hashlib
-------
New :func:`hashlib.pbkdf2_hmac` function.

New :func:`hashlib.pbkdf2_hmac` function. (Contributed by Christian Heimes in
:issue:`18582`)
The :attr:`~hashlib.hash.name` attribute of :mod:`hashlib` hash objects is now
a formally supported interface. It has always existed in CPython's
:mod:`hashlib` (although it did not return lower case names for all supported
hashes), but it was not a public interface and so some other Python
implementations have not previously supported it. (Contributed by Jason R.
Coombs in :issue:`18532`.)

* :attr:`hashlib.hash.name` now always returns the identifier in lower case.
Previously some builtin hashes had uppercase names, but now that it is a
formal public interface the naming has been made consistent (:issue:`18532`).
