+C API
+-----
-- Issue #14062: Header objects now correctly respect the 'linesep' setting
- when processed by BytesParser (which smtplib.SMTP.send_message uses).
+- Issue #15610: PyImport_ImportModuleEx() now uses a 'level' of 0 instead of -1.
-- Issue #14291: Email now defaults to utf-8 for non-ASCII unicode headers
- instead of raising an error. This fixes a regression relative to 2.7.
+- Issues #15169, #14599: Strip out the C implementation of
+ imp.source_from_cache() used by PyImport_ExecCodeModuleWithPathnames() and
+ used the Python code instead. Leads to PyImport_ExecCodeModuleObject() to not
+ try to infer the source path from the bytecode path as
+ PyImport_ExecCodeModuleWithPathnames() does.
-- Issue #5219: Prevent event handler cascade in IDLE.
+Extension Modules
+-----------------
-- Issue #14184: Increase the default stack size for secondary threads on
- Mac OS X to avoid interpreter crashes when using threads on 10.7.
+- Issue #6493: An issue in ctypes on Windows that caused structure bitfields
+ of type ctypes.c_uint32 and width 32 to incorrectly be set has been fixed.
-- Issue #10543: Fix unittest test discovery with Jython bytecode files.
+- Issue #15194: Update libffi to the 3.0.11 release.
-- Issue #14252: Fix subprocess.Popen.terminate() to not raise an error under
- Windows when the child process has already exited.
+Tools/Demos
+-----------
-- Issue #14195: An issue that caused weakref.WeakSet instances to incorrectly
- return True for a WeakSet instance 'a' in both 'a < a' and 'a > a' has been
- fixed.
+- Issue #15458: python-config gets a new option --configdir to print the $LIBPL
+ value.
-- Issue #14177: marshal.loads() now raises TypeError when given an unicode
- string. Patch by Guilherme Gonçalves.
+- Move importlib.test.benchmark to Tools/importbench.
-- Issue #14159: Fix the len() of weak containers (WeakSet, WeakKeyDictionary,
- WeakValueDictionary) to return a better approximation when some objects
- are dead or dying. Moreover, the implementation is now O(1) rather than
- O(n).
+- Issue #12605: The gdb hooks for debugging CPython (within Tools/gdb) have been
+ enhanced to show information on more C frames relevant to CPython within the
+ "py-bt" and "py-bt-full" commands:
+ * C frames that are waiting on the GIL
+ * C frames that are garbage-collecting
+ * C frames that are due to the invocation of a PyCFunction
-- Issue #13125: Silence spurious test_lib2to3 output when in non-verbose mode.
- Patch by Mikhail Novikov.
+Documentation
+-------------
-- Issue #13447: Add a test file to host regression tests for bugs in the
- scripts found in the Tools directory.
+- Issue #15444: Use proper spelling for non-ASCII contributor names. Patch
+ by Serhiy Storchaka.
-- Issue #8033: sqlite3: Fix 64-bit integer handling in user functions
- on 32-bit architectures. Initial patch by Philippe Devalkeneer.
+- Issue #15295: Reorganize and rewrite the documentation on the import system.

+ nudge readers towards importlib when appropriate.
-- Issue #6493: An issue in ctypes on Windows that caused structure bitfields
- of type ctypes.c_uint32 and width 32 to incorrectly be set has been fixed.
+- Issue #15053: Copy Python 3.3 import lock change notice to all relevant
+ functions in imp instead of just at the top of the relevant section.
-- Issue #15000: Support the "unique" x32 architecture in _posixsubprocess.c.
+- Issue #15288: Link to the term "loader" in notes in pkgutil about how things
+ won't work as expected in Python 3.3 and mark the requisite functions as
+ "changed" since they will no longer work with modules directly imported by
+ import itself.
-- Issue #9041: An issue in ctypes.c_longdouble, ctypes.c_double, and
- ctypes.c_float that caused an incorrect exception to be returned in the
- case of overflow has been fixed.
+- Issue #13557: Clarify effect of giving two different namespaces to exec or
+ execfile().
-- Issue #14212: The re module didn't retain a reference to buffers it was
