Core and Builtins
-----------------
+- Issue #26154: Add a new private _PyThreadState_UncheckedGet() function to get
+ the current Python thread state, but don't issue a fatal error if it is NULL.
+ This new function must be used instead of accessing directly the
+ _PyThreadState_Current variable. The variable is no more exposed since
+ Python 3.5.1 to hide the exact implementation of atomic C types, to avoid
+ compiler issues.
+
+- Issue #25731: Fix set and deleting __new__ on a class.
+
+- Issue #22995: [UPDATE] Comment out the one of the pickleability tests in
+ _PyObject_GetState() due to regressions observed in Cython-based projects.
+
+- Issue #25961: Disallowed null characters in the type name.
+
+- Issue #25973: Fix segfault when an invalid nonlocal statement binds a name
+ starting with two underscores.
+
+- Issue #22995: Instances of extension types with a state that aren't
+ subclasses of list or dict and haven't implemented any pickle-related
+ methods (__reduce__, __reduce_ex__, __getnewargs__, __getnewargs_ex__,
+ or __getstate__), can no longer be pickled. Including memoryview.
+
+- Issue #20440: Massive replacing unsafe attribute setting code with special
+ macro Py_SETREF.
+
+- Issue #25766: Special method __bytes__() now works in str subclasses.
+
+- Issue #25421: __sizeof__ methods of builtin types now use dynamic basic size.
+ This allows sys.getsize() to work correctly with their subclasses with
+ __slots__ defined.
+
+- Issue #25709: Fixed problem with in-place string concatenation and utf-8 cache.
+
+- Issue #24097: Fixed crash in object.__reduce__() if slot name is freed inside
+ __getattr__.
+
+- Issue #24731: Fixed crash on converting objects with special methods
+ __bytes__, __trunc__, and __float__ returning instances of subclasses of
+ bytes, int, and float to subclasses of bytes, int, and float correspondingly.
+
+ - Issue #26171: Fix possible integer overflow and heap corruption in
+ zipimporter.get_data().
