sure of the meaning.

"cvs diff | patch" managed to stick the NEWS item in the 2.2 final
section!  I wonder which silly man wrote patch <wink>.

06efb77910 backport tim_one's checkin of
revision 1.101 of libfuncs.tex

SF bug #501591:  dir() doc is old
Bugfix candidate.

+ Updated dir() description to match actual 2.2 behavior.

+ Replaced the dir(sys) example with dir(struct), because the former
  was way out of date and is bound to change frequently, while the
  latter is stable.

+ Added a note cautioning that dir() is supplied primarily for
  convenience at an interactive prompt (hoping to discourage its
  use as the foundation of introspective code outside the core).

409ab5f325 It's merge time!
Backport gvanrossum's checkin of revision 1.9:

There's no need for typechecks on the second and third argument of
new.instancemethod() -- the instancemethod object is now a perfectly
general container.

This fixes SF bug ##503091 (Pedro Rodriquez): new.instancemethod fails
for new classes

This is a 2.2.1 candidate.
