New, Improved, and Deprecated Modules
=====================================
+* The previously deprecated :func:`contextlib.nested` function has been
+ removed in favor of a plain :keyword:`with` statement which can
+ accept multiple context managers. The latter technique is faster
+ (because it is built-in), and it does a better job finalizing multiple
+ context managers when one of them raises an exception.
+
+ (Contributed by Georg Brandl and Mattias Brändström;
+ `appspot issue 53094 <http://codereview.appspot.com/53094>`_.)
+
* The :class:`ftplib.FTP` class now supports the context manager protocol
(Contributed by Tarek Ziadé and Giampaolo Rodolà; :issue:`4972`.)
+* The :func:`shutil.copytree` function has two new options:
+
+ * *ignore_dangling_symlinks*: when ``symlinks=False`` (meaning that the
+ function copies the file pointed to by the symlink, not the symlink
+ itself) this option will silence the error thrown if the file doesn't
+ exist.
+
+ * *copy_function*: a callable that will be used to copy files.
+ :func:`shutil.copy2` is used by default.
+
+ (Contributed by Tarek Ziadé.)
+
+* The *sqlite3* module has some new features:
+
+ * XXX *enable_load_extension*
+
+ * XXX *load_extension*
+
+ * New :class:`~sqlite3.Connection` attribute
+ :attr:`~sqlite3.Connection.in_transaction` is :const:`True` when there
+ are uncommitted changes, and :const:`False` otherwise. (Contributed
+ by R. David Murray and Shashwat Anand, :issue:`8845`.)
+
* The :mod:`ssl` module has a new class, :class:`~ssl.SSLContext` which
serves as a container for various persistent SSL data, such as protocol
settings, certificates, private keys, and various other options.
