  -------
  
+ - Updated the decimal package's min() and max() methods to match the
+   latest revision of the General Decimal Arithmetic Specification.
+   Quiet NaNs are ignored and equal values are sorted based on sign
+   and exponent.
+ 
+ - The decimal package's Context.copy() method now returns deep copies.
+ 
+ - Deprecated sys.exitfunc in favor of the atexit module.  The sys.exitfunc
+   attribute will be kept around for backwards compatability and atexit
+   will just become the one preferred way to do it.
+ 
  - patch #675551: Add get_history_item and replace_history_item functions
    to the readline module.

  -----------
  
+ - IDLE's shortcut keys for windows are now case insensitive so that
+   Control-V works the same as Control-v.
+ 
  - pygettext.py: Generate POT-Creation-Date header in ISO format.
