  Library
  
+ - dumbdbm.py: fixed a dumb old bug (the file didn't get synched at
+   close or delete time).
+ 
+ - rfc822.py: fixed a bug where the address '<>' was converted to None
+   instead of an empty string.
+ 
+ - xmlrpclib.py: version 1.0.0; uses precision for doubles.
+ 
+ - test suite: the pickle and cPickle tests were not executing any code
+   when run from the standard regresssion test.
