+ What's New in Python 2.2 final?
+ ===============================
+ 
+ *Release date: 21-Dec-2001*
+ 
+ Type/class unification and new-style classes
+ --------------------------------------------
[...1404 lines suppressed...]
+ Tests
+ -----
+ 
+ - New test_mutants.py runs dict comparisons where the key and value
+   comparison operators mutate the dicts randomly during comparison.  This
+   rapidly causes Python to crash under earlier releases (not for the faint
+   of heart:  it can also cause Win9x to freeze or reboot!).
+ 
+ - New test_pprint.py verifies that pprint.isrecursive() and
+   pprint.isreadable() return sensible results.  Also verifies that simple
+   cases produce correct output.
+ 
+ C API
+ -----
+ 
+ - Removed the unused last_is_sticky argument from the internal
+   _PyTuple_Resize().  If this affects you, you were cheating.
