What's new in Python for S60 (PyS60) 1.9.6:
� Support for a virtual 4-way directional pad is added for Canvas and text widgets. This D-Pad is displayed at the bottom of the screen and this feature is enabled by default on touch enabled devices. Currently, this is supported only in the portrait mode and landscape support will be available in a future release. The 'full_max' mode is invalidated by this change and is removed in this release.
� The modules in the base runtime is more refined and hence the size of application SIS, created using PyS60 Application Packager is reduced.
� A new chapter is added in the PyS60 documentation (Extending and Embedding PyS60), that is an end-to-end tutorial for creating 3rd party extension modules and distributing them.

Corrected defects:

� Floating point formatting/parsing routines on this platform are imprecise
� socket.access_points() returns iapid 0 for lots of entries
� Problems exiting standalone apps
� Calendar module returns end time with time zone offset added to Unix time
� Using rollback in calendar module returns error
� Screen orientation remains landscape after exit, while device was portrait all the time
� default.py cannot load .pyc files
� sys.exit() doesn't exit Python
