# Pull Request title
It should be in the following format:
```
bpo-NNNN: Summary of the changes made

Where: bpo-NNNN refers to the issue number in the https://bugs.python.org.
Most PRs will require an issue number. Trivial changes, like fixing a typo, do not need an issue.

Release GIL on grp.getgrnam(), grp.getgrgid(), pwd.getpwnam() and
pwd.getpwuid() if reentrant variants of these functions are available.
Patch by William Grzybowski.
Introduce a configure check for strsignal(3) which defines HAVE_STRSIGNAL for
signalmodule.c. Add some common signals on HP-UX. This change applies for
Windows and HP-UX.
bpo-32430: Rename Modules/Setup.dist to Modules/Setup
Remove the necessity to copy the former manually to the latter when updating the local source tree.
This issue covers various changes for the macOS installers provided via python.org for 3.7.0.
- Provide a provisional new installer variant for macOS 10.9 and later systems with 64-bit (x86_64) architecture only. Apple has made it known that future versions of macOS will only fully support 64-bit executables and some other third-party software suppliers have chosen 10.9 as their oldest supported system.
- Support **Tcl/Tk 8.6** with the 10.9 installer variant.
- Upgrade **OpenSSL** to 1.1.0g and **SQLite** to 3.22.0.
- The compiler name used for the interpreter build and for modules built with **Distutils / pip** is now _gcc_ rather than _gcc-4.2_. And extension module builds will no longer try to force use of an old SDK if present.
Until now Python used a hard coded white list of default TLS cipher
suites. The old approach has multiple downsides. OpenSSL's default
selection was completely overruled. Python did neither benefit from new
cipher suites (ChaCha20, TLS 1.3 suites) nor blacklisted cipher suites.
For example we used to re-enable 3DES.
Python now defaults to OpenSSL DEFAULT cipher suite selection and black
lists all unwanted ciphers. Downstream vendors can override the default
cipher list with --with-ssl-default-suites.

glibc is deprecating libcrypt in favor of libxcrypt, however python assumes
that crypt.h will always be included. This change makes the header inclusion
explicit when libxcrypt is present on the system.
Add https://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf-archive/ax_check_openssl.html
to auto-detect compiler flags, linker flags and libraries to compile
OpenSSL extensions. The M4 macro uses pkg-config and falls back to
manual detection.
Add autoconf magic to detect usable X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set1_host()
and related functions.
Refactor setup.py to use new config vars to compile _ssl and _hashlib
modules.

This module has never been enabled by default, never worked correctly
on x86-64, and caused ABI problems that caused C extension
compatibility. See bpo-29137 for details/discussion.
Starting with AIX6.1 there is support in libc.a for uuid (RFC4122)
This patch provides the changes needed for this integration with the OS.
On AIX the base function is uuid_create() rather than uuid_generate_time()
The AIX uuid_t typedef is more aligned to the UUID field based definition
while the Linux typedef that is more aligned with UUID bytes
(or perhaps UUID bytes_le) definitions.
Modify the code to use ncurses is_pad() instead of checking WINDOW
_flags field. If your platform does not provide the is_pad(), the
existing way that checks the field will be enabled.
Note: This change does not drop support for platforms where do not
have both WINDOW _flags field and is_pad().
See PEP 539 for details.
Highlights of changes:
- Add Thread Specific Storage (TSS) API
- Document the Thread Local Storage (TLS) API as deprecated
- Update code that used TLS API to use TSS API
Python requires C implementations provide memmove, so we shouldn't need to check for it. The only place using this configure check was expat, where we can simply always define HAVE_MEMMOVE.
Allow configure --with-lto to apply to all builds, not just profile-opt builds.
Whether this is actually useful or not must be determined by the person
building CPython using their own toolchain.
My own quick test on x86_64 Debian 9 (gcc 6.3, binutils 2.28) seemed
to suggest that it wasn't, but I expect better toolchains can or will exist
at some point. The point is to allow it at all.
