  - Improved I/O response by tweaking the wait parameter in various
    calls to signal.signal().
  
  - Implemented a threaded subprocess which allows interrupting a pass 
!   loop in user code using the 'interrupt' extension.
  
  - Implemented the 'interrupt' extension module, which allows a subthread

+ - Improve the error message a user gets when saving a file with non-ASCII
+   characters and no source encoding is specified.  Done by adding a dialog
+   'EncodingMessage', which contains the line to add in a fixed-font entry
+   widget, and which has a button to add that line to the file automatically.
+   Also, add a configuration option 'EditorWindow/encoding', which has three
+   possible values: none, utf-8, and locale. None is the default: IDLE will show
+   this dialog when non-ASCII characters are encountered. utf-8 means that files
+   with non-ASCII characters are saved as utf-8-with-bom. locale means that
+   files are saved in the locale's encoding; the dialog is only displayed if the
+   source contains characters outside the locale's charset.  SF 710733 - Loewis
