+Notable changes in Python 3.9.1
+===============================
+
+typing
+------
+
+The behavior of :class:`typing.Literal` was changed to conform with :pep:`586`
+and to match the behavior of static type checkers specified in the PEP.
+
+1. ``Literal`` now de-duplicates parameters.
+2. Equality comparisons between ``Literal`` objects are now order independent.
+3. ``Literal`` comparisons now respect types.  For example,
+   ``Literal[0] == Literal[False]`` previously evaluated to ``True``.  It is
+   now ``False``.  To support this change, the internally used type cache now
+   supports differentiating types.
+4. ``Literal`` objects will now raise a :exc:`TypeError` exception during
+   equality comparisons if one of their parameters are not :term:`immutable`.
+   Note that declaring ``Literal`` with mutable parameters will not throw
+   an error::
+
+      >>> from typing import Literal
+      >>> Literal[{0}]
+      >>> Literal[{0}] == Literal[{False}]
+      Traceback (most recent call last):
+        File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
+      TypeError: unhashable type: 'set'
