[New-bugs-announce] [issue3867] What's New in 2.6 doesn't mention stricter object.__init__

[Andrew Bennetts]

New submission from Andrew Bennetts <spiv at users.sourceforge.net>:

http://bugs.python.org/issue1683368 changed object.__init__ so that
rejects args/kwargs.  This change should be mentioned in the "What's New
in Python 2.6" document, probably under the "Porting to Python 2.6" heading.

(I noticed this because the stricter object.__init__ has made Python
2.6rc1 (and probably earlier) incompatible with Bazaar, which in one or
two places happened to depend on the pre-2.6 behaviour.)
