- is supplied, then the output of the ``XGTITLE`` command is stored in a file.

Removed
=======
+* :class:`nntplib.NNTP`: ``xpath()`` and ``xgtitle()`` methods have been removed.
+ These methods are deprecated since Python 3.3. Generally, these extensions
+ are not supported or not enabled by NNTP server administrators.
+ For ``xgtitle()``, please use :meth:`nntplib.NNTP.descriptions` or
+ :meth:`nntplib.NNTP.description` instead.
+ (Contributed by Dong-hee Na in :issue:`39366`.)

* :class:`array.array`: ``tostring()`` and ``fromstring()`` methods have been
removed. They were aliases to ``tobytes()`` and ``frombytes()``, deprecated
since Python 3.2.
