+\item The \module{mailbox} module underwent a massive rewrite to add
+the capability to modify mailboxes in addition to reading them.  A new
+set of classes that include \class{mbox}, \class{MH}, and
+\class{Maildir} are used to read mailboxes, and have an
+\method{add(\var{message})} method to add messages,
+\method{remove(\var{key})} to remove messages, and
+\method{lock()}/\method{unlock()} to lock/unlock the mailbox.  The
+following example converts a maildir-format mailbox into an mbox-format one:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+import mailbox
+
+# 'factory=None' uses email.Message.Message as the class representing
+# individual messages.
+src = mailbox.Maildir('maildir', factory=None)
+dest = mailbox.mbox('/tmp/mbox')
+
+for msg in src:
+    dest.add(msg)
+\end{verbatim}

+\item The \module{optparse} module was updated to version 1.5.1 of the
