* Implement C14N 2.0 as a new canonicalize() function in ElementTree.
Missing features:
- prefix renaming in XPath expressions (tag and attribute text is supported)
- preservation of original prefixes given redundant namespace declarations
* bpo-36673: Implement comment/PI parsing support for the TreeBuilder in ElementTree.
* bpo-36673: Rewrite the comment/PI factory handling for the TreeBuilder in "_elementtree" to make it use the same factories as the ElementTree module, and to make it explicit when the comments/PIs are inserted into the tree and when they are not (which is the default).
PyEval_AcquireLock() and PyEval_AcquireThread() now
terminate the current thread if called while the interpreter is
finalizing, making them consistent with PyEval_RestoreThread(),
Py_END_ALLOW_THREADS, and PyGILState_Ensure().
On Unix, C extensions are no longer linked to libpython.
It is now possible to load a C extension built using a shared library
Python with a statically linked Python.
When Python is embedded, libpython must not be loaded with
RTLD_LOCAL, but RTLD_GLOBAL instead. Previously, using RTLD_LOCAL, it
was already not possible to load C extensions which were not linked
to libpython, like C extensions of the standard library built by the
"*shared*" section of Modules/Setup.
distutils, python-config and python-config.py have been modified.
Document that subprocess.Popen no longer raise an exception on error
like missing program on very specific platforms when using
os.posix_spawn() is used.
Release build and debug build are now ABI compatible: the Py_DEBUG
define no longer implies Py_TRACE_REFS define which introduces the
only ABI incompatibility.
A new "./configure --with-trace-refs" build option is now required to
get Py_TRACE_REFS define which adds sys.getobjects() function and
PYTHONDUMPREFS environment variable.
Changes:
* Add ./configure --with-trace-refs
* Py_DEBUG no longer implies Py_TRACE_REFS
# [bpo-36651](https://bugs.python.org/issue36651): Fixed Asyncio Event Loop documentation inconsistency
In the documentation for the call_later and the call_at methods there is a note which says that the delay cannot be longer than a day, but both methods have a note saying that this limitation was removed in Python 3.8
Here I fixed this issue by removing the pre-exising note and added a versionchanged.
To test my changes I have rebuilt the documentation with ```make html```. I did not have any errors and the effected page displayed correctly on a browser.

The imap.IMAP4.logout() method no longer ignores silently arbitrary
exceptions.
Changes:
* The IMAP4.logout() method now expects a "BYE" untagged response,
rather than relying on _check_bye() which raises a self.abort()
exception.
* IMAP4.__exit__() now does nothing if the client already logged out.
* Add more debug info if test_logout() tests fail.
Add new keyword arguments "default_namespace" and "xml_declaration" to functions ET.tostring() and ET.tostringlist(), as known from ElementTree.write().
Calling these function from a thread when the runtime is finalizing will terminate
the thread, even if the thread was not created by Python. Users can use
_Py_IsFinalizing or sys.is_finalizing to check if the interpreter is in the process of
being finalized before calling this function to avoid unwanted termination.
For BufferedReader and BufferedWriter, seek and tell operations are
optional (they may or may not exist based on the underlying stream). For
BufferedRandom, they are mandatory: a BufferedRandom should not be
constructed over an unseekable underlying stream. Document this.
