  Core and Builtins
  -----------------
  
+ - Issue #14494: Fix __future__.py and its documentation to note that
+   absolute imports are the default behavior in 3.0 instead of 2.7.
+   Patch by Sven Marnach.
+ 
 -- Issue #14761: Fix potential leak on an error case in the import machinery.
 +- Issue #9260: A finer-grained import lock.  Most of the import sequence
 +  now uses per-module locks rather than the global import lock, eliminating
 +  well-known issues with threads and imports.
  
 -- Issue #14699: Fix calling the classmethod descriptor directly.
 -
 -- Issue #14433: Prevent msvcrt crash in interactive prompt when stdin
 -  is closed.
 -
 -- Issue #11603 (again): Setting __repr__ to __str__ now raises a RuntimeError
 -  when repr() or str() is called on such an object.
 -
 -- Issue #14658: Fix binding a special method to a builtin implementation of a
 -  special method with a different name.
 -
 -- Issue #14630: Fix a memory access bug for instances of a subclass of int
 -  with value 0.
 -
 -- Issue #14612: Fix jumping around with blocks by setting f_lineno.
 -
 -- Issue #14607: Fix keyword-only arguments which started with ``__``.
 -
 -- Issue #13889: Check and (if necessary) set FPU control word before calling
 -  any of the dtoa.c string <-> float conversion functions, on MSVC builds of
 -  Python.  This fixes issues when embedding Python in a Delphi app.
 -
 -- Issue #14474: Save and restore exception state in thread.start_new_thread()
 -  while writing error message if the thread leaves a unhandled exception.
 -
 -- Issue #13019: Fix potential reference leaks in bytearray.extend().  Patch
 -  by Suman Saha.
 -
 -- Issue #14378: Fix compiling ast.ImportFrom nodes with a "__future__" string as
 -  the module name that was not interned.
 +- Issue #14624: UTF-16 decoding is now 3x to 4x faster on various inputs.
 +  Patch by Serhiy Storchaka.
  
 -- Issue #14331: Use significantly less stack space when importing modules by
 -  allocating path buffers on the heap instead of the stack.
 +- asdl_seq and asdl_int_seq are now Py_ssize_t sized.
  
 -- Issue #14334: Prevent in a segfault in type.__getattribute__ when it was not
 -  passed strings.
 +- Issue #14133 (PEP 415): Implement suppression of __context__ display with an
 +  attribute on BaseException. This replaces the original mechanism of PEP 409.
  
 -- Issue #1469629: Allow cycles through an object's __dict__ slot to be
 -  collected. (For example if ``x.__dict__ is x``).
 +- Issue #14417: Mutating a dict during lookup now restarts the lookup instead
 +  of raising a RuntimeError (undoes issue #14205).
  
 -- Issue #14172: Fix reference leak when marshalling a buffer-like object
 -  (other than a bytes object).
 +- Issue #14738: Speed-up UTF-8 decoding on non-ASCII data.  Patch by Serhiy
 +  Storchaka.
  
 -- Issue #13521: dict.setdefault() now does only one lookup for the given key,
 -  making it "atomic" for many purposes.  Patch by Filip Gruszczyński.
 +- Issue #14700: Fix two broken and undefined-behaviour-inducing overflow checks
 +  in old-style string formatting.
  
 -- Issue #14471: Fix a possible buffer overrun in the winreg module.
 +- Issue #14705: The PyArg_Parse() family of functions now support the 'p' format
 +  unit, which accepts a "boolean predicate" argument.  It converts any Python
 +  value into an integer--0 if it is "false", and 1 otherwise.
