-.. _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 0.12.3 (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.

- - 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)

-
-
-.. _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.
-
