-issue2005:
-ignore errors on closing random file handles while importing a module (cpython compatibility)
 
-issue2013:
-added constants to _ssl for TLS 1.1 and 1.2
-
-issue2014:
-Add PyLong_FromUnicode to cpyext.
-
-issue2017: 
-On non-Linux-x86 platforms, reduced the memory impact of
-creating a lot of greenlets/tasklets.  Particularly useful on Win32 and
-on ARM, where you used to get a MemoryError after only 2500-5000
-greenlets (the 32-bit address space is exhausted).
-
-Update gdb_pypy for python3 (gdb comatability)
-
-Merged rstrategies into rpython which provides a library for Storage Strategies
-
-Support unicode strings in numpy.dtype creation i.e. np.dtype(u'int64')
-
-Various rpython cleanups for vmprof support
-
-issue2019:
-Fix isspace as called by rpython unicode.strip()
-
-issue2023:
-In the cpyext 'Concrete Object Layer' API,
-don't call methods on the object (which can be overriden),
-but directly on the concrete base type.
-
-issue2029:
-Hide the default_factory attribute in a dict
-
-issue2027:
-Better document pyinteractive and add --withmod-time
-
-.. branch: gc-incminimark-pinning-improve
-
-branch gc-incminimark-pinning-improve: 
-Object Pinning is now used in `bz2` and `rzlib` (therefore also affects
-Python's `zlib`). In case the data to compress/decompress is inside the nursery
-(incminimark) it no longer needs to create a non-moving copy of it. This saves
-one `malloc` and copying the data.  Additionally a new GC environment variable
-is introduced (`PYPY_GC_MAX_PINNED`) primarily for debugging purposes.
-
-.. branch: refactor-pycall
-
-branch refactor-pycall:
-Make `*`-unpacking in RPython function calls completely equivalent to passing
-the tuple's elements as arguments. In other words, `f(*(a, b))` now behaves 
-exactly like `f(a, b)`.
-
-.. branch: issue2018
-
-branch issue2018:
-Allow prebuilt rpython dict with function values
-
-.. branch: vmprof
-.. Merged but then backed out, hopefully it will return as vmprof2
-
-.. branch: object-dtype2
-
-branch object-dtype2:
-Extend numpy dtypes to allow using objects with associated garbage collection hook
-
-.. branch: vmprof2
-
-branch vmprof2:
-Add backend support for vmprof - a lightweight statistical profiler -
-to linux64, see client at https://vmprof.readthedocs.org
-
-.. branch: jit_hint_docs
-
-branch jit_hint_docs:
-Add more detail to @jit.elidable and @jit.promote in rpython/rlib/jit.py
-
-.. branch: remove-frame-debug-attrs
-
-branch remove_frame-debug-attrs:
-Remove the debug attributes from frames only used for tracing and replace
-them with a debug object that is created on-demand
-
-.. branch: can_cast
-
-branch can_cast:
-Implement np.can_cast, np.min_scalar_type and missing dtype comparison operations.
-
-.. branch: numpy-fixes
-
-branch numpy-fixes:
-Fix some error related to object dtype, non-contiguous arrays, inplement parts of 
-__array_interface__, __array_priority__, __array_wrap__
-
-.. branch: cells-local-stack
-
-branch cells-local-stack:
-Unify the PyFrame.cells and Pyframe.locals_stack_w lists, making frame objects
-1 or 3 words smaller.
-
-.. branch: pythonoptimize-env
-
-branch pythonoptimize-env
-Implement PYTHONOPTIMIZE environment variable, fixing issue #2044
-
-.. branch: numpy-flags
-
-branch numpy-flags
-Finish implementation of ndarray.flags, including str() and repr()
-
-.. branch: cffi-1.0
-
-branch cffi-1.0
-PyPy now includes CFFI 1.0.
-
-.. branch: pypyw
-
-branch pypyw
-PyPy on windows provides a non-console pypyw.exe as well as pypy.exe.
-Similar to pythonw.exe, any use of stdout, stderr without redirection
-will crash.
