    ctypes changes
  
+     ctypes now allows calling Python C api functions.  The pythonapi
+     symbol should be used to access these functions, this will
+     automatically use the correct calling convention and exception
+     handling.  The py_object type is the ctypes variant of 'PyObject *'.
+     This feature should also work if you are using a static python
+     build.
+ 
+     It is now possible to call cdecl functions with more arguments
+     than the length of the argtypes sequence specifies - this allows
+     to provide functions like sprintf() with a proper prototype.
+ 
      It is now possible to create strings or unicode strings if you
      have the integer address by calling c_char_p(address) or

-   experimental changes
- 
-     It is now possible to call Python API functions with ctypes.  This
-     is an experimental feature and will probably change.  Please don't
-     use it yet in production code, and watch the ctypes-users mailing
-     list.

+ 
+ 	* (Message): A pythonapi object has been added to the ctypes
+ 	package.  On windows, it is bound to the python dll, on other
+ 	systems it is bound to the current process.
+ 
+ 	It allows to access C Python api functions.
+ 
+ 	py_object is the ctypes type corresponding to the C 'PyObject *'
+ 	type.
+ 
+ 	* ctypes: It is now possible to call cdecl functions with more
+ 	arguments than the length of the argtypes attribute, even if this
+ 	is set.  This allows specify argtypes for functions like sprintf().
