Core and Builtins
-----------------
+- Issue #5920: For float.__format__, change the behavior with the
+ empty presentation type (that is, not one of 'e', 'f', 'g', or 'n')
+ to be like 'g' but with at least one decimal point and with a
+ default precision of 12. Previously, the behavior the same but with
+ a default precision of 6. This more closely matches str(), and
+ reduces surprises when adding alignment flags to the empty
+ presentation type. This also affects the new complex.__format__ in
+ the same way.
+
- Issue #5890: in subclasses of 'property' the __doc__ attribute was
shadowed by classtype's, even if it was None. property now
inserts the __doc__ into the subclass instance __dict__.
