This is a release candidate for MacPython 2.2, please report any problems as
soon as possible, by email to pythonmac-sig@python.org.

onwards) and natively on MacOSX. The installer tries to work out whether you can
use the Carbon version or not.

does not run from the command line, it is a pure "Mac only" app. Use the standard
unix Python from the commandline, the two Pythons will be merged in the future.

Also, all toolbox modules have been updated to Universal Headers 3.4, and
are (for classic PPC) weak-linked against InterfaceLib so that they should
work on all systems back to MacOS 8.1. Calling an unimplemented function will
raise an exception, not crash your interpreter.

- All toolbox modules have been updated to Universal Headers 3.4. [2.2c1]
- Toolbox modules are weaklinked against InterfaceLib (for PPC builds) and raise
an exception when you call an unimplemented one on an old MacOS. [2.2c1]
- On input MacPython now accepts either \n (unix style) or \r (mac style) newlines
for text files. This behaviour can be turned off with a preference.
This is an experimental feature; again: feedback is requested.
- The IDE looks better on OS X, but still not as good as on OS9. [2.2c1]
- Command-dot handling has been improved a lot: scripts are now much easier to interrupt,
and they only scan for cmd-. while in the foreground. [2.2b2]
- "Copy" from the MacPython console window was always disabled. Fixed. [2.2b2]
- This release should run on MacOS 8.1 again. [2.2b2 build 116]
- A new, rather different GUSI I/O library is used. Please report any strange behaviour
with I/O to the pythonmac-sig mailing list! [2.2b2]

- This release should run on MacOS 8.1 again.
- A new, rather different GUSI I/O library is used.
- time.time() returns positive values again. [2.2c1]
- There is a new module macresource which makes it easier to open a resource file
accompanying your script when the script is not (yet) converted to an applet.
This module will later also do the right thing in Mach-O/OSX Python.
- (Carbon only) experimental modules Carbon.CG (CoreGraphics) and CarbonEvt have
been added. [2.2c1]
- A new, experimental module hfsplus is included, which gives access to some of the
functionality of the HFS+ API. [2.2b2]

They now get 64K. There is still no overflow check, though.
- Garbage collection and the gc module have (finally) been enabled.

- Stackless Python/microthreads hasn't been ported to 2.2 yet. If/when it becomes available
