+ the compressed output from the \module{zlib} module, meaning that it
+ compresses data more highly. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)

- \item The DOM implementation
- in \module{xml.dom.minidom} can now generate XML output in a
- particular encoding by providing an optional encoding argument to
- the \method{toxml()} and \method{toprettyxml()} methods of DOM nodes.
- 
 item The \module{Tix} module has received various bug fixes and
 updates for the current version of the Tix package.

 Any breakage caused by this change should be reported as a bug.

 \item Support for internationalized domain names (RFCs 3454, 3490,
 3491, and 3492) has been added. The ``idna'' encoding can be used
 to convert between a Unicode domain name and the ASCII-compatible
! encoding (ACE).

! In addition, the \module{socket} has been extended to transparently
! convert Unicode hostnames to the ACE before passing them to the C
! library. In turn, modules that pass hostnames ``through'' (such as
! \module{httplib}, \module{ftplib}) also support Unicode host names
! (httplib also sends ACE Host: headers). \module{urllib} supports
! Unicode URLs with non-ASCII host names as long as the \code{path} part
! of the URL is ASCII only.

 To implement this change, the module \module{stringprep}, the tool
! \code{mkstringprep} and the \code{punycode} encoding have been added.
