In http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2012-March/117348.html Georg Brandl <georg at python.org>  posted: Python 3.3 includes a range of improvements of the 3.x series, as well as easier porting between 2.x and 3.x.  Major new features in the 3.3 release series are: As much as it is nice to just celebrate improvements, I think readers (particularly on the download page http://www.python.org/download/releases/3.3.0/  ) would be better served if there were an additional point about porting and the hash changes. http://docs.python.org/dev/whatsnew/3.3.html#porting-to-python-3-3 also failed to mention this, and even the changelog didn't seem to warn people about failing tests or tell them how to work around it. Perhaps something like: Hash Randomization (issue 13703) is now on by default.  Unfortunately, this does break some tests; it can be temporarily turned off by setting the environment variable PYTHONHASHSEED to "0" before launching python. -jJ -- If there are still threading problems with my replies, please email me with details, so that I can try to resolve them.  -jJ

That's why I once proposed to include whatsnew.rst changes every time a new feature is added/committed. Assigning that effort to the release manager or whoever is supposed to take care of this, is both impractical and prone to forgetfulness.
