All the changes in Python 2.7.6 are described in full detail in the Misc/NEWS file of the source tarball. You can also view online at

http://hg.python.org/cpython/raw-file/99d03261c1ba/Misc/NEWS - Issue #18747: Re-seed OpenSSL's pseudo-random number generator after fork. A pthreadatfork() parent handler is used to seed the PRNG with pid, time and some stack data. Is this changeset in Python 2.7.6 or not?

It was backed out, but evidently the news entry wasn't removed.

-- Regards, Benjamin
