 - PythonIDE used to burn CPU cycles when idle, this has been fixed. PythonInterpreter
   still has the problem. [*]
+- A BBEdit language module by Chris Stern is included in the :Mac:Contrib folder. [*]
+- The ConfigurePython applets will now detect if the preference file refers to a different

 What is not in this distribution
 --------------------------------
 
 - The garbage collection mods have not been enabled, mainly due to lack of test-time.

   no clue as to what is causing this.
 - PythonInterpreter used interactively will eat a lot of processor cycles. You should use
   PythonIDE for interactive work and PythonInterpreter for scripts only.
-- Under MacOSX applets have to live in the Python folder, otherwise they cannot find
-  PythonCore. This is being worked on.
+- Under MacOSX Public Beta ConfigurePython cannot put PythonCore in the global CFMSupport
+  folder. Therefore applets have to live in the Python folder, otherwise they cannot find
+  PythonCore. There is a workaround if you want to have an applet in a different folder:
+  put an alias PythonCoreCarbon (pointing to the PythonCoreCarbon in the Python folder)
+  in the same folder as your applet.
+  This problem should in all probability not occur in the release version of MacOSX.
