released this way.
+ Failing test cases need to get fixed
+
+ We need to resolve errors in the regression test suite quickly.
+ Changes should not be committed to the CVS tree unless the
+ regression test runs cleanly with the changes applied. If it
+ fails, there may be bugs lurking in the code. (There may be bugs
+ anyway, but that's another matter.) If the test cases are known
+ to fail, they serve no useful purpose.
+
+ The current test suite runs correctly on my Linux box (July 26).
+ Heard reports that test_fork1 fails on some Linux boxes and that
+ test_winreg and test_winreg32 fail on Windows.
+
+ Open items -- should be done/fixed
+
+ Decoding errors when comparing strings. There is a dictionary bug
+ that prevents objects from being accessible when an exception is
+ raised during hashing or comparison.
