+* Issue #12326: On Linux, sys.platform doesn't contain the major version
+ anymore. It is now always 'linux', instead of 'linux2' or 'linux3' depending
+ on the Linux version used to build Python. Replace sys.platform == 'linux2'
+ with sys.platform.startswith('linux'), or directly sys.platform == 'linux' if
+ you don't need to support older Python versions.
.. Issue #11591: When :program:`python` was started with :option:`-S`,
``import site`` will not add site-specific paths to the module search
