* The :mod:`nntplib` module gets a revamped implementation with better
bytes / unicode semantics as well as more practical APIs. These improvements
break compatibility with the nntplib version in Python 3.1, which was
partly dysfunctional in itself.
(Contributed by Antoine Pitrou in :issue:`9360`)
* The :mod:`abc` module now supports :func:`~abc.abstractclassmethod` and
:func:`~abc.abstractstaticmethod`.

(Contributed by Tarek Ziadé and Giampaolo Rodolà in :issue:`4972`, and

* :class:`gzip.GzipFile` now implements the :class:`io.BufferedIOBase` ABC
(except for ``truncate()``), has a :meth:`~gzip.GzipFile.peek` method,
and supports unseekable as well as zero-padded file objects.

:issue:`1675951`, :issue:`7471` and :issue:`2846`.)
The :mod:`gzip` module also gains the :func:`~gzip.compress` and
:func:`~gzip.decompress` functions for easier in-memory compression and
decompression.
(Contributed by Anand B. Pillai in :issue:`3488`.)
* The :mod:`os` module now has the :const:`ST_RDONLY` and :const:`ST_NOSUID`
constants, for use with the :func:`~os.statvfs` function.

This section lists previously described changes and other bugfixes that may
require changes to your code:
* The :mod:`nntplib` module was reworked extensively, meaning that its APIs
are often incompatible with the 3.1 APIs.
* :class:`bytearray` objects cannot be used anymore as filenames: convert them
to :class:`bytes`.
