Do not add a frame to the traceback in the ``sys.setprofile`` and

the frame.

Change behavior of ``sys.monitoring.events.LINE`` events in
``sys.monitoring``: Line events now occur when a new line is reached
dynamically, instead of using a static approximation, as before. This makes
the behavior very similar to that of "line" events in ``sys.settrace``. This
should ease porting of tools from 3.11 to 3.12.

Fix ``float("nan")`` to produce a quiet NaN on platforms (like MIPS) where
the meaning of the signalling / quiet bit is inverted from its usual
meaning. Also introduce a new macro ``Py_INFINITY`` matching C99's
``INFINITY``, and refactor internals to rely on C99's ``NAN`` and
``INFINITY`` macros instead of hard-coding bit patterns for infinities and
NaNs. Thanks Sebastian Berg.

.. nonce: hT1ajK
.. section: Core and Builtins
Multi-phase init extension modules may now indicate that they support
running in subinterpreters that have their own GIL. This is done by using
``Py_MOD_PER_INTERPRETER_GIL_SUPPORTED`` as the value for the
``Py_mod_multiple_interpreters`` module def slot. Otherwise the module, by
default, cannot be imported in such subinterpreters. (This does not affect
the main interpreter or subinterpreters that do not have their own GIL.) In
addition to the isolation that multi-phase init already normally requires,
support for per-interpreter GIL involves one additional constraint:
thread-safety. If the module has external (linked) dependencies and those
libraries have any state that isn't thread-safe then the module must do the
additional work to add thread-safety. This should be an uncommon case.

.. nonce: -RAdnv
.. section: Core and Builtins
The GIL is now (optionally) per-interpreter. This is the fundamental change
for PEP 684. This is all made possible by virtue of the isolated state of
each interpreter in the process. The behavior of the main interpreter
remains unchanged. Likewise, interpreters created using
``Py_NewInterpreter()`` are not affected. To get an interpreter with its
own GIL, call ``Py_NewInterpreterFromConfig()``.

.. nonce: GOxAYt
.. section: Core and Builtins
Multi-phase init extension modules may now indicate whether or not they
actually support multiple interpreters. By default such modules are
expected to support use in multiple interpreters. In the uncommon case that
one does not, it may use the new ``Py_mod_multiple_interpreters`` module def
slot. A value of ``0`` means the module does not support them. ``1`` means
it does. The default is ``1``.

.. nonce: ZLBZk1
.. section: Core and Builtins
Implement :pep:`695`, adding syntactic support for generic classes, generic
functions, and type aliases.
A new ``type X = ...`` syntax is added for type aliases, which resolves at
runtime to an instance of the new class ``typing.TypeAliasType``. The value
is lazily evaluated and is accessible through the ``.__value__`` attribute.
This is implemented as a new AST node ``ast.TypeAlias``.
New syntax (``class X[T]: ...``, ``def func[T](): ...``) is added for
defining generic functions and classes. This is implemented as a new
``type_params`` attribute on the AST nodes for classes and functions. This
node holds instances of the new AST classes ``ast.TypeVar``,
``ast.ParamSpec``, and ``ast.TypeVarTuple``.
``typing.TypeVar``, ``typing.ParamSpec``, ``typing.ParamSpecArgs``,
``typing.ParamSpecKwargs``, ``typing.TypeVarTuple``, and ``typing.Generic``
are now implemented in C rather than Python.
There are new bytecode instructions ``LOAD_LOCALS``,
``LOAD_CLASSDICT_OR_GLOBAL``, and ``LOAD_CLASSDICT_OR_DEREF`` to support
correct resolution of names in class namespaces.

The bitwise inversion operator (``~``) on bool is deprecated. It returns the

inversion of the underlying ``int``, convert to int explicitly ``~int(x)``.
