-- getpass.getpass() now works when sys.stdin is not a tty by printing a warning
- and falling back to sys.stdin.readline instead of raising termios.error.
+- The getpass module has been improved on Unix. It now uses /dev/tty
+ by default and uses stderr instead of stdout. A GetPassWarning is
+ issued when input echo cannot be controlled.
