  Windows
  
+ - The signal module now supports SIGBREAK on Windows, thanks to Steven
+   Scott.  Note that SIGBREAK is unique to Windows.  The default SIGBREAK
+   action remains to call Win32 ExitProcess().  This can be changed via
+   signal.signal().  For example:
+ 
+   # Make Ctrl+Break raise KeyboardInterrupt, like Python's default Ctrl+C
+   # (SIGINT) behavior.
+   import signal
+   signal.signal(signal.SIGBREAK,
+                 signal.default_int_handler)
+ 
+   try:
+       while 1:
+           pass
+   except KeyboardInterrupt:
+       # We get here on Ctrl+C or Ctrl+Break now; if we had not changed
+       # SIGBREAK, only on Ctrl+C (and Ctrl+Break would terminate the
+       # program without the possibility for any Python-level cleanup).
+       print "Clean exit"
+
