  Core
  
+ - In 2.2a3, hash() applied to an instance of a subclass of str or unicode
+   always returned 0.  This has been repaired.
+ 
+ - In 2.2a3, an operation on an instance of a subclass of an immutable type
+   (int, long, float, complex, tuple, str, unicode), where the subtype
+   didn't override the operation (and so the operation was handled by the
+   builtin type), could return that instance instead a value of the base
+   type.  For example, if s was of a str sublass type, s[:] returned s
+   as-is.  Now it returns a str with the same value as s.
