[issue25986] Collections.deque maxlen: added in 2.6 or 2.7?

[Terry J. Reedy]

New submission from Terry J. Reedy:

https://docs.python.org/2.6/library/collections.html#collections.deque has this line "Changed in version 2.6: Added maxlen parameter."

https://docs.python.org/2.7/library/collections.html#collections.deque kept the sentence above and added this entry after the list of methods.

Deque objects also provide one read-only attribute:
maxlen
    Maximum size of a deque or None if unbounded.
    New in version 2.7.

Which is it?
