Core and Builtins
-----------------
+ - Issue #27983: Cause lack of llvm-profdata tool when using clang as
+ required for PGO linking to be a configure time error rather than
+ make time when --with-optimizations is enabled. Also improve our
+ ability to find the llvm-profdata tool on MacOS and some Linuxes.
+
- Issue #26307: The profile-opt build now applys PGO to the built-in modules.
+- Issue #27078: Added BUILD_STRING opcode. Optimized f-strings evaluation.
+
+- Issue #17884: Python now requires systems with inttypes.h and stdint.h
+
+- Issue #27961: Require platforms to support ``long long``. Python hasn't
+ compiled without ``long long`` for years, so this is basically a formality.
+
+- Issue #27355: Removed support for Windows CE. It was never finished,
+ and Windows CE is no longer a relevant platform for Python.
+
+- Issue #27921: Disallow backslashes in f-strings. This is a temporary
+ restriction: in beta 2, backslashes will only be disallowed inside
+ the braces (where the expressions are). This is a breaking change
+ from the 3.6 alpha releases.
+
+- Implement PEP 523.
+
+- Issue #27870: A left shift of zero by a large integer no longer attempts
+ to allocate large amounts of memory.
+
+- Issue #25402: In int-to-decimal-string conversion, improve the estimate
+ of the intermediate memory required, and remove an unnecessarily strict
+ overflow check. Patch by Serhiy Storchaka.
+
+- Issue #27214: In long_invert, be more careful about modifying object
+ returned by long_add, and remove an unnecessary check for small longs.
+ Thanks Oren Milman for analysis and patch.
+
+- Issue #27506: Support passing the bytes/bytearray.translate() "delete"
+ argument by keyword.
+
- Issue #27812: Properly clear out a generator's frame's backreference to the
generator to prevent crashes in frame.clear().
