Changelog¶

gh-142594: Fix crash in TextIOWrapper.close() when the underlying buffer’s closed property calls detach().

gh-142451: hmac: Ensure that the HMAC.block_size attribute is correctly copied by HMAC.copy. Patch by Bénédikt Tran.

gh-142495: collections.defaultdict now prioritizes __setitem__() when inserting default values from default_factory. This prevents race conditions where a default value would overwrite a value set before default_factory returns.

gh-142651: unittest.mock: fix a thread safety issue where Mock.call_count may return inaccurate values when the mock is called concurrently from multiple threads.

gh-142595: Added type check during initialization of the decimal module to prevent a crash in case of broken stdlib. Patch by Sergey B Kirpichev.

gh-142556: Fix crash when a task gets re-registered during finalization in asyncio. Patch by Kumar Aditya.

gh-123241: Avoid reference count operations in garbage collection of ctypes objects.

gh-112527: The help text for required options in argparse no longer extended with “ (default: None)”.

gh-142346: Fix usage formatting for mutually exclusive groups in argparse when they are preceded by positional arguments or followed or intermixed with other optional arguments.

gh-142315: Pdb can now run scripts from anonymous pipes used in process substitution. Patch by Bartosz Sławecki.

gh-142332: Fix usage formatting for positional arguments in mutually exclusive groups in argparse. in argparse.

gh-142282: Fix winreg.QueryValueEx() to not accidentally read garbage buffer under race condition.

gh-75949: Fix argparse to preserve | separators in mutually exclusive groups when the usage line wraps due to length.

gh-142267: Improve argparse performance by caching the formatter used for argument validation.

gh-68552: MisplacedEnvelopeHeaderDefect and Missing header name defects are now correctly passed to the handle_defect method of policy in FeedParser.

gh-142006: Fix a bug in the email.policy.default folding algorithm which incorrectly resulted in a doubled newline when a line ending at exactly max_line_length was followed by an unfoldable token.

gh-105836: Fix asyncio.run_coroutine_threadsafe() leaving underlying cancelled asyncio task running.

gh-142737: Tracebacks will be displayed in fallback mode even if io.open() is lost. Previously, this would crash the interpreter. Patch by Bartosz Sławecki.

gh-142554: Fix a crash in divmod() when _pylong.int_divmod() does not return a tuple of length two exactly. Patch by Bénédikt Tran.

gh-142531: Fix a free-threaded GC performance regression. If there are many untracked tuples, the GC will run too often, resulting in poor performance. The fix is to include untracked tuples in the “long lived” object count. The number of frozen objects is also now included since the free-threaded GC must scan those too.

gh-142402: Fix reference counting when adjacent literal parts are merged while constructing string.templatelib.Template, preventing the displaced string object from leaking.

gh-133932: Fix crash in the free threading build when clearing frames that hold tagged integers.

gh-142589: Fix PyUnstable_Object_IsUniqueReferencedTemporary() handling of tagged ints on the interpreter stack.

gh-142571: PyUnstable_CopyPerfMapFile() now checks that opening the file succeeded before flushing.

gh-142454: When calculating the digest of the JIT stencils input, sort the hashed files by filenames before adding their content to the hasher. This ensures deterministic hash input and hence deterministic hash, independent on filesystem order.

gh-141808: When running make clean-retain-profile, keep the generated JIT stencils. That way, the stencils are not generated twice when Profile-guided optimization (PGO) is used. It also allows distributors to supply their own pre-built JIT stencils.

gh-138061: Ensure reproducible builds by making JIT stencil header generation deterministic.

gh-142145: Remove quadratic behavior in xml.minidom node ID cache clearing.

gh-119452: Fix a potential memory denial of service in the http.server module. When a malicious user is connected to the CGI server on Windows, it could cause an arbitrary amount of memory to be allocated. This could have led to symptoms including a MemoryError, swapping, out of memory (OOM) killed processes or containers, or even system crashes.

gh-140482: Preserve and restore the state of stty echo as part of the test environment.

gh-140082: Update python -m test to set FORCE_COLOR=1 when being run with color enabled so that unittest which is run by it with redirected output will output in color.

gh-139208: Fix regrtest --fast-ci --verbose: don’t ignore the --verbose option anymore. Patch by Victor Stinner.

gh-136442: Use exitcode 1 instead of 5 if unittest.TestCase.setUpClass() raises an exception

gh-139700: Check consistency of the zip64 end of central directory record. Support records with “zip64 extensible data” if there are no bytes prepended to the ZIP file.

gh-139283: sqlite3: correctly handle maximum number of rows to fetch in Cursor.fetchmany and reject negative values for Cursor.arraysize. Patch by Bénédikt Tran.

gh-137836: Add support of the “plaintext” element, RAWTEXT elements “xmp”, “iframe”, “noembed” and “noframes”, and optionally RAWTEXT element “noscript” in html.parser.HTMLParser.

gh-136065: Fix quadratic complexity in os.path.expandvars().

gh-119451: Fix a potential memory denial of service in the http.client module. When connecting to a malicious server, it could cause an arbitrary amount of memory to be allocated. This could have led to symptoms including a MemoryError, swapping, out of memory (OOM) killed processes or containers, or even system crashes.

gh-119342: Fix a potential memory denial of service in the plistlib module. When reading a Plist file received from untrusted source, it could cause an arbitrary amount of memory to be allocated. This could have led to symptoms including a MemoryError, swapping, out of memory (OOM) killed processes or containers, or even system crashes.

gh-96491: Deduplicate version number in IDLE shell title bar after saving to a file.

gh-139742: Colorize t-string prefixes for template strings in IDLE, as done for f-string prefixes.

gh-141994: xml.sax.handler: Make Documentation of xml.sax.handler.feature_external_ges warn of opening up to external entity attacks. Patch by Sebastian Pipping.

gh-140578: Remove outdated sencence in the documentation for multiprocessing, that implied that concurrent.futures.ThreadPoolExecutor did not exist.

gh-142048: Fix quadratically increasing garbage collection delays in free-threaded build.

gh-116738: Fix thread safety issue with re scanner objects in free-threaded builds.

gh-141930: When importing a module, use Python’s regular file object to ensure that writes to .pyc files are complete or an appropriate error is raised.

gh-120158: Fix inconsistent state when enabling or disabling monitoring events too many times.

gh-139653: Only raise a RecursionError or trigger a fatal error if the stack pointer is both below the limit pointer and above the stack base. If outside of these bounds assume that it is OK. This prevents false positives when user-space threads swap stacks.

gh-139103: Improve multithreaded scaling of dataclasses on the free-threaded build.

gh-140301: Fix memory leak of PyConfig in subinterpreters.

gh-140257: Fix data race between interpreter_clear() and take_gil() on eval_breaker during finalization with daemon threads.

gh-139951: Fixes a regression in GC performance for a growing heap composed mostly of small tuples.

• Counts number of actually tracked objects, instead of trackable objects. This ensures that untracking tuples has the desired effect of reducing GC overhead.

• Does not track most untrackable tuples during creation. This prevents large numbers of small tuples causing excessive GCs.

gh-140104: Fix a bug with exception handling in the JIT. Patch by Ken Jin. Bug reported by Daniel Diniz.

gh-140061: Fixing the checking of whether an object is uniquely referenced to ensure free-threaded compatibility. Patch by Sergey Miryanov.

gh-139516: Fix lambda colon erroneously start format spec in f-string in tokenizer.

gh-139640: ast.parse() no longer emits syntax warnings for return/break/continue in finally (see PEP 765) – they are only emitted during compilation.

gh-139640: Fix swallowing some syntax warnings in different modules if they accidentally have the same message and are emitted from the same line. Fix duplicated warnings in the finally block.

gh-63161: Support non-UTF-8 shebang and comments in Python source files if non-UTF-8 encoding is specified. Detect decoding error in comments for default (UTF-8) encoding. Show the line and position of decoding error for default encoding in a traceback. Show the line containing the coding cookie when it conflicts with the BOM in a traceback.

gh-116738: Make mmap thread-safe on the free threaded build.

gh-138558: Fix handling of unusual t-string annotations in annotationlib. Patch by Dave Peck.

gh-130522: Fix unraisable TypeError raised during interpreter shutdown in the threading module.

gh-137059: Fix handling of file URLs with a Windows drive letter in the URL authority by urllib.request.url2pathname(). This fixes a regression in earlier pre-releases of Python 3.14.

gh-130577: tarfile now validates archives to ensure member offsets are non-negative. (Contributed by Alexander Enrique Urieles Nieto in gh-130577.)

gh-135228: When dataclasses replaces a class with a slotted dataclass, the original class can now be garbage collected again. Earlier changes in Python 3.14 caused this class to always remain in existence together with the replacement class synthesized by dataclasses.

gh-136155: We are now checking for fatal errors in EPUB builds in CI.

gh-137400: Fix a crash in the free threading build when disabling profiling or tracing across all threads with PyEval_SetProfileAllThreads() or PyEval_SetTraceAllThreads() or their Python equivalents threading.settrace_all_threads() and threading.setprofile_all_threads().

gh-136053: marshal: fix a possible crash when deserializing slice objects.

gh-135661: Fix parsing start and end tags in html.parser.HTMLParser according to the HTML5 standard.

• Whitespaces no longer accepted between </ and the tag name. E.g. </ script> does not end the script section.

• Vertical tabulation (\v) and non-ASCII whitespaces no longer recognized as whitespaces. The only whitespaces are \t\n\r\f and space.

• Null character (U+0000) no longer ends the tag name.

• Attributes and slashes after the tag name in end tags are now ignored, instead of terminating after the first > in quoted attribute value. E.g. </script/foo=">"/>.

• Multiple slashes and whitespaces between the last attribute and closing > are now ignored in both start and end tags. E.g. <a foo=bar/ //>.

• Multiple = between attribute name and value are no longer collapsed. E.g. <a foo==bar> produces attribute “foo” with value “=bar”.

• [Reverted in gh-136927] Whitespaces between the = separator and attribute name or value are no longer ignored. E.g. <a foo =bar> produces two attributes “foo” and “=bar”, both with value None; <a foo= bar> produces two attributes: “foo” with value “” and “bar” with value None.

gh-102555: Fix comment parsing in html.parser.HTMLParser according to the HTML5 standard. --!> now ends the comment. -- > no longer ends the comment. Support abnormally ended empty comments <--> and <--->.

gh-132813: Improve error messages for incorrect types and values of csv.Dialect attributes.

gh-132969: Prevent the ProcessPoolExecutor executor thread, which remains running when shutdown(wait=False), from attempting to adjust the pool’s worker processes after the object state has already been reset during shutdown. A combination of conditions, including a worker process having terminated abormally, resulted in an exception and a potential hang when the still-running executor thread attempted to replace dead workers within the pool.

gh-127319: Set the allow_reuse_port class variable to False on the XMLRPC, logging, and HTTP servers. This matches the behavior in prior Python releases, which is to not allow port reuse.

gh-135171: Reverts the behavior of async generator expressions when created with object w/o __aiter__ method to the pre-3.13 behavior of raising a TypeError.

gh-130077: Properly raise custom syntax errors when incorrect syntax containing names that are prefixes of soft keywords is encountered. Patch by Pablo Galindo.

gh-135171: Reverts the behavior of generator expressions when created with a non-iterable to the pre-3.13 behavior of raising a TypeError. It is no longer possible to cause a crash in the debugger by altering the generator expression’s local variables.

gh-134774: Fix Py_DEBUG macro redefinition warnings on Windows debug builds. Patch by Chris Eibl.

gh-134632: Fixed build-details.json generation to use INCLUDEPY, in order to reference the pythonX.Y subdirectory of the include directory, as required in PEP 739, instead of the top-level include directory.

gh-130727: Fix a race in internal calls into WMI that can result in an “invalid handle” exception under high load. Patch by Chris Eibl.

gh-76023: Make os.path.realpath() ignore Windows error 1005 when in non-strict mode.

gh-133779: Reverts the change to generate different pyconfig.h files based on compiler settings, as it was frequently causing extension builds to break. In particular, the Py_GIL_DISABLED preprocessor variable must now always be defined explicitly when compiling for the experimental free-threaded runtime. The sysconfig.get_config_var() function can be used to determine whether the current runtime was compiled with that flag or not.

gh-133626: Ensures packages are not accidentally bundled into the traditional installer.

gh-134215: REPL import autocomplete only suggests private modules when explicitly specified.

gh-133744: Fix multiprocessing interrupt test. Add an event to synchronize the parent process with the child process: wait until the child process starts sleeping. Patch by Victor Stinner.

gh-133682: Fixed test case test.test_annotationlib.TestStringFormat.test_displays which ensures proper handling of complex data structures (lists, sets, dictionaries, and tuples) in string annotations.

gh-133639: Fix TestPyReplAutoindent.test_auto_indent_default() doesn’t run input_code.

gh-133767: Fix use-after-free in the “unicode-escape” decoder with a non-“strict” error handler.

gh-128840: Short-circuit the processing of long IPv6 addresses early in ipaddress to prevent excessive memory consumption and a minor denial-of-service.

gh-132710: If possible, ensure that uuid.getnode() returns the same result even across different processes. Previously, the result was constant only within the same process. Patch by Bénédikt Tran.

gh-80334: multiprocessing.freeze_support() now checks for work on any “spawn” start method platform rather than only on Windows.

gh-134582: Fix tokenize.untokenize() round-trip errors related to t-strings braces escaping

gh-134546: Ensure pdb remote debugging script is readable by remote Python process.

gh-134209: curses: The curses.window.instr() and curses.window.getstr() methods now allocate their internal buffer on the heap instead of the stack; in addition, the max buffer size is increased from 1023 to 2047.

gh-134235: Updated tab completion on REPL to include builtin modules. Contributed by Tom Wang, Hunter Young

gh-134152: Fixed UnboundLocalError that could occur during email header parsing if an expected trailing delimiter is missing in some contexts.

gh-134097: Fix interaction of the new REPL and -X showrefcount command line option.

gh-133889: The generated directory listing page in http.server.SimpleHTTPRequestHandler now only shows the decoded path component of the requested URL, and not the query and fragment.

gh-134098: Fix handling paths that end with a percent-encoded slash (%2f or %2F) in http.server.SimpleHTTPRequestHandler.

gh-132124: On POSIX-compliant systems, multiprocessing.util.get_temp_dir() now ignores TMPDIR (and similar environment variables) if the path length of AF_UNIX socket files exceeds the platform-specific maximum length when using the forkserver start method. Patch by Bénédikt Tran.

gh-134062: ipaddress: fix collisions in __hash__() for IPv4Network and IPv6Network objects.

gh-133581: Improve unparsing of t-strings in ast.unparse() and from __future__ import annotations. Empty t-strings now round-trip correctly and formatting in interpolations is preserved. Patch by Jelle Zijlstra.

gh-133551: Support t-strings (PEP 750) in annotationlib. Patch by Jelle Zijlstra.

gh-133439: Fix dot commands with trailing spaces are mistaken for multi-line SQL statements in the sqlite3 command-line interface.

gh-132493: Avoid accessing __annotations__ unnecessarily in inspect.signature().

gh-132876: ldexp() on Windows doesn’t round subnormal results before Windows 11, but should. Python’s math.ldexp() wrapper now does round them, so results may change slightly, in rare cases of very small results, on Windows versions before 11.

gh-133009: xml.etree.ElementTree: Fix a crash in Element.__deepcopy__ when the element is concurrently mutated. Patch by Bénédikt Tran.

gh-91555: Ignore log messages generated during handling of log messages, to avoid deadlock or infinite recursion. [NOTE: This change has since been reverted.]

gh-62824: Fix aliases for iso8859_8 encoding. Patch by Dave Goncalves.

gh-86155: html.parser.HTMLParser.close() no longer loses data when the <script> tag is not closed. Patch by Waylan Limberg.

gh-69426: Fix html.parser.HTMLParser to not unescape character entities in attribute values if they are followed by an ASCII alphanumeric or an equals sign.

gh-134381: Fix RuntimeError when using a not-started threading.Thread after calling os.fork()

gh-127960: PyREPL interactive shell no longer starts with __package__ and __file__ global names set to _pyrepl package internals. Contributed by Yuichiro Tachibana.

gh-130397: Remove special-casing for C stack depth limits for WASI. Due to WebAssembly’s built-in stack protection this does not pose a security concern.

gh-128066: Fixes an edge case where PyREPL improperly threw an error when Python is invoked on a read only filesystem while trying to write history file entries.

gh-69605: When auto-completing an import in the REPL, finding no candidates now issues no suggestion, rather than suggestions from the current namespace.

gh-134158: Fix coloring of double braces in f-strings and t-strings in the REPL.

gh-134119: Fix crash when calling next() on an exhausted template string iterator. Patch by Jelle Zijlstra.

gh-91048: Add ability to externally inspect all pending asyncio tasks, even if no task is currently entered on the event loop.

gh-109981: The test helper that counts the list of open file descriptors now uses the optimised /dev/fd approach on all Apple platforms, not just macOS. This avoids crashes caused by guarded file descriptors.

gh-132678: Add --prioritize to -m test. This option allows the user to specify which selected tests should execute first, even if the order is otherwise randomized. This is particularly useful for tests that run the longest.

gh-131290: Tests in Lib/test can now be correctly executed as standalone scripts.

gh-115322: The underlying extension modules behind readline:, subprocess, and ctypes now raise audit events on previously uncovered code paths that could lead to file system access related to C function calling and external binary execution. The ctypes.call_function audit hook has also been fixed to use an unsigned value for its function pointer.

gh-112936: fix IDLE: no Shell menu item in single-process mode.

gh-107006: Move documentation and example code for threading.local from its docstring to the official docs.

gh-125142: As part of the builtin help intro text, show the keyboard shortcuts for the new, non-basic REPL (F1, F2, and F3).

gh-133336: -J is no longer reserved for use by Jython. Patch by Adam Turner.

gh-133261: Fix bug where the cycle GC could untrack objects in the trashcan because they looked like they were immortal. When objects are added to the trashcan, we take care to ensure they keep a mortal reference count.

gh-133346: Added experimental color theming support to the _colorize module.

gh-132917: For the free-threaded build, check the process memory usage increase before triggering a full automatic garbage collection. If the memory used has not increased 10% since the last collection then defer it.

gh-91048: Add a new python -m asyncio ps PID command-line interface to inspect asyncio tasks in a running Python process. Displays a flat table of await relationships. A variant showing a tree view is also available as python -m asyncio pstree PID. Both are useful for debugging async code.

gh-133194: ast.parse() will no longer parse new PEP 758 syntax with older feature_version passed.

gh-131798: Split CALL_LEN into several uops allowing the JIT to remove them when optimizing. Patch by Diego Russo.

gh-131798: Use sym_new_type instead of sym_new_not_null for _BUILD_STRING, _BUILD_SET

gh-131798: Propagate the return type of _BINARY_OP_SUBSCR_TUPLE_INT in JIT. Patch by Tomas Roun

gh-132952: Speed up startup with the -S argument by importing the private _io module instead of io. This fixes a performance regression introduced earlier in Python 3.14 development and restores performance to the level of Python 3.13.

gh-131798: Allow the JIT to remove int guards after _CALL_LEN by setting the return type to int. Patch by Diego Russo

gh-131798: Split CALL_TUPLE_1 into several uops allowing the JIT to remove some of them. Patch by Tomas Roun

gh-132737: Support profiling code that requires __main__, such as pickle.

gh-132639: Added PyLong_AsNativeBytes(), PyLong_FromNativeBytes() and PyLong_FromUnsignedNativeBytes() to the limited C API.

gh-100239: Add specialisation for BINARY_OP/SUBSCR on list and slice.

gh-132508: Uses tagged integers on the evaluation stack to represent the instruction offsets when reraising an exception. This avoids the need to box the integer which could fail in low memory conditions.

gh-124476: Fix decoding from the locale encoding in the C.UTF-8 locale.

gh-131927: Compiler warnings originating from the same module and line number are now only emitted once, matching the behaviour of warnings emitted from user code. This can also be configured with warnings filters.

gh-132457: Make staticmethod() and classmethod() generic.

gh-131798: Use sym_new_type instead of sym_new_not_null for _BUILD_LIST, _BUILD_SET, _BUILD_MAP

gh-131798: Split CALL_TYPE_1 into several uops allowing the JIT to remove some of them.

gh-132386: Fix crash when passing a dict subclass as the globals parameter to exec().

gh-127682: No longer call __iter__ twice when creating and executing a generator expression. Creating a generator expression from a non-interable will raise only when the generator expression is executed. This brings the behavior of generator expressions in line with other generators.

gh-132261: The internal storage for annotations and annotate functions on classes now uses different keys in the class dictionary. This eliminates various edge cases where access to the __annotate__ and __annotations__ attributes would behave unpredictably.

gh-132284: Don’t wrap base PyCFunction slots on class creation if not overridden.

gh-130415: Improve the JIT’s ability to remove unused constant and local variable loads, and fix an issue where deallocating unused values could cause JIT code to crash or behave incorrectly.

gh-126703: Fix possible use after free in cases where a method’s definition has the same lifetime as its self.

gh-132286: Fix that type.__annotate__ was not deleted, when type.__annotations__ was deleted.

gh-131798: Allow the JIT to remove an extra _TO_BOOL_BOOL instruction after _CONTAINS_OP_DICT by setting the return type to bool.

gh-124715: Prevents against stack overflows when calling Py_DECREF(). Third-party extension objects no longer need to use the “trashcan” mechanism, as protection is now built into the Py_DECREF() macro.

gh-131878: Fix support of unicode characters with two or more codepoints on Windows in the new REPL.

gh-126835: Move constant folding to the peephole optimizer. Rename AST optimization related files (Python/ast_opt.c -> Python/ast_preprocess.c), structs (_PyASTOptimizeState -> _PyASTPreprocessState) and functions (_PyAST_Optimize -> _PyAST_Preprocess, _PyCompile_AstOptimize -> _PyCompile_AstPreprocess).

gh-114809: Add support for macOS multi-arch builds with the JIT enabled

gh-131507: PyREPL now supports syntax highlighting. Contributed by Łukasz Langa.

gh-130907: If the __annotations__ of a module object are accessed while the module is executing, return the annotations that have been defined so far, without caching them.

gh-129958: Fix a bug that was allowing newlines inconsistently in format specifiers for single-quoted f-strings. Patch by Pablo Galindo.

gh-129858: elif statements that follow an else block now have a specific error message.

gh-69605: Add module autocomplete to PyREPL.

gh-128555: Add the sys.flags.thread_inherit_context flag.

• This flag is set to true by default on the free-threaded build and false otherwise. If the flag is true, starting a new thread using threading.Thread will, by default, use a copy of the contextvars.Context from the caller of threading.Thread.start() rather than using an empty context.

• Add the -X thread_inherit_context command-line option and PYTHON_THREAD_INHERIT_CONTEXT environment variable, which set the thread_inherit_context flag.

• Add the context keyword parameter to Thread. It can be used to explicitly pass a context value to be used by a new thread.

• Make the _contextvars module built-in.

gh-123539: Improve SyntaxError message for using import ... as and from ... import ... as with not a name.

gh-102567: -X importtime now accepts value 2, which indicates that an importtime entry should also be printed if an imported module has already been loaded. Patch by Noah Kim and Adam Turner.

gh-116436: Improve error message when TypeError occurs during dict.update()

gh-103997: String arguments passed to “-c” are now automatically dedented as if by textwrap.dedent(). This allows “python -c” invocations to be indented in shell scripts without causing indentation errors. (Patch by Jon Crall and Steven Sun)

gh-89562: Remove hostflags member from PySSLContext struct.

gh-133166: Fix regression where PyType_GetModuleByDef() returns NULL without setting TypeError when a static type is passed.

gh-133164: Add PyUnstable_Object_IsUniqueReferencedTemporary() function for determining if an object exists as a unique temporary variable on the interpreter’s stack. This is a replacement for some cases where checking that Py_REFCNT() is one is no longer sufficient to determine if it’s safe to modify a Python object in-place with no visible side effects.

gh-133140: Add PyUnstable_Object_IsUniquelyReferenced() as a replacement for Py_REFNCT(op) == 1 on free threaded builds of Python.

gh-131747: On non-Windows platforms, deprecate using ctypes.Structure._pack_ to use a Windows-compatible layout on non-Windows platforms. The layout should be specified explicitly by setting ctypes.Structure._layout_ to 'ms'.

gh-128972: For non-free-threaded builds, the memory layout of PyASCIIObject is reverted to match Python 3.13. (Note that the structure is not part of stable ABI and so its memory layout is guaranteed to remain stable.)

gh-133079: The undocumented APIs Py_C_RECURSION_LIMIT and PyThreadState.c_recursion_remaining, added in 3.13, are removed without a deprecation period.

gh-132987: The k and K formats in PyArg_Parse() now support the __index__() special method, like all other integer formats.

gh-112068: [Reverted in gh-136991] Add support of nullable arguments in PyArg_Parse() and similar functions. Adding ? after any format unit makes None be accepted as a value.

gh-50333: Non-tuple sequences are deprecated as argument for the (items) format unit in PyArg_ParseTuple() and other argument parsing functions if items contains format units which store a borrowed buffer or a borrowed reference.

gh-113464: Use the cpython-bin-deps “externals” repository for Windows LLVM dependency management. Installing LLVM manually is no longer necessary for Windows JIT builds.

gh-131025: Update macOS installer to ship with SQLite 3.49.1.

gh-131423: Update bundled version of OpenSSL to 3.0.16. The new build also disables uplink support, which may be relevant to embedders but has no impact on normal use.

gh-131453: Some SND_* and MB_* constants are added to winsound.

gh-91349: Replaces our copy of zlib with zlib-ng, for performance improvements in zlib.

gh-131025: Update Windows installer to ship with SQLite 3.49.1.

gh-132121: Always escape non-printable Unicode characters in pygettext.

gh-131852: msgfmt no longer adds the POT-Creation-Date to generated .mo files for consistency with GNU msgfmt.

gh-131277: Allow to unset one or more environment variables at once via EnvironmentVarGuard.unset(). Patch by Bénédikt Tran.

gh-131050: test_ssl.test_dh_params is skipped if the underlying TLS library does not support finite-field ephemeral Diffie-Hellman.

gh-131809: Update bundled libexpat to 2.7.1

gh-131261: Upgrade to libexpat 2.7.0

gh-121284: Fix bug in the folding of rfc2047 encoded-words when flattening an email message using a modern email policy. Previously when an encoded-word was too long for a line, it would be decoded, split across lines, and re-encoded. But commas and other special characters in the original text could be left unencoded and unquoted. This could theoretically be used to spoof header lines using a carefully constructed encoded-word if the resulting rendered email was transmitted or re-parsed.

gh-132174: Fix function name in error message of _interpreters.run_string.

gh-132171: Fix crash of _interpreters.run_string on string subclasses.

gh-129204: Introduce new _PYTHON_SUBPROCESS_USE_POSIX_SPAWN environment variable knob in subprocess to control the use of os.posix_spawn().

gh-132168: The ctypes.py_object type now supports subscription, making it a generic type.

gh-84481: Add the zipfile.ZipFile.data_offset attribute, which stores the offset to the beginning of ZIP data in a file when available. When the zipfile.ZipFile is opened in either mode 'w' or 'x' and the underlying file does not support tell(), the value will be None instead.

gh-132075: Fix possible use of socket address structures with uninitialized members. Now all structure members are initialized with zeroes by default.

gh-85162: The http.server module now includes built-in support for HTTPS servers exposed by http.server.HTTPSServer. This functionality is exposed by the command-line interface (python -m http.server) through the --tls-cert, --tls-key and --tls-password-file options. Patch by Semyon Moroz.

gh-129463: The implementations of equality and hashing for annotationlib.ForwardRef now use all attributes on the object. Two ForwardRef objects are equal only if all attributes are equal.

gh-128593: annotationlib.ForwardRef objects no longer cache their value when they are successfully evaluated. Successive calls to annotationlib.ForwardRef.evaluate() may return different values.

gh-117779: Fix reading duplicated entries in zipfile by name. Reading duplicated entries (except the last one) by ZipInfo now emits a warning instead of raising an exception.

gh-128715: The class of Structure/Union field descriptors is now available as CField, and has new attributes to aid debugging and introspection.

gh-128055: Fix test.test_sysconfig.test_sysconfigdata_json when running outside the build directory (eg. after installing).

gh-126037: xml.etree.ElementTree: Fix a crash in Element.find, Element.findtext and Element.findall when the tag to find implements an __eq__() method mutating the element being queried. Patch by Bénédikt Tran.

gh-127794: When headers are added to email.message.Message objects, either through email.message.Message.__setitem__() or email.message.Message.add_header(), the field name is now validated according to RFC 5322, Section 2.2 and a ValueError is raised if the field name contains any invalid characters.

gh-125413: Ensure the path returned from pathlib.Path.copy() or move() has fresh info.

gh-65697: stdlib configparser will now attempt to validate that keys it writes will not result in file corruption (creating a file unable to be accurately parsed by a future read() call from the same parser). Attempting a corrupting write() will raise an InvalidWriteError.

gh-125413: Speed up Path.copy by making better use of info internally.

gh-130285: Fix corner case for random.sample() allowing the counts parameter to specify an empty population. So now, sample([], 0, counts=[]) and sample('abc', k=0, counts=[0, 0, 0]) both give the same result as sample([], 0).

gh-124703: Executing quit command in pdb will raise bdb.BdbQuit when pdb is started from an interactive console using breakpoint() or pdb.set_trace().

gh-124927: Non-printing characters are now properly handled in the new REPL.

gh-124096: Turn on virtual terminal mode and enable bracketed paste in REPL on Windows console. (If the terminal does not support bracketed paste, enabling it does nothing.)

gh-89083: Add uuid.uuid7() for generating UUIDv7 objects as specified in RFC 9562. Patch by Bénédikt Tran.

gh-89083: Add uuid.uuid6() for generating UUIDv6 objects as specified in RFC 9562. Patch by Bénédikt Tran.

gh-117151: Increase io.DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE from 8k to 128k and adjust open() on platforms where os.fstat() provides a st_blksize field (such as Linux) to use max(min(blocksize, 8 MiB), io.DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE) rather than always using the device block size. This should improve I/O performance. Patch by Romain Morotti.

gh-105499: Make types.UnionType an alias for typing.Union. Both int | str and Union[int, str] now create instances of the same type. Patch by Jelle Zijlstra.

gh-93096: Document the command-line for mimetypes. It now exits with 1 on failure instead of 0 and 2 on incorrect command-line parameters instead of 1. Also, errors are printed to stderr instead of stdout and their text is made tighter. Patch by Oleg Iarygin and Hugo van Kemenade.

gh-125722: Require Sphinx 8.2.0 or later to build the Python documentation. Patch by Adam Turner.

gh-129712: The wheel tags supported by each macOS universal SDK option are now documented.

gh-46236: C API: Document PyUnicode_RSplit(), PyUnicode_Partition() and PyUnicode_RPartition().

gh-131141: Fix data race in sys.monitoring instrumentation while registering callback.

gh-130804: Fix support of unicode characters on Windows in the new REPL.

gh-130932: Fix incorrect exception handling in _PyModule_IsPossiblyShadowing

gh-122029: sys.setprofile() and sys.settrace() will not generate a c_call event for INSTRUMENTED_CALL_FUNCTION_EX if the callable is a method with a C function wrapped, because we do not generate c_return event in such case.

gh-129964: Fix JIT crash on Windows on Arm. Patch by Diego Russo and Brandt Bucher.

gh-130851: Fix a crash in the free threading build when constructing a code object with co_consts that contains instances of types that are not otherwise generated by the bytecode compiler.

gh-128534: Ensure that both left and right branches have the same source for async for loops. Add these branches to the co_branches() iterator.

gh-130794: Fix memory leak in the free threaded build when resizing a shared list or dictionary from multiple short-lived threads.

gh-130415: Improve JIT understanding of integers in boolean context.

gh-130382: Fix PyRefTracer_DESTROY not being sent from Python/ceval.c Py_DECREF().

gh-130574: Renumber RESUME from 149 to 128.

gh-124878: Fix race conditions during runtime finalization that could lead to accessing freed memory.

gh-130415: Improve the experimental JIT’s ability to narrow boolean values based on the results of truthiness tests.

gh-130618: Fix a bug that was causing UnicodeDecodeError or SystemError to be raised when using f-strings with lambda expressions with non-ASCII characters. Patch by Pablo Galindo

gh-123044: Make sure that the location of branch targets in match cases is in the body, not the pattern.

gh-128534: Add branch monitoring (BRANCH_LEFT and BRANCH_RIGHT events) for async for loops.

gh-130163: Fix possible crashes related to concurrent change and use of the sys module attributes.

gh-122029: INSTRUMENTED_CALL_KW will expand the method before monitoring to reflect the actual behavior more accurately.

gh-130415: Improve JIT’s ability to optimize strings in boolean contexts.

gh-130396: Use actual stack limits (from pthread_getattr_np(3)) for linux, and other systems with _GNU_SOURCE defined, when determining limits for C stack protection.

gh-128396: Fix a crash that occurs when calling locals() inside an inline comprehension that uses the same local variable as the outer frame scope where the variable is a free or cell var.

gh-129107: Fix two more bytearray functions for free threading.

gh-127705: Use tagged references (_PyStackRef) for the default build as well as for the free-threading build. This has a small negative performance impact short-term but will enable larger speedups in the future and significantly reduce maintenance costs by allowing a single implementation of tagged references in the future.

gh-130094: Fix two race conditions involving concurrent imports that could lead to spurious failures with ModuleNotFoundError.

gh-129107: Make bytearray iterator safe under free threading.

gh-115802: Use the more efficient “medium” code model for JIT-compiled code on supported platforms.

gh-107956: A build-details.json file is now install in the platform-independent standard library directory (PEP 739 implementation).

gh-116042: Fix location for SyntaxErrors of invalid escapes in the tokenizer. Patch by Pablo Galindo

gh-91079: Change C stack overflow protection to consider the amount of stack consumed, rather than a counter. This allows deeper recursion in many cases, but remains safe.

gh-129715: Improve the experimental JIT’s handling of returns to unknown callers.

gh-129983: Fix data race in compile_template in sre.c.

gh-129967: Fix a race condition in the free threading build when repr(set) is called concurrently with set.clear().

gh-129953: The internal (evaluation) stack is now spilled to memory whenever execution escapes from the interpreter or JIT compiled code. This should have no observable effect in either Python or builtin extensions, but will allow various important optimizations in the future.

gh-129515: Clarify syntax error messages for conditional expressions when a statement is specified before an if or after an else keyword.

gh-129349: bytes.fromhex() and bytearray.fromhex() now accepts ASCII bytes and bytes-like objects.

gh-129149: Add fast path for medium-size integers in PyLong_FromSsize_t(). Patch by Chris Eibl.

gh-129107: Make the bytearray safe under free threading.

gh-128974: Fix a crash in UnicodeError.__str__ when custom attributes implement __str__() with side-effects. Patch by Bénédikt Tran.

gh-126085: typing.TypeAliasType now supports star unpacking.

gh-125331: from __future__ import barry_as_FLUFL now works in more contexts, including when it is used in files, with the -c flag, and in the REPL when there are multiple statements on the same line. Previously, it worked only on subsequent lines in the REPL, and when the appropriate flags were passed directly to compile(). Patch by Pablo Galindo.

gh-121464: Make concurrent iterations over the same enumerate() iterator safe under free-threading. See Strategy for Iterators in Free Threading.

gh-87790: Support underscore and comma as thousands separators in the fractional part for floating-point presentation types of the new-style string formatting (with format() or f-strings). Patch by Sergey B Kirpichev.

gh-124445: Fix specialization of generic aliases that are generic over a typing.ParamSpec and have been specialized with a nested type variable.

gh-120608: Adapt reversed() for use in the free-threading build. The reversed() is still not thread-safe in the sense that concurrent iterations may see the same object, but they will not corrupt the interpreter state.

gh-100388: Fix the platform._sys_version() method when __DATE__ is undefined at buildtime by changing default buildtime datetime string to the UNIX epoch.

bpo-44369: Improve syntax errors for incorrectly closed strings. Patch by Pablo Galindo

gh-131035: Use -flto=thin for faster build times using clang-cl on Windows. Patch by Chris Eibl.

gh-130740: Ensure that Python.h is included before stdbool.h unless pyconfig.h is included before or in some platform-specific contexts.

gh-130090: Building with PlatformToolset=ClangCL on Windows now supports PGO (profile guided optimization). Patch by Chris Eibl with invaluable support from Steve Dover.

gh-129819: Allow building the JIT with the tailcall interpreter.

gh-129989: Fix a bug where the tailcall interpreter was enabled when --without-tail-call-interp was provided to the configure script.

gh-129838: Don’t redefine _Py_NO_SANITIZE_UNDEFINED when compiling with a recent GCC version and undefined sanitizer enabled.

gh-82909: #pragma-based linking with python3*.lib can now be switched off with Py_NO_LINK_LIB. Patch by Jean-Christophe Fillion-Robin.

gh-91132: Update macOS installer to use ncurses 6.5.

gh-129248: The iOS test runner now strips the log prefix from each line output by the test suite.

gh-104400: Fix several bugs in extraction by switching to an AST parser in pygettext.

gh-129386: Add test.support.reset_code, which can be used to reset various bytecode-level optimizations and local instrumentation for a function.

gh-128474: Disable test_embed test cases that segfault on BOLT instrument binaries. The tests are only disabled when BOLT is enabled.

gh-128003: Add an option --parallel-threads=N to the regression test runner that runs individual tests in multiple threads in parallel in order to find concurrency bugs. Note that most of the test suite is not yet reviewed for thread-safety or annotated with @thread_unsafe when necessary.

gh-105704: When using urllib.parse.urlsplit() and urllib.parse.urlparse() host parsing would not reject domain names containing square brackets ([ and ]). Square brackets are only valid for IPv6 and IPvFuture hosts according to RFC 3986 Section 3.2.2.

gh-126108: Fix a possible NULL pointer dereference in PySys_AddWarnOptionUnicode().

gh-80222: Fix bug in the folding of quoted strings when flattening an email message using a modern email policy. Previously when a quoted string was folded so that it spanned more than one line, the surrounding quotes and internal escapes would be omitted. This could theoretically be used to spoof header lines using a carefully constructed quoted string if the resulting rendered email was transmitted or re-parsed.

gh-119511: Fix a potential denial of service in the imaplib module. When connecting to a malicious server, it could cause an arbitrary amount of memory to be allocated. On many systems this is harmless as unused virtual memory is only a mapping, but if this hit a virtual address size limit it could lead to a MemoryError or other process crash. On unusual systems or builds where all allocated memory is touched and backed by actual ram or storage it could’ve consumed resources doing so until similarly crashing.

gh-129939: Comparison pages with highlighted changes generated by the difflib.HtmlDiff class now support dark mode.

gh-129928: Raise sqlite3.ProgrammingError if a user-defined SQL function with invalid number of parameters is created. Patch by Erlend Aasland.
