! What's New in Python 2.2.3 ?
  Release date: XX-XXX-2003
! ============================
  
! - Bastion.py and rexec.py are disabled.  These modules are not safe in
!   Python 2.2. or 2.3.
! 
! - SF #660476 and #513033: broken threadstate swap in readline could
!   cause fatal errors when a readline hook was being invoked while a
!   background thread was active.
! 
! - SF #623669: a class that inherits __rdiv__ (or another __r*__
!   operator) could end up with infinite recursion.
! 
! - Fixed sundry memory leaks.
! 
! - Correct long standing bugs in the methods for random distributions.
!   The range of u=random() is [0,1), so log(u) and 1/x can fail.  Fix
!   by setting u=1-random() or by reselecting for a usable value.
! 
! - SF #659709: bogus float length computation during string formatting.
! 
! - Deleted the __del__ method on socket wrappers; it's not needed and
!   prevents GC to work.
! 
! - Exceptions raised by __cmp__ weren't always properly handled and
!   could cause "exception set without error return" failures.
! 
! - SF #643260: __rpow__ wasn't being called.
! 
! - SF #534748, #645383: in setup.py, when modules fail to import, don't
!   just delete them.
! 
! - SF #529750: _Py_ResetReferences() is now a no-op.
! 
! - SF #505427: build problem on HP-UX (h_errno not defined).
! 
! - SF #564729: make FixTk.py search properly for Tix subdirectories.
! 
! - Made string.strip() work as documented.
! 
! - Implemented some additional restrictions on __class__ assignment.
! 
! - SF #630824: added keyword 'yield' to pydoc.py.
! 
! - SF #626172: fix crash using Unicode Latin-1 single character.
! 
! - SF #570655: fix misleading option text in distutils rpm creation.
! 
! - SF #624982: fix potential segfault in slot_sq_item.
! 
! - New codec for Ukrainian Cyrillic.
