+ Release Mechanics
+
+ I'd like to experiment with a new mechanism for releases: a week
+ before every alpha, beta or other release, I'll fork off a branch
+ which will become the release; changes to the branch will have to
+ be approved before they can be checked in. This is how some other
+ large projects (e.g. Mozilla) work, and I hope it will help reduce
+ the number of bugs introduced in releases at the last minute.
+
+
+ Planned features for 2.2
+
+ The following features are already checked in on the head revision
+ (for a more detailed account, see Misc/NEWS):
+
+ - iterators (pep-0234)
+
+ The following features are scheduled to go in; work is still
+ ongoing in defining the exact appearance of the features:
+
+ - generators (pep-0255)
+ - unification of types and classes (pep-0252, pep-0253, pep-0254)
! The following features are under consideration:
! - a standard set API (implemented in Python for now) (pep-0218)
! - a 'directive' statement (pep-0244)
! - unifying long ints and plain ints (pep-0237)
! There needs to be more discussion of each of these before we can
! decide.
