What's new in 1.8.0?

I’ve been searching high and low for a prioritized presentation of what
to expect from the impending 1.8.0 release. Something akind to
http://www.python.org/2.3/highlights.html. Does such a presentation
exist? If not, I’d be much grateful if someone holding an overview
could share it.

The doc/NEWS file describes changes, not yet complete, but becoming
close.

Ahhh, very well, then. I was initially dissuaded by the “This file is
not actively maintained. See ChangeLog for recent changes.” disclaimer
at the top.

That’s because "incomplete"ness. I’m updating it by 1.8.0 final.
