    functions and attribution of time spent to the wrong function.
  
+   The code and documentation for the derived OldProfile and HotProfile
+   profiling classes was removed.  The code hasn't worked for years (if
+   you tried to use them, they raised exceptions).  OldProfile
+   intended to reproduce the behavior of the profiler Python used more
+   than 7 years ago, and isn't interesting anymore.  HotProfile intended
+   to provide a faster profiler (but producing less information), and
+   that's a worthy goal we intend to meet via a different approach (but
+   without losing information).
+ 
  - quopri's encode and decode methods take an optional header parameter,
    which indicates whether output is intended for the header 'Q' encoding.
