+.. XXX: Add a section describing new feature added to datetime module
+
+ * The :mod:`datetime` received several new features including
+
+ - A new type, :class:`timezone` that implements :class:`tzinfo`
+ interface by returning fixed UTC offset and timezone name. This
+ makes it easier to create aware :class:datetime` objects::
+
+ >>> datetime.datetime.now(datetime.timezone.utc)
+ datetime.datetime(2010, 12, 8, 21, 4, 2, 923754, tzinfo=datetime.timezone.utc)
+
+ >>> datetime.datetime.strptime("01/01/2000 12:00 +0000", "%m/%d/%Y %H:%M %z")
+ datetime.datetime(2000, 1, 1, 12, 0, tzinfo=datetime.timezone.utc)
+
+ (See :issue:`5094` and :issue:`6641`.)
+
+ - :class: timedelta objects can now be multiplied by float and
+ divided by float and int objects.
+
+ (See :issue:`1289118`.)

* The :mod:`nntplib` module gets a revamped implementation with better bytes and
unicode semantics as well as more practical APIs. These improvements break
compatibility with the nntplib version in Python 3.1, which was partly
