  We study how present data probe standard and non-standard properties of
neutrinos and the possible existence of new light particles, freely-streaming
or interacting, among themselves or with neutrinos. Our results include: sum
m_nu < 0.40 eV at 99.9% C.L.; that extra massless particles have abundance
Delta N_nu = 2 pm 1 if freely-streaming and Delta N_nu = 0 pm 1.3 if
interacting; that 3 interacting neutrinos are disfavored at about 4 sigma. We
investigate the robustness of our results by fitting to different sub-sets of
data. We developed our own cosmological computational tools, somewhat different
from the standard ones.
