    been renamed to dict.  This reflects a decade of common usage.
  
+ - dict() now accepts an iterable object producing 2-sequences.  For
+   example, dict(d.items()) == d for any dictionary d.  The argument,
+   and the elements of the argument, can be any iterable objects.
+ 
  - New-style classes can now have a __del__ method, which is called
    when the instance is deleted (just like for classic classes).
