======================
+* A :keyword:`continue` statement was illegal in the :keyword:`finally` clause
+ due to a problem with the implementation. In Python 3.8 this restriction
+ was lifted.
+ (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in :issue:`32489`.)
+
* Added support of ``\N{name}`` escapes in :mod:`regular expressions <re>`.
(Contributed by Jonathan Eunice and Serhiy Storchaka in :issue:`30688`.)
