* SSL support is back! However, the SSL code appears to be leaking * The AMD64 Windows installer doesn't contain Tcl/Tk, and hence IDLE
quite a bit. won't work. This is because Tcl doesn't compile at all on this
platform.
* On Windows Python can't be run from a directory with non ASCII chars * The 32bit build for the Win32/x86 platform is optimized with PGO
in its path name (bug #1342). (profile guided optimization). Please read Microsoft's docs for
`PGO

if you are interested in details. Preliminary benchmarks have shown
a speedup of about 10% in PyBench. Real world applications may gain
more or less speedup.
* The current releases of MinGW and Cygwin can't build Python extensions * The Tools directory contains a copy of the 2to3 conversion tool.
since they don't support msvcr90.dll. The necessary bits and pieces are Note that 2to3 itself must be run with Python 2.5!
already in Python and cygwin cvs.
* SSL support is back! However, while the tests pass, the SSL code

* On Windows, the module doc server (pydocgui.pyw) is crashing.
* On Windows, the menus in IDLE are broken.
* The current releases of Cygwin and MinGW can't create extensions for
the official Python 3.0 binary. The necessary modifications to
Cygwin are already in its CVS. Look out for a new Cygwin release!
* Otherwise, the 3.0a1 release notes below still apply, except hashlib
no longer requires openssl, and IDLE now seems fine (except on Windows).
