The os.putenv() and os.unsetenv() functions are now always available.
On non-Windows platforms, Python now requires setenv() and unsetenv()
functions to build.
Remove putenv_dict from posixmodule.c: it's not longer needed.
Deprecate binhex4 and hexbin4 standards. Deprecate the binhex module
and the following binascii functions:
* b2a_hqx(), a2b_hqx()
* rlecode_hqx(), rledecode_hqx()
* crc_hqx()
Remove the buffering parameter of bz2.BZ2File. Since Python 3.0, it
was ignored and using it was emitting a DeprecationWarning. Pass an
open file object to control how the file is opened.
The compresslevel parameter becomes keyword-only.
Remove base64.encodestring() and base64.decodestring(), aliases
deprecated since Python 3.1: use base64.encodebytes() and
base64.decodebytes() instead.
nntplib.NNTP and nntplib.NNTP_SSL now raise a ValueError
if the given timeout for their constructor is zero to
prevent the creation of a non-blocking socket.
poplib.POP3 and poplib.POP3_SSL now raise a ValueError
if the given timeout for their constructor is zero to
prevent the creation of a non-blocking socket.
imaplib.IMAP4 and imaplib.IMAP4_SSL now have an
optional *timeout* parameter for their constructors.
Also, the imaplib.IMAP4.open() method now has an optional *timeout* parameter
with this change. The overridden methods of imaplib.IMAP4_SSL and
imaplib.IMAP4_stream were applied to this change.
Add ast.unparse() as a function in the ast module that can be used to unparse an
ast.AST object and produce a string with code that would produce an equivalent ast.AST
object when parsed.
Remove PyMethod_ClearFreeList() and PyCFunction_ClearFreeList()
functions: the free lists of bound method objects have been removed.
Remove also _PyMethod_Fini() and _PyCFunction_Fini() functions.
This exposes a Linux-specific syscall for sending a signal to a process
identified by a file descriptor rather than a pid.
For simplicity, we don't support the siginfo_t parameter to the syscall. This
parameter allows implementing a pidfd version of rt_sigqueueinfo(2), which
Python also doesn't support.
* "Return true/false" is replaced with "Return ``True``/``False``"
if the function actually returns a bool.
* Fixed formatting of some True and False literals (now in monospace).
* Replaced "True/False" with "true/false" if it can be not only bool.
* Replaced some 1/0 with True/False if it corresponds the code.
* "Returns <bool>" is replaced with "Return <bool>".

I'm also adding Petr Viktorin as contributor for vectorcall in the "what's new" section.

Provide Py_EnterRecursiveCall() and Py_LeaveRecursiveCall() as
regular functions for the limited API. Previously, there were defined
as macros, but these macros didn't work with the limited API which
cannot access PyThreadState.recursion_depth field.
Remove _Py_CheckRecursionLimit from the stable ABI.
Add Include/cpython/ceval.h header file.
