What's New in Python 2.6.6? =========================== *Release date: 2010-08-24* Core and Builtins ----------------- Library ------- What's New in Python 2.6.6 rc 2? ================================ *Release date: 2010-08-16* Library ------- - Issue #9600: Don't use relative import for _multiprocessing on Windows. - Issue #8688: Revert regression introduced in 2.6.6rc1 (making Distutils recalculate MANIFEST every time). - Issue #5798: Handle select.poll flag oddities properly on OS X. This fixes test_asynchat and test_smtplib failures on OS X. - Issue #9543: Fix regression in socket.py introduced in Python 2.6.6 rc 1 in r83624. Extension Modules ----------------- - Issue #7567: Don't call `setupterm' twice. Tests ----- - Issue #9568: Fix test_urllib2_localnet on OS X 10.3. - Issue #9145: Fix test_coercion failure in refleak runs. - Issue #8433: Fix test_curses failure caused by newer versions of 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 #8447: Make distutils.sysconfig follow symlinks in the path to the interpreter executable.

Initial patch by Ezio Melotti. - Issue #5006: Better handling of unicode byte-order marks (BOM) in the io library. This means, for example, that opening an UTF-16 text file in append mode doesn't add a BOM at the end of the file if the file isn't empty. - Issue #3704: cookielib was not properly handling URLs with a / in the parameters. - Issue #4629: getopt raises an error if an argument ends with = whereas getopt doesn't except a value (eg. --help= is rejected if getopt uses ['help='] long options). - Issue #7895: platform.mac_ver() no longer crashes after calling os.fork() - Issue #5395: array.fromfile() would raise a spurious EOFError when an I/O error occurred. Now an IOError is raised instead. Patch by chuck (Jan Hosang). - Issue #1555570: email no longer inserts extra blank lines when a \r\n combo crosses an 8192 byte boundary. - Issue #9164: Ensure sysconfig handles dupblice archs while building on OSX - Issue #7646: The fnmatch pattern cache no longer grows without bound. - Issue #9136: Fix 'dictionary changed size during iteration' RuntimeError produced when profiling the decimal module.

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.
