multiprocessing
---------------
* The default start method (see :ref:`multiprocessing-start-methods`) changed
from *fork* to *forkserver* on platforms other than macOS & Windows where
it was already *spawn*. If you require the threading incompatible *fork*
start method you must explicitly request it using a context from
:func:`multiprocessing.get_context` (preferred) or change the default via
:func:`multiprocessing.set_start_method`.

* The :ref:`multiprocessing proxy objects <multiprocessing-proxy_objects>`
for *list* and *dict* types gain previously overlooked missing methods:
* :meth:`!clear` and :meth:`!copy` for proxies of :class:`list`.
* :meth:`~dict.fromkeys`, ``reversed(d)``, ``d | {}``, ``{} | d``,
``d |= {'b': 2}`` for proxies of :class:`dict`.

* :mod:`multiprocessing` and :mod:`concurrent.futures`:
The default start method (see :ref:`multiprocessing-start-methods`) changed
away from *fork* to *forkserver* on platforms where it was not already
*spawn* (Windows & macOS). If you require the threading incompatible *fork*
start method you must explicitly specify it when using :mod:`multiprocessing`
or :mod:`concurrent.futures` APIs.
