+Core and Builtins
+-----------------
-- Issue #18784: The uuid module no more attempts to load libc via ctypes.CDLL,
- if all necessary functions are already found in libuuid.
- Patch by Evgeny Sologubov.
+- Issue #18942: sys._debugmallocstats() output was damaged on Windows.
+
+- Issue #18571: Implementation of the PEP 446: file descriptors and file
+ handles are now created non-inheritable; add functions
+ os.get/set_inheritable(), os.get/set_handle_inheritable() and
+ socket.socket.get/set_inheritable().
+
+- Issue #11619: The parser and the import machinery do not encode Unicode
+ filenames anymore on Windows.
+
+- Issue #18808: Non-daemon threads are now automatically joined when
+ a sub-interpreter is shutdown (it would previously dump a fatal error).
+
+- Remove supporting for compiling on systems without getcwd().
+
+- Issue #18774: Remove last bits of GNU PTH thread code and thread_pth.h.
+
+- Issue #18771: Add optimization to set object lookups to reduce the cost
+ of hash collisions. The core idea is to inspect a second key/hash pair
+ for each cache line retrieved.
+
+- Issue #16105: When a signal handler fails to write to the file descriptor
+ registered with ``signal.set_wakeup_fd()``, report an exception instead
+ of ignoring the error.
+
+- Issue #18722: Remove uses of the "register" keyword in C code.
+
+- Issue #18667: Add missing "HAVE_FCHOWNAT" symbol to posix._have_functions.
+
+- Issue #16499: Add command line option for isolated mode.
+
+- Issue #15301: Parsing fd, uid, and gid parameters for builtins
+ in Modules/posixmodule.c is now far more robust.
+
+- Issue #18368: PyOS_StdioReadline() no longer leaks memory when realloc()
+ fail.
+
+- Issue #17934: Add a clear() method to frame objects, to help clean up
+ expensive details (local variables) and break reference cycles.
+
+- Issue #18780: %-formatting codes %d, %i, and %u now treat int-subclasses
+ as int (displays value of int-subclass instead of str(int-subclass) ).
+
+Library
+-------
+
+- Issue #18808: Thread.join() now waits for the underlying thread state to
+ be destroyed before returning. This prevents unpredictable aborts in
+ Py_EndInterpreter() when some non-daemon threads are still running.
+
+- Issue #18458: Prevent crashes with newer versions of libedit. Its readline
+ emulation has changed from 0-based indexing to 1-based like gnu readline.
+
+- Issue #18852: Handle case of ``readline.__doc__`` being ``None`` in the new
+ readline activation code in ``site.py``.
- Issue #18672: Fixed format specifiers for Py_ssize_t in debugging output in
the _sre module.
