 +  abbreviated as "[Previous line repeated {count} more times]" by the builtin

 +
 +- Issue #27574: Decreased an overhead of parsing keyword arguments in functions
 +  implemented with using Argument Clinic.
 +
 +- Issue #22557: Now importing already imported modules is up to 2.5 times
 +  faster.
 +
 +- Issue #17596: Include <wincrypt.h> to help with Min GW building.
 +
 +- Issue #17599: On Windows, rename the privately defined REPARSE_DATA_BUFFER
 +  structure to avoid conflicting with the definition from Min GW.
 +
 +- Issue #27507: Add integer overflow check in bytearray.extend().  Patch by
 +  Xiang Zhang.
 +

 +  PySequence_Tuple().  Patch by Xiang Zhang.
 +
 +- Issue #1621: Avoid signed integer overflow in list and tuple operations.
 +  Patch by Xiang Zhang.
 +
 +- Issue #27419: Standard __import__() no longer look up "__import__" in globals
 +  or builtins for importing submodules or "from import".  Fixed a crash if
 +  raise a warning about unabling to resolve package from __spec__ or
 +  __package__.
 +
 +- Issue #27083: Respect the PYTHONCASEOK environment variable under Windows.

 +  instead of SystemError.
 +

 +  Patch by Ivan Levkivskyi, docs by Neil Girdhar.
 +
 +- Issue #25958: Support "anti-registration" of special methods from

 +  several more) can be set to None in an implementation class and the
 +  behavior will be as if the method is not defined at all.
 +  (Previously, this mechanism existed only for __hash__, to make
 +  mutable classes unhashable.)  Code contributed by Andrew Barnert and
