+- Patch #1739468: Directories and zipfiles containing a __main__.py file can
+  now be directly executed by passing their name to the interpreter. The

 - Issue #1265: Fix a problem with sys.settrace, if the tracing function uses a
   generator expression when at the same time the executed code is closing a
