!     - Text files will pass data read and written through the default
!       codecs for the JVM. Binary files will write only the lower eight
!       bits of each unicode character.
!     - arrays passed to java code will no longer autocoerce just 
!       because the elements can be autocoerced.
!     - The precedence of java loading have changed. Now the sys.path
!       is searched for python modules before the CLASSPATH and sys.path
!       is searched for java class and java packages.
! 
!   Bug fixes.
!     - Many, including the errata.
