  -----------------
  
+ - The operator module has two new functions, attrgetter() and
+   itemgetter() which are useful for creating fast data extractor
+   functions for map(), list.sort(), itertools.groupby(), and
+   other functions that expect a function argument.
+ 
  - socket.SHUT_{RD,WR,RDWR} was added.
