 - The good news: this release is Carbon-based, so it runs natively on MacOS 8.6 or
   later and MacOSX.
-- The bad news: this release is Carbon-only. The next alpha release will be both
-  Carbon and classic PPC.
+- Alternatively there is a classic PPC interpreter as well. There are two reasons you
+  might want to use this: (a) you have a pre-MacOS9 system and don't want to install
+  CarbonLib, or (b) you need Tkinter, for which no Carbon version is available yet.
 - Distutils is included and seems to work.
 - There's a new module (package, actually) mkcwproject which builds CodeWarrior
   projects from simple templates. See Distutils or :Mac:scripts:genpluginprojects.py

+- Numeric is included again. It is now built using distutils, and lives in :Lib:site-python.
+  This makes it a lot easier to replace Numeric with a new version (when one comes out). [*]
+- PIL is included again. [*]
+- PythonInterpreterCarbon and PythonInterpreterClassic are now files of type "Atmp", not
