  -------
  
+ - Issue #18978: ``urllib.request.Request`` now allows the method to be
+   indicated on the class and no longer sets it to None in ``__init__``.
+ 
 +- Issue #18626: the inspect module now offers a basic command line
 +  introspection interface (Initial patch by Claudiu Popa)
 +
 +- Issue #3015: Fixed tkinter with wantobject=False.  Any Tcl command call
 +  returned empty string.
 +
 +- Issue #19037: The mailbox module now makes all changes to maildir files
 +  before moving them into place, to avoid race conditions with other programs
 +  that may be accessing the maildir directory.
 +
 +- Issue #14984: On POSIX systems, when netrc is called without a filename
 +  argument (and therefore is reading the user's $HOME/.netrc file), it now
 +  enforces the same security rules as typical ftp clients: the .netrc file must
 +  be owned by the user that owns the process and must not be readable by any
 +  other user.
 +
 +- Issue #18873: The tokenize module now detects Python source code encoding
 +  only in comment lines.
 +
 +- Issue #17764: Enable http.server to bind to a user specified network
 +  interface.  Patch contributed by Malte Swart.
 +
 +- Issue #18937: Add an assertLogs() context manager to unittest.TestCase
 +  to ensure that a block of code emits a message using the logging module.
 +
 +- Issue #17324: Fix http.server's request handling case on trailing '/'. Patch
 +  contributed by Vajrasky Kok.
 +
 +- Issue #19018: The heapq.merge() function no longer suppresses IndexError
 +  in the underlying iterables.
 +
 +- Issue #18784: The uuid module no more attempts to load libc via ctypes.CDLL,
 +  if all necessary functions are already found in libuuid.
 +  Patch by Evgeny Sologubov.
 +
  - The :envvar:`PYTHONFAULTHANDLER` environment variable now only enables the
    faulthandler module if the variable is non-empty. Same behaviour than other
    variables like :envvar:`PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE`.
