+* The result of splitting a string on a :mod:`regular expression <re>`
+ that could match an empty string has been changed. For example
+ splitting on ``r'\s*'`` will now split not only on whitespaces as it
+ did previously, but also between any pair of non-whitespace
+ characters. The previous behavior can be restored by changing the pattern
+ to ``r'\s+'``. A :exc:`FutureWarning` was emitted for such patterns since
+ Python 3.5.
+
+ For patterns that match both empty and non-empty strings, the result of
+ searching for all matches may also be changed in other cases. For example
+ in the string ``'a\n\n'``, the pattern ``r'(?m)^\s*?$'`` will not only
+ match empty strings at positions 2 and 3, but also the string ``'\n'`` at
+ positions 2--3. To match only blank lines, the pattern should be rewritten
+ as ``r'(?m)^[^\S\n]*$'``.

recent to be more consistent with :mod:`traceback`.
