* :class:`ast.AST` node positions are now validated when provided to
:func:`compile` and other related functions. If invalid positions are detected,
a :exc:`ValueError` will be raised. (Contributed by Pablo Galindo in :gh:`93351`)

* Global inline flags (e.g. ``(?i)``) can now only be used at the start of
the regular expressions. Using them not at the start of expression was
deprecated since Python 3.6.

It was previously an arbitrary random function to use for the shuffle;
now, :func:`random.random` (its previous default) will always be used.
* :c:member:`~PyTypeObject.tp_dictoffset` should be treated as write-only.
It can be set to describe C extension clases to the VM, but should be regarded
as meaningless when read. To get the pointer to the object's dictionary call
:c:func:`PyObject_GenericGetDict` instead.

* In the :mod:`re` module, several long-standing bugs where fixed that,
in rare cases, could cause capture groups to get the wrong result.
Therefore, this could change the captured output in these cases.
