  -----------------
  
+ - Added a collections module containing a new datatype, deque(),
+   offering high-performance, thread-safe, memory friendly appends
+   and pops on either side of the deque.
+ 
+ - Several modules now take advantage of collections.deque() for
+   improved performance:  Queue, mutex, shlex, threading, and pydoc.
+ 
  - The operator module has two new functions, attrgetter() and
    itemgetter() which are useful for creating fast data extractor
