@@ -13,7 +13,7 @@ Enhancements
 * In assignment to messages associated with symbols, the attribute ``Protected`` is not having into account, following the standard in WMA. With this and the above change, Combinatorical 2.0 works as written.
 * ``Share[]`` performs an explicit call to the Python garbage collection and returns the amount of memory free.
 * Improving the compatibility of ``TeXForm`` and ``MathMLForm`` outputs with WMA. MatML tags around numbers appear as "<mn>" tags instead of "<mtext>", except in the case of ``InputForm`` expressions. In TeXForm some quotes around strings have been removed to conform to WMA. It is not clear whether this is the correct behavior.
-
+* ``TimeConstrained`` now works on pyston.
