+.. _whats-old:
+
+Changes in previous versions
+****************************
+
+Changes in the most recent major version are here: :ref:`whats-new`.
+
+.. _whats-new-0.14.x:
+
+Changes in version 0.14.3 (2014-12-15)
+======================================
+
+This is a bug-fix release:
+
+- Expose contents of ``thread`` (not ``dummy_thread``) as ``_thread`` on Py2 (Issue #124)
+- Add signed support for ``newint.to_bytes()`` (Issue #128)
+- Fix ``OrderedDict.clear()`` on Py2.6 (Issue #125)
+- Improve ``newrange``: equality and slicing, start/stop/step properties, refactoring (Issues #129, #130)
+- Minor doc updates
+
+Changes in version 0.14.2 (2014-11-21)
+======================================
+
+This is a bug-fix release:
+
+- Speed up importing of ``past.translation`` (Issue #117)
+- ``html.escape()``: replace function with the more robust one from Py3.4
+- ``futurize``: avoid displacing encoding comments by ``__future__`` imports (Issues #97, #10, #121)
+- ``futurize``: don't swallow exit code (Issue #119)
+- Packaging: don't forcibly remove the old build dir in ``setup.py`` (Issue #108)
+- Docs: update further docs and tests to refer to ``install_aliases()`` instead of
+ ``install_hooks()``
+- Docs: fix ``iteritems`` import error in cheat sheet (Issue #120)
+- Tests: don't rely on presence of ``test.test_support`` on Py2 or ``test.support`` on Py3 (Issue #109)
+- Tests: don't override existing ``PYTHONPATH`` for tests (PR #111)
+
+Changes in version 0.14.1 (2014-10-02)
+======================================
+
+This is a minor bug-fix release:
+
+- Docs: add a missing template file for building docs (Issue #108)
+- Tests: fix a bug in error handling while reporting failed script runs (Issue #109)
+- ``install_aliases()``: don't assume that the ``test.test_support`` module always
+ exists on Py2 (Issue #109)
+
+
+Changes in version 0.14.0 (2014-10-02)
+======================================
+
+This is a major new release that offers a cleaner interface for most imports in
+Python 2/3 compatible code.
+
+Instead of this interface::
+
+ >>> from future.builtins import str, open, range, dict
+
+ >>> from future.standard_library import hooks
+ >>> with hooks():
+ ... import queue
+ ... import configparser
+ ... import tkinter.dialog
+ ... # etc.
+
+You can now use the following interface for much Python 2/3 compatible code::
+
+ >>> # Alias for future.builtins on Py2:
+ >>> from builtins import str, open, range, dict
+
+ >>> # Alias for future.moves.* on Py2:
+ >>> import queue
+ >>> import configparser
+ >>> import tkinter.dialog
+ >>> etc.
+
+Notice that the above code will run on Python 3 even without the presence of the
+``future`` package. Of the 44 standard library modules that were refactored with
+PEP 3108, 30 are supported with direct imports in this manner. (These are listed
+here: :ref:`direct-imports`.)
+
+The other 14 standard library modules that kept the same top-level names in
+Py3.x are not supported with this direct import interface on Py2. These include
+the 5 modules in the Py3 ``urllib`` package. These modules are accessible through
+the following interface (as well as the interfaces offered in previous versions
+of ``python-future``)::
+
+ from future.standard_library import install_aliases
+ install_aliases()
+
+ from collections import UserDict, UserList, UserString
+ import dbm.gnu
+ from itertools import filterfalse, zip_longest
+ from subprocess import getoutput, getstatusoutput
+ from sys import intern
+ import test.support
+ from urllib.request import urlopen
+ from urllib.parse import urlparse
+ # etc.
+ from collections import Counter, OrderedDict # backported to Py2.6
+
+The complete list of packages supported with this interface is here:
+:ref:`list-standard-library-refactored`.
+
+For more information on these and other interfaces to the standard library, see
+:ref:`standard-library-imports`.
+
+Bug fixes
+---------
+
+- This release expands the ``future.moves`` package to include most of the remaining
+ modules that were moved in the standard library reorganization (PEP 3108).
+ (Issue #104)
+
+- This release also removes the broken ``--doctests_only`` option from the ``futurize``
+ and ``pasteurize`` scripts for now. (Issue #103)
+
+Internal cleanups
+-----------------
+
+The project folder structure has changed. Top-level packages are now in a
+``src`` folder and the tests have been moved into a project-level ``tests``
+folder.
+
+The following deprecated internal modules have been removed (Issue #80):
+
+- ``future.utils.encoding`` and ``future.utils.six``.
+
+Deprecations
+------------
+
+The following internal functions have been deprecated and will be removed in a future release:
+
+- ``future.standard_library.scrub_py2_sys_modules``
+- ``future.standard_library.scrub_future_sys_modules``
+
+
+.. _whats-new-0.13.x:
+
+Changes in version 0.13.1 (2014-09-23)
+======================================
+
+This is a bug-fix release:
+
+- Fix (multiple) inheritance of ``future.builtins.object`` with metaclasses (Issues #91, #96)
+- Fix ``futurize``'s refactoring of ``urllib`` imports (Issue #94)
+- Fix ``futurize --all-imports`` (Issue #101)
+- Fix ``futurize --output-dir`` logging (Issue #102)
+- Doc formatting fix (Issues #98, #100)
+
+
+Changes in version 0.13.0 (2014-08-13)
+======================================
+
+This is mostly a clean-up release. It adds some small new compatibility features
+and fixes several bugs.
+
+Deprecations
+------------
+
+The following unused internal modules are now deprecated. They will be removed in a
+future release:
+
+- ``future.utils.encoding`` and ``future.utils.six``.
+
+(Issue #80). See `here <http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:No_Bundled_Libraries>`_
+for the rationale for unbundling them.
+
+
+New features
+------------
+
+- Docs: Add :ref:`compatible-idioms` from Ed Schofield's PyConAU 2014 talk.
+- Add ``newint.to_bytes()`` and ``newint.from_bytes()``. (Issue #85)
+- Add ``future.utils.raise_from`` as an equivalent to Py3's ``raise ... from
+ ...`` syntax. (Issue #86)
+- Add ``past.builtins.oct()`` function.
+- Add backports for Python 2.6 of ``subprocess.check_output()``,
+ ``itertools.combinations_with_replacement()``, and ``functools.cmp_to_key()``.
+
+Bug fixes
+---------
+
+- Use a private logger instead of the global logger in
+ ``future.standard_library`` (Issue #82). This restores compatibility of the
+ standard library hooks with ``flask``. (Issue #79)
+- Stage 1 of ``futurize`` no longer renames ``next`` methods to ``__next__``
+ (Issue #81). It still converts ``obj.next()`` method calls to
+ ``next(obj)`` correctly.
+- Prevent introduction of a second set of parentheses in ``print()`` calls in
+ some further cases.
+- Fix ``isinstance`` checks for subclasses of future types. (Issue #89)
+- Be explicit about encoding file contents as UTF-8 in unit tests. (Issue #63)
+ Useful for building RPMs and in other environments where ``LANG=C``.
+- Fix for 3-argument ``pow(x, y, z)`` with ``newint`` arguments. (Thanks to @str4d.)
+ (Issue #87)
+
+
+.. _whats-new-0.12.4:
+
+Changes in version 0.12.4 (2014-07-18)
+======================================
+
+- Fix upcasting behaviour of ``newint``. (Issue #76)
+
+
+.. _whats-new-0.12.3:
+
+Changes in version 0.12.3 (2014-06-19)
+======================================
+
+- Add "official Python 3.4 support": Py3.4 is now listed among the PyPI Trove
+ classifiers and the tests now run successfully on Py3.4. (Issue #67)
+
+- Add backports of ``collections.OrderedDict`` and
+ ``collections.Counter`` for Python 2.6. (Issue #52)
+
+- Add ``--version`` option for ``futurize`` and ``pasteurize`` scripts.
+ (Issue #57)
+
+- Fix ``future.utils.ensure_new_type`` with ``long`` input. (Issue #65)
+
+- Remove some false alarms on checks for ambiguous fixer names with
+ ``futurize -f ...``.
+
+- Testing fixes:
+ - Don't hard-code Python interpreter command in tests. (Issue #62)
+ - Fix deprecated ``unittest`` usage in Py3. (Issue #62)
+ - Be explicit about encoding temporary file contents as UTF-8 for
+ when ``LANG=C`` (e.g., when building an RPM). (Issue #63)
+ - All undecorated tests are now passing again on Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.3,
+ and 3.4 (thanks to Elliott Sales de Andrade).
+
+- Docs:
+ - Add list of fixers used by ``futurize``. (Issue #58)
+ - Add list of contributors to the Credits page.
+
+.. _whats-new-0.12.2:
+
+Changes in version 0.12.2 (2014-05-25)
+======================================
+
+- Add ``bytes.maketrans()`` method. (Issue #51)
+- Add support for Python versions between 2.7.0 and 2.7.3 (inclusive).
+ (Issue #53)
+- Bug fix for ``newlist(newlist([1, 2, 3]))``. (Issue #50)
+
+
+.. _whats-new-0.12.1:
+
+Changes in version 0.12.1 (2014-05-14)
+======================================
+
+- Python 2.6 support: ``future.standard_library`` now isolates the ``importlib``
+ dependency to one function (``import_``) so the ``importlib`` backport may
+ not be needed.
+
+- Doc updates
+
+
+.. _whats-new-0.12:
+
+Changes in version 0.12.0 (2014-05-06)
+======================================
+
+The major new feature in this version is improvements in the support for the
+reorganized standard library (PEP 3108) and compatibility of the import
+mechanism with 3rd-party modules.
+
+More robust standard-library import hooks
+-----------------------------------------
+
+**Note: backwards-incompatible change:** As previously announced (see
+:ref:`deprecated-auto-import-hooks`), the import hooks must now be enabled
+explicitly, as follows::
+
+ from future import standard_library
+ with standard_library.hooks():
+ import html.parser
+ import http.client
+ ...
+
+This now causes these modules to be imported from ``future.moves``, a new
+package that provides wrappers over the native Python 2 standard library with
+the new Python 3 organization. As a consequence, the import hooks provided in
+``future.standard_library`` are now fully compatible with the `Requests library
+<http://python-requests.org>`_.
+
+The functional interface with ``install_hooks()`` is still supported for
+backwards compatibility::
+
+ from future import standard_library
+ standard_library.install_hooks():
+
+ import html.parser
+ import http.client
+ ...
+ standard_library.remove_hooks()
+
+Explicit installation of import hooks allows finer-grained control
+over whether they are enabled for other imported modules that provide their own
+Python 2/3 compatibility layer. This also improves compatibility of ``future``
+with tools like ``py2exe``.
+
+
+``newobject`` base object defines fallback Py2-compatible special methods
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+There is a new ``future.types.newobject`` base class (available as
+``future.builtins.object``) that can streamline Py2/3 compatible code by
+providing fallback Py2-compatible special methods for its subclasses. It
+currently provides ``next()`` and ``__nonzero__()`` as fallback methods on Py2
+when its subclasses define the corresponding Py3-style ``__next__()`` and
+``__bool__()`` methods.
+
+This obviates the need to add certain compatibility hacks or decorators to the
+code such as the ``@implements_iterator`` decorator for classes that define a
+Py3-style ``__next__`` method.
+
+In this example, the code defines a Py3-style iterator with a ``__next__``
+method. The ``object`` class defines a ``next`` method for Python 2 that maps
+to ``__next__``::
+
+ from future.builtins import object
+
+ class Upper(object):
+ def __init__(self, iterable):
+ self._iter = iter(iterable)
+ def __next__(self): # note the Py3 interface
+ return next(self._iter).upper()
+ def __iter__(self):
+ return self
+
+ assert list(Upper('hello')) == list('HELLO')
+
+``newobject`` defines other Py2-compatible special methods similarly:
+currently these include ``__nonzero__`` (mapped to ``__bool__``) and
+``__long__`` (mapped to ``__int__``).
+
+Inheriting from ``newobject`` on Python 2 is safe even if your class defines
+its own Python 2-style ``__nonzero__`` and ``next`` and ``__long__`` methods.
+Your custom methods will simply override those on the base class.
+
+On Python 3, as usual, ``future.builtins.object`` simply refers to ``builtins.object``.
+
+
+``past.builtins`` module improved
+---------------------------------
+
+The ``past.builtins`` module is much more compatible with the corresponding
+builtins on Python 2; many more of the Py2 unit tests pass on Py3. For example,
+functions like ``map()`` and ``filter()`` now behave as they do on Py2 with with
+``None`` as the first argument.
+
+The ``past.builtins`` module has also been extended to add Py3 support for
+additional Py2 constructs that are not adequately handled by ``lib2to3`` (see
+Issue #37). This includes new ``execfile()`` and ``cmp()`` functions.
+``futurize`` now invokes imports of these functions from ``past.builtins``.
+
+
+``surrogateescape`` error handler
+---------------------------------
+
+The ``newstr`` type (``future.builtins.str``) now supports a backport of the
+Py3.x ``'surrogateescape'`` error handler for preserving high-bit
+characters when encoding and decoding strings with unknown encodings.
+
+
+``newlist`` type
+----------------
+
+There is a new ``list`` type in ``future.builtins`` that offers ``.copy()`` and
+``.clear()`` methods like the ``list`` type in Python 3.
+
+
+``listvalues`` and ``listitems``
+--------------------------------
+
+``future.utils`` now contains helper functions ``listvalues`` and
+``listitems``, which provide Python 2-style list snapshotting semantics for
+dictionaries in both Python 2 and Python 3.
+
+These came out of the discussion around Nick Coghlan's now-withdrawn PEP 469.
+
+There is no corresponding ``listkeys(d)`` function; use ``list(d)`` instead.
+
+
+Tests
+-----
+
+The number of unit tests has increased from 600 to over 800. Most of the new
+tests come from Python 3.3's test suite.
+
+
+Refactoring of ``future.standard_library.*`` -> ``future.backports``
+--------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+The backported standard library modules have been moved to ``future.backports``
+to make the distinction clearer between these and the new ``future.moves``
+package.
+
+
+Backported ``http.server`` and ``urllib`` modules
+-------------------------------------------------
+
+Alpha versions of backports of the ``http.server`` and ``urllib`` module from
+Python 3.3's standard library are now provided in ``future.backports``.
+
+Use them like this::
+
+ from future.backports.urllib.request import Request # etc.
+ from future.backports.http import server as http_server
+
+Or with this new interface::
+
+ from future.standard_library import import_, from_import
+
+ Request = from_import('urllib.request', 'Request', backport=True)
+ http = import_('http.server', backport=True)
+
+.. from future.standard_library.email import message_from_bytes # etc.
+.. from future.standard_library.xmlrpc import client, server
+
+
+Internal refactoring
+--------------------
+
+The ``future.builtins.types`` module has been moved to ``future.types``.
+Likewise, ``past.builtins.types`` has been moved to ``past.types``. The only
+user-visible effect of this is to change ``repr(type(obj))`` for instances
+of these types. For example::
+
+ >>> from future.builtins import bytes
+ >>> bytes(b'abc')
+ >>> type(b)
+ future.types.newbytes.newbytes
+
+Instead of::
+
+ >>> type(b) # prior to v0.12
+ future.builtins.types.newbytes.newbytes
+
+
+Bug fixes
+---------
+
+Many small improvements and fixes have been made across the project. Some highlights are:
+
+- Fixes and updates from Python 3.3.5 have been included in the backported
+ standard library modules.
+
+- Scrubbing of the ``sys.modules`` cache performed by ``remove_hooks()`` (also
+ called by the ``suspend_hooks`` and ``hooks`` context managers) is now more
+ conservative.
+
+.. Is this still true?
+.. It now removes only modules with Py3 names (such as
+.. ``urllib.parse``) and not the corresponding ``future.standard_library.*``
+.. modules (such as ``future.standard_library.urllib.parse``.
+
+- The ``fix_next`` and ``fix_reduce`` fixers have been moved to stage 1 of
+ ``futurize``.
+
+- ``futurize``: Shebang lines such as ``#!/usr/bin/env python`` and source code
+ file encoding declarations like ``# -*- coding=utf-8 -*-`` are no longer occasionally
+ displaced by ``from __future__ import ...`` statements. (Issue #10)
+
+- Improved compatibility with ``py2exe`` (`Issue #31 <https://github.com/PythonCharmers/python-future/issues/31>`_).
+
+- The ``future.utils.bytes_to_native_str`` function now returns a platform-native string
+ object and ``future.utils.native_str_to_bytes`` returns a ``newbytes`` object on Py2.
+ (`Issue #47 <https://github.com/PythonCharmers/python-future/issues/47>`_).
+
+- The backported ``http.client`` module and related modules use other new
+ backported modules such as ``email``. As a result they are more compliant
+ with the Python 3.3 equivalents.
+
+
+.. _whats-new-0.11.4:
+
+Changes in version 0.11.4 (2014-05-25)
+======================================
+
+This release contains various small improvements and fixes:
+
+- This release restores Python 2.6 compatibility. (Issue #42)
+
+- The ``fix_absolute_import`` fixer now supports Cython ``.pyx`` modules. (Issue
+ #35)
+
+- Right-division with ``newint`` objects is fixed. (Issue #38)
+
+- The ``fix_dict`` fixer has been moved to stage2 of ``futurize``.
+
+- Calls to ``bytes(string, encoding[, errors])`` now work with ``encoding`` and
+ ``errors`` passed as positional arguments. Previously this only worked if
+ ``encoding`` and ``errors`` were passed as keyword arguments.
+
+
+- The 0-argument ``super()`` function now works from inside static methods such
+ as ``__new__``. (Issue #36)
+
+- ``future.utils.native(d)`` calls now work for ``future.builtins.dict`` objects.
+
+
+.. _whats-new-0.11.3:
+
+Changes in version 0.11.3 (2014-02-27)
+======================================
+
+This release has improvements in the standard library import hooks mechanism and
+its compatibility with 3rd-party modules:
+
+
+Improved compatibility with ``requests``
+----------------------------------------
+
+The ``__exit__`` function of the ``hooks`` context manager and the
+``remove_hooks`` function both now remove submodules of
+``future.standard_library`` from the ``sys.modules`` cache. Therefore this code
+is now possible on Python 2 and 3::
+
+ from future import standard_library
+ standard_library.install_hooks()
+ import http.client
+ standard_library.remove_hooks()
+ import requests
+
+ data = requests.get('http://www.google.com')
+
+
+Previously, this required manually removing ``http`` and ``http.client`` from
+``sys.modules`` before importing ``requests`` on Python 2.x. (Issue #19)
+
+This change should also improve the compatibility of the standard library hooks
+with any other module that provides its own Python 2/3 compatibility code.
+
+Note that the situation will improve further in version 0.12; import hooks will
+require an explicit function call or the ``hooks`` context manager.
+
+
+Conversion scripts explicitly install import hooks
+--------------------------------------------------
+
+The ``futurize`` and ``pasteurize`` scripts now add an explicit call to
+``install_hooks()`` to install the standard library import hooks. These scripts
+now add these two lines::
+
+ from future import standard_library
+ standard_library.install_hooks()
+
+instead of just the first one. The next major version of ``future`` (0.12) will
+require the explicit call or use of the ``hooks`` context manager. This will
+allow finer-grained control over whether import hooks are enabled for other
+imported modules, such as ``requests``, which provide their own Python 2/3
+compatibility code.
+
+
+``futurize`` script no longer adds ``unicode_literals`` by default
+------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+There is a new ``--unicode-literals`` flag to ``futurize`` that adds the
+import::
+
+ from __future__ import unicode_literals
+
+to the top of each converted module. Without this flag, ``futurize`` now no
+longer adds this import. (Issue #22)
+
+The ``pasteurize`` script for converting from Py3 to Py2/3 still adds
+``unicode_literals``. (See the comments in Issue #22 for an explanation.)
+
+
+.. _whats-new-0.11:
+
+Changes in version 0.11 (2014-01-28)
+====================================
+
+There are several major new features in version 0.11.
+
+
+``past`` package
+----------------
+
+The python-future project now provides a ``past`` package in addition to the
+``future`` package. Whereas ``future`` provides improved compatibility with
+Python 3 code to Python 2, ``past`` provides support for using and interacting
+with Python 2 code from Python 3. The structure reflects that of ``future``,
+with ``past.builtins`` and ``past.utils``. There is also a new
+``past.translation`` package that provides transparent translation of Python 2
+code to Python 3. (See below.)
+
+One purpose of ``past`` is to ease module-by-module upgrades to
+codebases from Python 2. Another is to help with enabling Python 2 libraries to
+support Python 3 without breaking the API they currently provide. (For example,
+user code may expect these libraries to pass them Python 2's 8-bit strings,
+rather than Python 3's ``bytes`` object.) A third purpose is to help migrate
+projects to Python 3 even if one or more dependencies are still on Python 2.
+
+Currently ``past.builtins`` provides forward-ports of Python 2's ``str`` and
+``dict`` objects, ``basestring``, and list-producing iterator functions. In
+later releases, ``past.builtins`` will be used internally by the
+``past.translation`` package to help with importing and using old Python 2
+modules in a Python 3 environment.
+
+
+Auto-translation of Python 2 modules upon import
+------------------------------------------------
+
+``past`` provides an experimental ``translation`` package to help
+with importing and using old Python 2 modules in a Python 3 environment.
+
+This is implemented using import hooks that attempt to automatically
+translate Python 2 modules to Python 3 syntax and semantics upon import. Use
+it like this::
+
+ $ pip3 install plotrique==0.2.5-7 --no-compile # to ignore SyntaxErrors
+ $ python3
+
+Then pass in a whitelist of module name prefixes to the
+``past.translation.autotranslate()`` function. Example::
+
+ >>> from past.translation import autotranslate
+ >>> autotranslate(['plotrique'])
+ >>> import plotrique
+
+
+This is intended to help you migrate to Python 3 without the need for all
+your code's dependencies to support Python 3 yet. It should be used as a
+last resort; ideally Python 2-only dependencies should be ported
+properly to a Python 2/3 compatible codebase using a tool like
+``futurize`` and the changes should be pushed to the upstream project.
+
+For more information, see :ref:`translation`.
+
+
+Separate ``pasteurize`` script
+------------------------------
+
+The functionality from ``futurize --from3`` is now in a separate script called
+``pasteurize``. Use ``pasteurize`` when converting from Python 3 code to Python
+2/3 compatible source. For more information, see :ref:`backwards-conversion`.
+
+
+``pow()``
+---------
+
+There is now a ``pow()`` function in ``future.builtins.misc`` that behaves like
+the Python 3 ``pow()`` function when raising a negative number to a fractional
+power (returning a complex number).
+
+
+``input()`` no longer disabled globally on Py2
+----------------------------------------------
+
+Previous versions of ``future`` deleted the ``input()`` function from
+``__builtin__`` on Python 2 as a security measure. This was because
+Python 2's ``input()`` function allows arbitrary code execution and could
+present a security vulnerability on Python 2 if someone expects Python 3
+semantics but forgets to import ``input`` from ``future.builtins``. This
+behaviour has been reverted, in the interests of broadening the
+compatibility of ``future`` with other Python 2 modules.
+
+Please remember to import ``input`` from ``future.builtins`` if you use
+``input()`` in a Python 2/3 compatible codebase.

+
+.. _deprecated-auto-import-hooks:
+
+Deprecated feature: auto-installation of standard-library import hooks
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Previous versions of ``python-future`` installed import hooks automatically upon
+importing the ``standard_library`` module from ``future``. This has been
+deprecated in order to improve robustness and compatibility with modules like
+``requests`` that already perform their own single-source Python 2/3
+compatibility.
+
+As of v0.12, importing ``future.standard_library``
+will no longer install import hooks by default. Instead, please install the
+import hooks explicitly as follows::
+
+ from future import standard_library
+ standard_library.install_hooks()
+
+And uninstall them after your import statements using::
+
+ standard_library.remove_hooks()
+
+*Note*: This is a backward-incompatible change.
+
+
+
+Internal changes
+----------------
+
+The internal ``future.builtins.backports`` module has been renamed to
+``future.builtins.types``. This will change the ``repr`` of ``future``
+types but not their use.
+
+
+.. _whats-new-0.10.2:
+
+Changes in version 0.10.2 (2014-01-11)
+======================================
+
+New context-manager interface to ``standard_library.hooks``
+-----------------------------------------------------------
+
+There is a new context manager ``future.standard_library.hooks``. Use it like
+this::
+
+ from future import standard_library
+ with standard_library.hooks():
+ import queue
+ import configserver
+ from http.client import HTTPConnection
+ # etc.
+
+If not using this context manager, it is now encouraged to add an explicit call to
+``standard_library.install_hooks()`` as follows::
+
+ from future import standard_library
+ standard_library.install_hooks()
+
+ import queue
+ import html
+ import http.client
+ # etc.
+
+And to remove the hooks afterwards with::
+
+ standard_library.remove_hooks()
+
+The functions ``install_hooks()`` and ``remove_hooks()`` were previously
+called ``enable_hooks()`` and ``disable_hooks()``. The old names are
+deprecated (but are still available as aliases).
+
+As usual, this feature has no effect on Python 3.
+
+
+.. _whats-new-0.10:
+
+Changes in version 0.10.0 (2013-12-02)
+======================================
+
+Backported ``dict`` type
+------------------------
+
+``future.builtins`` now provides a Python 2 ``dict`` subclass whose
+:func:`keys`, :func:`values`, and :func:`items` methods produce
+memory-efficient iterators. On Python 2.7, these also have the same set-like
+view behaviour as on Python 3. This can streamline code needing to iterate
+over large dictionaries. For example::
+
+ from __future__ import print_function
+ from future.builtins import dict, range
+
+ squares = dict({i: i**2 for i in range(10**7)})
+
+ assert not isinstance(d.items(), list)
+ # Because items() is memory-efficient, so is this:
+ square_roots = dict((i_squared, i) for (i, i_squared) in squares.items())
+
+For more information, see :ref:`dict-object`.
+
+
+Utility functions ``raise_`` and ``exec_``
+------------------------------------------
+
+The functions ``raise_with_traceback()`` and ``raise_()`` were
+added to ``future.utils`` to offer either the Python 3.x or Python 2.x
+behaviour for raising exceptions. Thanks to Joel Tratner for the
+contribution of these. ``future.utils.reraise()`` is now deprecated.
+
+A portable ``exec_()`` function has been added to ``future.utils`` from
+``six``.
+
+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+- Fixed ``newint.__divmod__``
+- Improved robustness of installing and removing import hooks in :mod:`future.standard_library`
+- v0.10.1: Fixed broken ``pip install future`` on Py3
+
+
+.. _whats-new-0.9:
+
+Changes in version 0.9 (2013-11-06)
+===================================
+
+
+``isinstance`` checks are supported natively with backported types
+------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+The ``isinstance`` function is no longer redefined in ``future.builtins``
+to operate with the backported ``int``, ``bytes`` and ``str``.
+``isinstance`` checks with the backported types now work correctly by
+default; we achieve this through overriding the ``__instancecheck__``
+method of metaclasses of the backported types.
+
+For more information, see :ref:`isinstance-calls`.
+
+
+``futurize``: minimal imports by default
+----------------------------------------
+
+By default, the ``futurize`` script now only adds the minimal set of
+imports deemed necessary.
+
+There is now an ``--all-imports`` option to the ``futurize`` script which
+gives the previous behaviour, which is to add all ``__future__`` imports
+and ``from future.builtins import *`` imports to every module. (This even
+applies to an empty ``__init__.py`` file.)
+
+
+Looser type-checking for the backported ``str`` object
+------------------------------------------------------
+
+Now the ``future.builtins.str`` object behaves more like the Python 2
+``unicode`` object with regard to type-checking. This is to work around some
+bugs / sloppiness in the Python 2 standard library involving mixing of
+byte-strings and unicode strings, such as ``os.path.join`` in ``posixpath.py``.
+
+``future.builtins.str`` still raises the expected ``TypeError`` exceptions from
+Python 3 when attempting to mix it with ``future.builtins.bytes``.
+
+
+``suspend_hooks()`` context manager added to ``future.standard_library``
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Pychecker (as of v0.6.1)'s ``checker.py`` attempts to import the ``builtins``
+module as a way of determining whether Python 3 is running. Since this
+succeeds when ``from future import standard_library`` is in effect, this
+check does not work and pychecker sets the wrong value for its internal ``PY2``
+flag is set.
+
+To work around this, ``future`` now provides a context manager called
+``suspend_hooks`` that can be used as follows::
+
+ from future import standard_library
+ ...
+ with standard_library.suspend_hooks():
+ from pychecker.checker import Checker
+
+
+.. _whats-new-0.8:
+
+Changes in version 0.8 (2013-10-28)
+===================================
+
+Python 2.6 support
+------------------
+
+``future`` now includes support for Python 2.6.
+
+To run the ``future`` test suite on Python 2.6, this additional package is needed::
+
+ pip install unittest2
+
+``http.server`` also requires the ``argparse`` package::
+
+ pip install argparse
+
+
+Unused modules removed
+----------------------
+
+The ``future.six`` module has been removed. ``future`` doesn't require ``six``
+(and hasn't since version 0.3). If you need support for Python versions before
+2.6, ``six`` is the best option. ``future`` and ``six`` can be installed
+alongside each other easily if needed.
+
+The unused ``hacks`` module has also been removed from the source tree.
+
+
+``isinstance()`` added to :mod:`future.builtins` (v0.8.2)
+---------------------------------------------------------
+
+It is now possible to use ``isinstance()`` calls normally after importing ``isinstance`` from
+``future.builtins``. On Python 2, this is specially defined to be compatible with
+``future``'s backported ``int``, ``str``, and ``bytes`` types, as well as
+handling Python 2's ``int``/``long`` distinction.
+
+The result is that code that uses ``isinstance`` to perform type-checking of
+ints, strings, and bytes should now work identically on Python 2 as on Python 3.
+
+The utility functions ``isint``, ``istext``, and ``isbytes`` provided before for
+compatible type-checking across Python 2 and 3 in :mod:`future.utils` are now
+deprecated.
+
