Briefly (from the NEWS file):
- Updates for the email package:
+ All deprecated APIs that in email 2.x issued warnings have been removed:
_encoder argument to the MIMEText constructor, Message.add_payload(),
Utils.dump_address_pair(), Utils.decode(), Utils.encode()
+ New deprecations: Generator.__call__(), Message.get_type(),
Message.get_main_type(), Message.get_subtype(), the 'strict' argument to
the Parser constructor. These will be removed in email 3.1.
+ Support for Python earlier than 2.3 has been removed (see PEP 291).
+ All defect classes have been renamed to end in 'Defect'.
+ Some FeedParser fixes; also a MultipartInvariantViolationDefect will be
added to messages that claim to be multipart but really aren't.
+ Updates to documentation.
request. Tim says that "correct 'fuzzy' comparison of floats cannot
be automated." (The motivation behind adding the new option
was verifying interactive examples in Python's latex documentation;
several such examples use numbers that don't print consistently on
different platforms.)
reStructuredText format. Remove words describing the return value of
testmod() and testfile() in the intro sections, since it's never
useful in such simple cases.
its documentation.
* Documented that the compiled re methods are supposed to be more full
featured than their simpilified function counterparts.
* Documented the existing start and stop position arguments for the
findall() and finditer() methods of compiled regular expression objects.
* Added an optional flags argument to the re.findall() and re.finditer()
functions. This aligns their API with that for re.search() and
re.match().
- Reorganized the documentation
- Shifted focus a little more towards "literate testing"
- Documented new functions and classes:
- testfile()
- Example, DocTest
- DocTestParser, DocTestFinder, DocTestRunner, OutputChecker
- DocFileSuite
- DebugRunner, DocTestFailure, UnexpectedException
- register_optionflag()
- Minor wording changes
- Changed the docs to reflect the fact that multiple option directives
can be specified on a single line (and updated the directive
production list, as well).
Renamed the new generator at Trevor's recommendation.
The name HardwareRandom suggested a bit more than it
delivered (no radioactive decay detectors or such).
