+        New features
+
+	- Loading non-binary string pickles checks for insecure
+	  strings. This is needed because cPickle (still) uses
+	  a restricted eval to parse non-binary string pickles.
+	  This change is needed to prevent pickles like::
+
+	    "S'hello world'*2000000\012p0\012."
+
+	  from hosing an application.
+
+	- User-defined types can now support unpickling without
+	  executing a constructor.
+
+	  The second value returned from '__reduce__' can now be None,
+          rather than an argument tuple.  On unpickling, if the
+	  second value returned from '__reduce__' during pickling was
+	  None, then rather than calling the first value returned from
+          '__reduce__', directly, the '__basicnew__' method of the
+          first value returned from '__reduce__' is called without
+	  arguments.
+
+	Cleanup
+
+	- Incorporated Guido's changes to cStringIO.h and copy_reg.py
+
+	- Removed pickle.py from cPickle distribution.
