+ abbreviated as "[Previous line repeated {count} more times]" by the builtin
+ traceback rendering. Patch by Emanuel Barry.
+
+- Issue #27574: Decreased an overhead of parsing keyword arguments in functions
+ implemented with using Argument Clinic.
+
+- Issue #22557: Now importing already imported modules is up to 2.5 times
+ faster.
+
+- Issue #17596: Include <wincrypt.h> to help with Min GW building.
+
+- Issue #17599: On Windows, rename the privately defined REPARSE_DATA_BUFFER
+ structure to avoid conflicting with the definition from Min GW.
+
+- Issue #27507: Add integer overflow check in bytearray.extend(). Patch by
+ Xiang Zhang.
+
+- Issue #27581: Don't rely on wrapping for overflow check in
+ PySequence_Tuple(). Patch by Xiang Zhang.
+
+- Issue #1621: Avoid signed integer overflow in list and tuple operations.
+ Patch by Xiang Zhang.
+
+- Issue #27419: Standard __import__() no longer look up "__import__" in globals

+ raise a warning about unabling to resolve package from __spec__ or
+ __package__.
+
+- Issue #27083: Respect the PYTHONCASEOK environment variable under Windows.

+ (Previously, this mechanism existed only for __hash__, to make
+ mutable classes unhashable.) Code contributed by Andrew Barnert and
