15862f50e5 Add a note to Node.isSameNode() that it is based on the DOM Level 3 working 
draft.  I'm not sure that's important, but Uche thinks it is.

f891404e1a Move the whrandom section back to the documented modules section; this

6270031f4e Adjustments to the text of the UnixMailbox description. Added 
PortableUnixMailbox as a separate class as well (this also generates
the right index entry).

0de88fc4b1 Change random.seed() so that it can get at the full range of possible 
internal states.  Put the old .seed() (which could only get at about
the square root of the # of possibilities) under the new name .whseed(),
for bit-level compatibility with older versions.  This occurred to me
while reviewing effbot's book (he found himself stumbling over .seed()
more than once there ...).

30dbd1429a Document the two changes to the mailbox.py module: 
- All constructors grow an optional argument `factory' which is a
  callable used when new message instances are created by the next()
  methods.  Defaults to the rfc822.Message class.

- A new subclass of UnixMailbox is added, called PortableUnixMailbox.
  It's identical to UnixMailbox, but uses a more portable test for
  From_ delimiter lines.  With PortableUnixMailbox, any line that
  starts with "From " is considered a delimiter (this should really
  check for two newlines before the F, but it doesn't.

e360d9507a The combo of getstate/setstate/jumpahead is very powerful, but needs 
examples to flesh it out for the uninitiated.  Here they are.

29052482d1 Removed references to Python 1.5.3; that was a "tentative" number I used 
in the docs to indicate the next version before we decided on 1.6.

Adjusted winsound.Beep() description slightly as well.

d52269bfd0 Fix bugs introduced by rewrite (in particular, time-based initialization 
got broken).  Also added new method .jumpahead(N).  This finally gives us
a semi-decent answer to how Python's RNGs can be used safely and efficiently
in multithreaded programs (although it requires the user to use the new
machinery!).

d7b5e88e8e Reworked random.py so that it no longer depends on, and offers all the 
functionality of, whrandom.py.  Also closes all the "XXX" todos in
random.py.  New frequently-requested functions/methods getstate() and
setstate().  All exported functions are now bound methods of a hidden
instance.  Killed all unintended exports.  Updated the docs.
FRED:  The more I fiddle the docs, the less I understand the exact
intended use of the \var, \code, \method tags.  Please review critically.
GUIDO:  See email.  I updated NEWS as if whrandom were deprecated; I
think it should be.

902446a28d Supply long-missing docs for random.seed(). Extensive rewrite of module 
intro docs.
*************** Fred:  check my LaTeX!  Also, the docs for whrandom should

f7f185116a Rewrite webbrowser.py to fix various bugs following Ka-Ping Yee's 
complaints.  The new version moves most of its initialization to
package load time; it's simpler, faster, smaller, and adds support for
Mozilla and Links.  Interpretation of the BROWSER variable now works
and is documented.  The open_new entry point and methods are marked
"deprecated; may be removed in 2.1".

0f564eaceb Change some wording to make this work with PDF generation -- using a PDF 
hyperlink at the start of the paragraph confused pdflatex; it saw the
link start while still in vertical mode, which is not allowed.  Including
text before the link forces horizontal mode.

fe385251f4 Make the 'time' argument to the timemodule functions strftime, asctime, 
ctime, gmtime and localtime optional, defaulting to 'the current time' in
all cases. Adjust docs, add news item. Also convert all argument-handling to
METH_VARARGS. Closes SF patch #103265.
