    have been assigned now returns an empty dictionary instead of None.
  
+ - A new command line option, -E, was added which disables the use of
+   all environment variables, or at least those that are specifically
+   significant to Python.  Usually those have a name starting with
+   "PYTHON".  This was used to fix a problem where the tests fail if
+   the user happens to have PYTHONHOME or PYTHONPATH pointing to an
+   older distribution.
