+- Issue #8188: Introduce a new scheme for computing hashes of numbers
+ (instances of int, float, complex, decimal.Decimal and
+ fractions.Fraction) that makes it easy to maintain the invariant
+ that hash(x) == hash(y) whenever x and y have equal value.
+
- Issue #8748: Fix two issues with comparisons between complex and integer
objects. (1) The comparison could incorrectly return True in some cases
(2**53+1 == complex(2**53) == 2**53), breaking transivity of equality.
