+===================================
+
+Release date: 2013-10-20
+
+Core and Builtins
+-----------------
+
+- Issue #19301: Give classes and functions that are explicitly marked global a
+ global qualname.
+
+- Issue #19279: UTF-7 decoder no longer produces illegal strings.
+
+- Issue #16612: Add "Argument Clinic", a compile-time preprocessor for
+ C files to generate argument parsing code. (See PEP 436.)
+
+- Issue #18810: Shift stat calls in importlib.machinery.FileFinder such that
+ the code is optimistic that if something exists in a directory named exactly
+ like the possible package being searched for that it's in actuality a
+ directory.
+
+- Issue #18416: importlib.machinery.PathFinder now treats '' as the cwd and
+ importlib.machinery.FileFinder no longer special-cases '' to '.'. This leads
+ to modules imported from cwd to now possess an absolute file path for
+ __file__ (this does not affect modules specified by path on the CLI but it
+ does affect -m/runpy). It also allows FileFinder to be more consistent by not
+ having an edge case.
+
+- Issue #4555: All exported C symbols are now prefixed with either
+ "Py" or "_Py".
+
+- Issue #19219: Speed up marshal.loads(), and make pyc files slightly
+ (5% to 10%) smaller.
+
+- Issue #19221: Upgrade Unicode database to version 6.3.0.
+
+- Issue #16742: The result of the C callback PyOS_ReadlineFunctionPointer must
+ now be a string allocated by PyMem_RawMalloc() or PyMem_RawRealloc() (or NULL
+ if an error occurred), instead of a string allocated by PyMem_Malloc() or
+ PyMem_Realloc().
+
+- Issue #19199: Remove ``PyThreadState.tick_counter`` field
+
+- Fix macro expansion of _PyErr_OCCURRED(), and make sure to use it in at
+ least one place so as to avoid regressions.
+
+- Issue #19087: Improve bytearray allocation in order to allow cheap popping
+ of data at the front (slice deletion).
+
+- Issue #19014: memoryview.cast() is now allowed on zero-length views.
+
+- Issue #18690: memoryview is now automatically registered with
+ collections.abc.Sequence
+
+- Issue #19078: memoryview now correctly supports the reversed builtin
+ (Patch by Claudiu Popa)
