were treated this way; larger arguments (those whose
  __int__ was outside the range of a C long) would produce a TypeError.

- Issue #8417: Raise an OverflowError when an integer larger than sys.maxsize
  is passed to bytearray.

- Issue #8329: Don't return the same lists from select.select when no fds are
  changed.

- Raise a TypeError when trying to delete a T_STRING_INPLACE struct member.

- Issue #1583863: An unicode subclass can now override the __unicode__ method.

- Issue #7507: Quote "!" in pipes.quote(); it is special to some shells.

- Issue #7544: Preallocate thread memory before creating the thread to avoid
  a fatal error in low memory condition.

- Issue #7820: The parser tokenizer restores all bytes in the right if
  the BOM check fails.

- Issue #7072: isspace(0xa0) is true on Mac OS X

C-API
-----

- Issue #5753: A new C API function, :cfunc:`PySys_SetArgvEx`, allows
  embedders of the interpreter to set sys.argv without also modifying
  sys.path.  This helps fix `CVE-2008-5983
  <http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-5983>`_.

Library
-------

- Issue #8313: traceback.format_exception_only() encodes unicode message to
  ASCII with backslashreplace error handler if str(value) failed

- Issue #8567: Fix precedence of signals in Decimal module: when a
  Decimal operation raises multiple signals and more than one of those

  Sridhar Ratnakumar.

- Issue #2302: Fix a race condition in SocketServer.BaseServer.shutdown,
  where the method could block indefinitely if called just before the

  witnessed in test_httpservers.

- Issue #5103: SSL handshake would ignore the socket timeout and block
  indefinitely if the other end didn't respond.

- The do_handshake() method of SSL objects now adjusts the blocking mode of
  the SSL structure if necessary (as other methods already do).

- Issue #5238: Calling makefile() on an SSL object would prevent the
  underlying socket from being closed until all objects get truely destroyed.

- Issue #7943: Fix circular reference created when instantiating an SSL
  socket.  Initial patch by Péter Szabó.

- Issue #8108: Fix the unwrap() method of SSL objects when the socket has
  a non-infinite timeout.  Also make that method friendlier with applications
  wanting to continue using the socket in clear-text mode, by disabling

  didn't support chflags() (for example ZFS under FreeBSD).  The error is
  now silenced.

- Issue #3890, #8222: Fix recv() and recv_into() on non-blocking SSL sockets.
  Also, enable the SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY flag on SSL sockets, so that blocking
  reads and writes are always retried by OpenSSL itself.

  the locale.

Extension Modules
-----------------

- Fix memory leak in ssl._ssl._test_decode_cert.

- Issue #9422: Fix memory leak when re-initializing a struct.Struct object.

- Issue #7900: The getgroups(2) system call on MacOSX behaves rather oddly
  compared to other unix systems. In particular, os.getgroups() does
  not reflect any changes made using os.setgroups() but basicly always
  returns the same information as the id command.

  os.getgroups() can now return more than 16 groups on MacOSX.

- Issue #9277: Fix bug in struct.pack for bools in standard mode
  (e.g., struct.pack('>?')):  if conversion to bool raised an exception
  then that exception wasn't properly propagated on machines where
  char is unsigned.

- Issue #7384: If the system readline library is linked against
  ncurses, do not link the readline module against ncursesw. The
  additional restriction of linking the readline and curses modules
  against the same curses library is currently not enabled.

- Issue #2810: Fix cases where the Windows registry API returns
  ERROR_MORE_DATA, requiring a re-try in order to get the complete result.

- Issue #1628484: The Makefile doesn't ignore the CFLAGS environment
  variable anymore.  It also forwards the LDFLAGS settings to the linker
  when building a shared library.

Tests
-----

- Issue #7849: Now the utility ``check_warnings`` verifies if the warnings are
  effectively raised.  A new private utility ``_check_py3k_warnings`` has been
  backported to help silencing py3k warnings.

- Issue #8672: Add a zlib test ensuring that an incomplete stream can be
  handled by a decompressor object without errors (it returns incomplete
  uncompressed data).

- Issue #8629: Disable some test_ssl tests, since they give different
  results with OpenSSL 1.0.0 and higher.

- Issue #8576: Remove use of find_unused_port() in test_smtplib and
  test_multiprocessing.  Patch by Paul Moore.

- Issue #7027: regrtest.py keeps a reference to the encodings.ascii module as a
  workaround to #7140 bug

- Issue #3864: Skip three test_signal tests on freebsd6 because they fail
  if any thread was previously started, most likely due to a platform bug.

-------------

- Issue #9255: Document that the 'test' package is for internal Python use
  only.
