The "New Modules" section was left in place to ensure that the anchor
link for new modules will still exist:
/whatsnew/3.12.html#new-modules
/whatsnew/3.10.html#new-modules
This means that existing links to this section don't break.
* Add PyDict_GetItemRef() and PyDict_GetItemStringRef() functions.
Add these functions to the stable ABI version 3.13.
* Add unit tests on the PyDict C API in test_capi.
Detect email address parsing errors and return empty tuple to indicate the parsing error (old API). This fixes or at least ameliorates CVE-2023-27043.

Schedule the removal of C API global configuration variables in
Python 3.14. Announce the removal to help C extension maintainers to
upgrade their code.
Remove the "cpython/pytime.h" header file: it only contained private
functions. Move functions to the internal pycore_time.h header file.
Move tests from _testcapi to _testinternalcapi. Rename also test
methods to have the same name than tested C functions.
No longer export these functions:
* _PyTime_Add()
* _PyTime_As100Nanoseconds()
* _PyTime_FromMicrosecondsClamp()
* _PyTime_FromTimespec()
* _PyTime_FromTimeval()
* _PyTime_GetPerfCounterWithInfo()
* _PyTime_MulDiv()
PyTuple_SET_ITEM() and PyList_SET_ITEM() now check the index argument
with an assertion if Python is built in debug mode or is built with
assertions.
* list_extend() and _PyList_AppendTakeRef() now set the list size
before calling PyList_SET_ITEM().
* PyStructSequence_GetItem() and PyStructSequence_SetItem() now check
the index argument: must be lesser than REAL_SIZE(op).
* PyStructSequence_GET_ITEM() and PyStructSequence_SET_ITEM() are now
aliases to PyStructSequence_GetItem() and
PyStructSequence_SetItem().
Brings `pathlib.Path.is_dir()` and `in line with `os.DirEntry.is_dir()`, which
will be important for implementing generic path walking and globbing.
Likewise `is_file()`.
Remove old aliases which were kept backwards compatibility with
Python 3.8:
* _PyObject_CallMethodNoArgs()
* _PyObject_CallMethodOneArg()
* _PyObject_CallOneArg()
* _PyObject_FastCallDict()
* _PyObject_Vectorcall()
* _PyObject_VectorcallMethod()
* _PyVectorcall_Function()
Update code which used these aliases to use new names.
This new exception type is raised instead of `NotImplementedError` when
a path operation is not supported. It can be raised from `Path.readlink()`,
`symlink_to()`, `hardlink_to()`, `owner()` and `group()`. In a future
version of pathlib, it will be raised by `AbstractPath` for these methods
and others, such as `AbstractPath.mkdir()` and `unlink()`.
* Add tests on PyImport_AddModuleRef(), PyImport_AddModule() and
PyImport_AddModuleObject().
* pythonrun.c: Replace Py_XNewRef(PyImport_AddModule(name)) with
PyImport_AddModuleRef(name).
Deprecate two methods of creating typing.TypedDict classes with 0 fields using the functional syntax: `TD = TypedDict("TD")` and `TD = TypedDict("TD", None)`. Both will be disallowed in Python 3.15. To create a TypedDict class with 0 fields, either use `class TD(TypedDict): pass` or `TD = TypedDict("TD", {})`.
Deprecate creating a typing.NamedTuple class using keyword arguments to denote the fields (`NT = NamedTuple("NT", x=int, y=str)`). This will be disallowed in Python 3.15. Use the class-based syntax or the functional syntax instead.
Two methods of creating `NamedTuple` classes with 0 fields using the functional syntax are also deprecated, and will be disallowed in Python 3.15: `NT = NamedTuple("NT")` and `NT = NamedTuple("NT", None)`. To create a `NamedTuple` class with 0 fields, either use `class NT(NamedTuple): pass` or `NT = NamedTuple("NT", [])`.
When Python is built in debug mode (if the Py_REF_DEBUG macro is
defined), the Py_INCREF() and Py_DECREF() function are now always
implemented as opaque functions to avoid leaking implementation
details like the "_Py_RefTotal" variable or the
_Py_DecRefTotal_DO_NOT_USE_THIS() function.
* Remove _Py_IncRefTotal_DO_NOT_USE_THIS() and
_Py_DecRefTotal_DO_NOT_USE_THIS() from the stable ABI.
* Remove _Py_NegativeRefcount() from limited C API.
Remove functions in the C API:
* PyEval_AcquireLock()
* PyEval_ReleaseLock()
* PyEval_InitThreads()
* PyEval_ThreadsInitialized()
But keep these functions in the stable ABI.
Mention "make regen-limited-abi" in "make regen-all".
Remove the following old functions to configure the Python
initialization, deprecated in Python 3.11:
* PySys_AddWarnOptionUnicode()
* PySys_AddWarnOption()
* PySys_AddXOption()
* PySys_HasWarnOptions()
* PySys_SetArgvEx()
* PySys_SetArgv()
* PySys_SetPath()
* Py_SetPath()
* Py_SetProgramName()
* Py_SetPythonHome()
* Py_SetStandardStreamEncoding()
* _Py_SetProgramFullPath()
Most of these functions are kept in the stable ABI, except:
* Py_SetStandardStreamEncoding()
* _Py_SetProgramFullPath()
Update Doc/extending/embedding.rst and Doc/extending/extending.rst to
use the new PyConfig API.
_testembed.c:
* check_stdio_details() now sets stdio_encoding and stdio_errors
of PyConfig.
* Add definitions of functions removed from the API but kept in the
stable ABI.
* test_init_from_config() and test_init_read_set() now use
PyConfig_SetString() instead of PyConfig_SetBytesString().
Remove _Py_ClearStandardStreamEncoding() internal function.
Deprecate the old Py_UNICODE and PY_UNICODE_TYPE types in the C API:
use wchar_t instead.
Replace Py_UNICODE with wchar_t in multiple C files.

`PurePath.match()` now handles the `**` wildcard as in `Path.glob()`, i.e. it matches any number of path segments.
We now compile a `re.Pattern` object for the entire pattern. This is made more difficult by `fnmatch` not treating directory separators as special when evaluating wildcards (`*`, `?`, etc), and so we arrange the path parts onto separate *lines* in a string, and ensure we don't set `re.DOTALL`.

Add a keyword-only *follow_symlinks* parameter to `pathlib.Path.glob()` and`rglob()`.
When *follow_symlinks* is `None` (the default), these methods follow symlinks except when evaluating "`**`" wildcards. When set to true or false, symlinks are always or never followed, respectively.
* Remove the Lib/test/imghdrdata/ directory.
* Copy 5 pictures (gif, png, ppm, pgm, xbm) from removed
Lib/test/imghdrdata/ to a new Lib/test/tkinterdata/ directory.
* Update Sphinx from 4.5 to 6.2 in Doc/requirements.txt.
* socket_helper.transient_internet() no longer imports nntplib to
catch nntplib.NNTPTemporaryError.
* ssltests.py no longer runs test_nntplib.
* "make quicktest" no longer runs test_nntplib.
* WASM: remove nntplib from OMIT_NETWORKING_FILES.
* Remove mentions to nntplib in the email documentation.
In Python 3.8 and prior, `pathlib.Path.__exit__()` marked a path as closed;
some subsequent attempts to perform I/O would raise an IOError. This
functionality was never documented, and had the effect of making `Path`
objects mutable, contrary to PEP 428. In Python 3.9 we made `__exit__()` a
no-op, and in 3.11 `__enter__()` began raising deprecation warnings. Here
we remove both methods.
* Support for conversion specifiers o (octal) and X (uppercase hexadecimal).
* Support for length modifiers j (intmax_t) and t (ptrdiff_t).
* Length modifiers are now applied to all integer conversions.
* Support for wchar_t C strings (%ls and %lV).
* Support for variable width and precision (*).
* Support for flag - (left alignment).
`ast.Num`, `ast.Str`, `ast.Bytes`, `ast.Ellipsis` and `ast.NameConstant` now all emit deprecation warnings on import, access, instantation or `isinstance()` checks.

Add `pathlib.PurePath.with_segments()`, which creates a path object from arguments. This method is called whenever a derivative path is created, such as from `pathlib.PurePath.parent`. Subclasses may override this method to share information between path objects.

The bitwise inversion operator on bool returns the bitwise inversion of the
underlying int value; i.e. `~True == -2` such that `bool(~True) == True`.
It's a common pitfall that users mistake `~` as negation operator and actually
want `not`. Supporting `~` is an artifact of bool inheriting from int. Since there
is no real use-case for the current behavior, let's deprecate `~` on bool and
later raise an error. This removes a potential source errors for users.

The default task name is "Task-<counter>" (if no name is passed in during Task creation).
This is initialized in `Task.__init__` (C impl) using string formatting, which can be quite slow.
Actually using the task name in real world code is not very common, so this is wasted init.
Let's defer this string formatting to the first time the name is read (in `get_name` impl),
so we don't need to pay the string formatting cost if the task name is never read.
We don't change the order in which tasks are assigned numbers (if they are) --
the number is set on task creation, as a PyLong instead of a formatted string.

This is the implementation of PEP683
Motivation:
The PR introduces the ability to immortalize instances in CPython which bypasses reference counting. Tagging objects as immortal allows up to skip certain operations when we know that the object will be around for the entire execution of the runtime.
Note that this by itself will bring a performance regression to the runtime due to the extra reference count checks. However, this brings the ability of having truly immutable objects that are useful in other contexts such as immutable data sharing between sub-interpreters.

This deprecates `st_ctime` fields on Windows, with the intent to change them to contain the correct value in 3.14. For now, they should keep returning the creation time as they always have.
