- Issue #1195: Fix input() if it is interrupted by CTRL+d and then CTRL+c,
clear the end-of-file indicator after CTRL+d.
Library
-------
- Issue #12012: ssl.PROTOCOL_SSLv2 becomes optional.
- Issue #8650: Make zlib module 64-bit clean. compress(), decompress() and
their incremental counterparts now raise OverflowError if given an input
larger than 4GB, instead of silently truncating the input and returning
an incorrect result.
- Issue #12050: zlib.decompressobj().decompress() now clears the unconsumed_tail
attribute when called without a max_length argument.
- Issue #12062: Fix a flushing bug when doing a certain type of I/O sequence
on a file opened in read+write mode (namely: reading, seeking a bit forward,
writing, then seeking before the previous write but still within buffered
data, and writing again).
- Issue #1028: Tk returns invalid Unicode null in %A: UnicodeDecodeError.
With Tk < 8.5 _tkinter.c:PythonCmd() raised UnicodeDecodeError, caused
IDLE to exit. Converted to valid Unicode null in PythonCmd().
- Issue #11169: compileall module uses repr() to format filenames and paths to
escape surrogate characters and show spaces.
- Issue #10419, #6011: build_scripts command of distutils handles correctly
non-ASCII path (path to the Python executable). Open and write the script in
binary mode, but ensure that the shebang is decodable from UTF-8 and from the
encoding of the script.
- Issue #8498: In socket.accept(), allow to specify 0 as a backlog value in
order to accept exactly one connection. Patch by Daniel Evers.
- Issue #11164: Stop trying to use _xmlplus in the xml module.
Build
-----
- Issue #11347: Use --no-as-needed when linking libpython3.so.
Tools/Demos
-----------
- Issue #11996: libpython (gdb), replace "py-bt" command by "py-bt-full" and
add a smarter "py-bt" command printing a classic Python traceback.
Tests
-----
- Issue #5723: Improve json tests to be executed with and without accelerations.
- Issue #11910: Fix test_heapq to skip the C tests when _heapq is missing.
