+ - isinstance(x, X): if X is a new-style class, this is now equivalent
+   to issubclass(type(x), X) or issubclass(x.__class__, X).  Previously
+   only type(x) was tested.  (For classic classes this was already the
+   case.)
+ 
  - compile(), eval() and the exec statement now fully support source code
    passed as unicode strings.
