+  future reinitialization.
+
+- Issue #8052: The posix subprocess module would take a long time closing
+  all possible file descriptors in the child process rather than just open
+  file descriptors.  It now closes only the open fds if possible for the
+  default close_fds=True behavior.
+
+- Issue #13629: Renumber the tokens in token.h so that they match the indexes
+  into _PyParser_TokenNames.
+
+- Fix the fix for issue #12149: it was incorrect, although it had the side

+  Python 2 when using protocols <= 2.

+  an invalid integer value.

+- Issue #12911: Fix memory consumption when calculating the repr() of huge
+  tuples or lists.
+
+- Issue #7732: Don't open a directory as a file anymore while importing a
+  module. Ignore the direcotry if its name matchs the module name (e.g.
+  "__init__.py") and raise a ImportError instead.
+
+- Issue #13021: Missing decref on an error path.  Thanks to Suman Saha for
+  finding the bug and providing a patch.
+
+- Issue #12973: Fix overflow checks that relied on undefined behaviour in

+  mapped to POSIX errno ENOTDIR (previously EINVAL).
