+What's New in Python 3.2.4
+==========================
+
+*Release date: XX-XX-XXXX*
+
+Core and Builtins
+-----------------
+
+- Issue #1469629: Allow cycles through an object's __dict__ slot to be
+ collected. (For example if ``x.__dict__ is x``).
+
+- Issue #14172: Fix reference leak when marshalling a buffer-like object
+ (other than a bytes object).
+
+- Issue #13521: dict.setdefault() now does only one lookup for the given key,
+ making it "atomic" for many purposes. Patch by Filip Gruszczyński.
+
+Library
+-------
+
+- Issue #14195: An issue that caused weakref.WeakSet instances to incorrectly
+ return True for a WeakSet instance 'a' in both 'a < a' and 'a > a' has been
+ fixed.
+
+- Issue #14177: marshal.loads() now raises TypeError when given an unicode
+ string. Patch by Guilherme Gonçalves.
+
+- Issue #14159: Fix the len() of weak containers (WeakSet, WeakKeyDictionary,
+ WeakValueDictionary) to return a better approximation when some objects
+ are dead or dying. Moreover, the implementation is now O(1) rather than
+ O(n).
+
+- Issue #13125: Silence spurious test_lib2to3 output when in non-verbose mode.
+ Patch by Mikhail Novikov.
+
+- Issue #13447: Add a test file to host regression tests for bugs in the
+ scripts found in the Tools directory.
+
+- Issue #6884: Fix long-standing bugs with MANIFEST.in parsing in distutils
+ on Windows.
+
+- Issue #8033: sqlite3: Fix 64-bit integer handling in user functions
+ on 32-bit architectures. Initial patch by Philippe Devalkeneer.
+
+Extension Modules
+-----------------
+
+- Issue #14212: The re module didn't retain a reference to buffers it was
+ scanning, resulting in segfaults.
+
+
