++- Issue #13725: Fix regrtest to recognize the documented -d flag.
++ Patch by Erno Tukia.
++
+- Issue #13304: Skip test case if user site-packages disabled (-s or
+ PYTHONNOUSERSITE). (Patch by Carl Meyer)
+
+- Issue #5661: Add a test for ECONNRESET/EPIPE handling to test_asyncore. Patch
+ by Xavier de Gaye.
+
+- Issue #13218: Fix test_ssl failures on Debian/Ubuntu.
+
+- Re-enable lib2to3's test_parser.py tests, though with an expected failure
+ (see issue 13125).
+
+- Issue #12656: Add tests for IPv6 and Unix sockets to test_asyncore.
+
+- Issue #6484: Add unit tests for mailcap module (patch by Gregory Nofi)
+
+- Issue #11651: Improve the Makefile test targets to run more of the test suite
+ more quickly. The --multiprocess option is now enabled by default, reducing
+ the amount of time needed to run the tests. "make test" and "make quicktest"
+ now include some resource-intensive tests, but no longer run the test suite
+ twice to check for bugs in .pyc generation. Tools/scripts/run_test.py provides
+ an easy platform-independent way to run test suite with sensible defaults.
+
+- Issue #12331: The test suite for the packaging module can now run from an
+ installed Python.
+
+- Issue #12331: The test suite for lib2to3 can now run from an installed
+ Python.
+
+- Issue #12626: In regrtest, allow to filter tests using a glob filter
+ with the ``-m`` (or ``--match``) option. This works with all test cases
+ using the unittest module. This is useful with long test suites
+ such as test_io or test_subprocess.
+
+- Issue #12624: It is now possible to fail after the first failure when
+ running in verbose mode (``-v`` or ``-W``), by using the ``--failfast``
+ (or ``-G``) option to regrtest. This is useful with long test suites
+ such as test_io or test_subprocess.
+
+- Issue #12587: Correct faulty test file and reference in test_tokenize.
+ (Patch by Robert Xiao)
+
+- Issue #12573: Add resource checks for dangling Thread and Process objects.
+
+- Issue #12549: Correct test_platform to not fail when OS X returns 'x86_64'
+ as the processor type on some Mac systems.
+
+- Skip network tests when getaddrinfo() returns EAI_AGAIN, meaning a temporary
+ failure in name resolution.
+
+- Issue #11812: Solve transient socket failure to connect to 'localhost'
+ in test_telnetlib.py.
+
+- Solved a potential deadlock in test_telnetlib.py. Related to issue #11812.
+
+- Avoid failing in test_robotparser when mueblesmoraleda.com is flaky and
+ an overzealous DNS service (e.g. OpenDNS) redirects to a placeholder
+ Web site.
+
+- Avoid failing in test_urllibnet.test_bad_address when some overzealous
+ DNS service (e.g. OpenDNS) resolves a non-existent domain name. The test
+ is now skipped instead.
+
+- Issue #12440: When testing whether some bits in SSLContext.options can be
+ reset, check the version of the OpenSSL headers Python was compiled against,
+ rather than the runtime version of the OpenSSL library.
+
+- Issue #11512: Add a test suite for the cgitb module. Patch by Robbie Clemons.
+
+- Issue #12497: Install test/data to prevent failures of the various codecmaps
+ tests.
+
+- Issue #12496: Install test/capath directory to prevent test_connect_capath
+ testcase failure in test_ssl.
+
+- Issue #12469: Run wakeup and pending signal tests in a subprocess to run the
+ test in a fresh process with only one thread and to not change signal
+ handling of the parent process.
+
+- Issue #8716: Avoid crashes caused by Aqua Tk on OSX when attempting to run
+ test_tk or test_ttk_guionly under a username that is not currently logged
+ in to the console windowserver (as may be the case under buildbot or ssh).
+
+- Issue #12407: Explicitly skip test_capi.EmbeddingTest under Windows.
+
+- Issue #12400: regrtest -W doesn't rerun the tests twice anymore, but captures
+ the output and displays it on failure instead. regrtest -v doesn't print the
+ error twice anymore if there is only one error.
+
+- Issue #12141: Install copies of template C module file so that
+ test_build_ext of test_distutils and test_command_build_ext of
+ test_packaging are no longer silently skipped when
+ run outside of a build directory.
+
+- Issue #8746: Add additional tests for os.chflags() and os.lchflags().
+ Patch by Garrett Cooper.
+
+- Issue #10736: Fix test_ttk test_widgets failures with Cocoa Tk 8.5.9
+ 2.8 + on Mac OS X. (Patch by Ronald Oussoren)
+
+- Issue #12057: Add tests for ISO 2022 codecs (iso2022_jp, iso2022_jp_2,
+ iso2022_kr).
+
+- Issue #12096: Fix a race condition in test_threading.test_waitfor(). Patch
+ written by Charles-François Natali.
+
+- Issue #11614: import __hello__ prints "Hello World!". Patch written by
+ Andreas Stührk.
+

+
+- Issue #12041: Make test_wait3 more robust.
+
- Issue #11873: Change regex in test_compileall to fix occasional failures when
when the randomly generated temporary path happened to match the regex.
