[Python-Dev] Whats New in 3.4 is pretty much done... (original) (raw)

Well, I think What's New for 3.4 is done. I've been through all of the NEWS items from the start of 3.4 through the beta1 release. I've gone over the list of changes Serhiy found via the versionadded/versionchanged in the docs. (Since he marked some that didn't turn out to be 3.4 changes, I assume he was over-inclusive rather than under-inclusive and am not going to re-run that particular check myself...thanks Serhiy for doing it!).

In addition to the items in Serhiy's list that didn't have news entries, there were a couple of features that were added after Beta1. So there might be some other features with missing versionadded/changed tags in the NEWS sections I didn't go through, but I hope not. Slightly more worrisome is the possibility that I'm missing porting notes from the beta/rc phases. But, I'm pretty much out of time for this project since Final is almost upon us. I'll be making at least one more copy-edit pass over the document, and may reformat some stuff, but the content is pretty much set at this point.

If anyone knows of anything that is missing, please let me know about it.

I track my time as a habit, so for the curious I can tell you with a fair degree of accuracy how long this little project took: about 73 hours total, starting on 12/20 last year. Let me tell you, it felt even longer than that :)
