  Type/class unification and new-style classes
  
+ - The new builtin dictionary() constructor, and dictionary type, have
+   been renamed to dict.  This reflects a decade of common usage.
+ 
  - New-style classes can now have a __del__ method, which is called
    when the instance is deleted (just like for classic classes).
