 some open questions and join the discussions on pythonmac-sig if you have anything
 to contribute. Aside from reducing clutter this change will also benefit the
! port to Mach-O/OSX Python later. [2.2a3]
 - 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. [2.2a3]
 - 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. [2.2a3]
 - Threads had a stack that was too small for many serious Python applications (20K).
! They now get 64K. There is still no overflow check, though. [2.2a3]
! - Garbage collection and the gc module have (finally) been enabled. [2.2a3]
 - EasyDialogs.ProgressBar now has indeterminate progressbars if you specify maxval=0.
! This is also the new default. Patch supplied by Dean Draayer. [2.2a3]
 - There are new preferences for enabling old-style division warnings and for
 accepting unix-style newlines in text input files. These can also be set during
! startup, and in addition you can select very verbose import tracing. [2.2a3]
! - Various outdated scripts have been moved to :Mac:Unsupported. [2.2a3]
! - Various outdated items from :Mac:Lib:test have been removed. [2.2a3]
 - C Developers: you know have control over the Python console if you are embedding
 MacPython in another application, thanks to Alexandre Parenteau. :Mac:Demo:embed.html

! - 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]
! - 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]
 - 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.
! - A new, experimental module hfsplus is included, which gives access to some of the
! functionality of the HFS+ API. [2.2b2]

! startup, and in addition you can select very verbose import tracing.
! - The NavServices override for StandardFile has moved from early startup to the
! time you import macfs. This speeds up MacPython startup.
! - Various outdated scripts have been moved to :Mac:Unsupported.
! - Various outdated items from :Mac:Lib:test have been removed.

! - MacPython 2.2a3 (and MacPython 2.1) will not run correctly on a multiprocessor MacOS X
 machine, it will quickly deadlock during I/O operations. The GUSI I/O library is suspected,
 hints/clues/workarounds are solicited.

 - Aliases may not work in sys.path entries.
- - Under Carbon on OS9 only you may occasionally see a spurious KeyboardInterrupt. I have absolutely
- no clue as to what is causing this.
 - PythonInterpreter used interactively will eat a lot of processor cycles. You should use
 PythonIDE for interactive work and PythonInterpreter for scripts only. This is especially
