From dfd421467feb3ffc20a34d67341bf0e768ed1f02 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Miss Islington (bot)" <31488909+miss-islington@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Sun, 19 Jul 2026 17:28:20 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] [3.14] gh-139806: Mention pickle error changes in What's New in 3.14 (GH-154020) (GH-154162) The gh-122311 changes made pickle.dump() and pickle.dumps() raise PicklingError for some failures that previously raised AttributeError, ImportError, ValueError or UnicodeEncodeError, depending on the implementation. Add an entry about this in the "Porting to Python 3.14" section.
