+****************************
+ What's New In Python 3.7
+****************************
+
+:Release: |release|
+:Date: |today|
+
+.. Rules for maintenance:
+
+ * Anyone can add text to this document. Do not spend very much time
+ on the wording of your changes, because your text will probably
+ get rewritten to some degree.
+
+ * The maintainer will go through Misc/NEWS periodically and add
+ changes; it's therefore more important to add your changes to
+ Misc/NEWS than to this file.
+
+ * This is not a complete list of every single change; completeness
+ is the purpose of Misc/NEWS. Some changes I consider too small
+ or esoteric to include. If such a change is added to the text,
+ I'll just remove it. (This is another reason you shouldn't spend
+ too much time on writing your addition.)
+
+ * If you want to draw your new text to the attention of the
+ maintainer, add 'XXX' to the beginning of the paragraph or
+ section.
+
+ * It's OK to just add a fragmentary note about a change. For
+ example: "XXX Describe the transmogrify() function added to the
+ socket module." The maintainer will research the change and
+ write the necessary text.
+
+ * You can comment out your additions if you like, but it's not
+ necessary (especially when a final release is some months away).
+
+ * Credit the author of a patch or bugfix. Just the name is
+ sufficient; the e-mail address isn't necessary.
+
+ * It's helpful to add the bug/patch number as a comment:
+
+ XXX Describe the transmogrify() function added to the socket
+ module.
+ (Contributed by P.Y. Developer in :issue:`12345`.)
+
+ This saves the maintainer the effort of going through the Mercurial log
+ when researching a change.
+
+This article explains the new features in Python 3.7, compared to 3.6.
+
+For full details, see the :ref:`changelog <changelog>`.
+
+.. note::
+
+ Prerelease users should be aware that this document is currently in draft
+ form. It will be updated substantially as Python 3.7 moves towards release,
+ so it's worth checking back even after reading earlier versions.
+
+
+Summary -- Release highlights
+=============================
+
+.. This section singles out the most important changes in Python 3.7.
+ Brevity is key.
+
+
+.. PEP-sized items next.
+
+
+
+New Features
+============
+
+
+
+Other Language Changes
+======================
+
+* More than 255 arguments can now be passed to a function, and a function can
+ now have more than 255 parameters.
+ (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in :issue:`12844` and :issue:`18896`.)
+
+* :meth:`bytes.fromhex` and :meth:`bytearray.fromhex` now ignore all ASCII
+ whitespace, not only spaces.
+ (Contributed by Robert Xiao in :issue:`28927`.)
+
+
+New Modules
+===========
+
+* None yet.
+
+
+Improved Modules
+================
+
+
+Optimizations
+=============
+
+* Added two new opcodes: ``LOAD_METHOD`` and ``CALL_METHOD`` to avoid
+ instantiation of bound method objects for method calls, which results
+ in method calls being faster up to 20%.
+ (Contributed by Yury Selivanov and INADA Naoki in :issue:`26110`.)
+
+
+Build and C API Changes
+=======================
+
+* A full copy of libffi is no longer bundled for use when building the
+ :mod:`_ctypes <ctypes>` module on non-OSX UNIX platforms. An installed copy
+ of libffi is now required when building ``_ctypes`` on such platforms.
+ Contributed by Zachary Ware in :issue:`27979`.
+
+* The fields :c:member:`name` and :c:member:`doc` of structures
+ :c:type:`PyMemberDef`, :c:type:`PyGetSetDef`,
+ :c:type:`PyStructSequence_Field`, :c:type:`PyStructSequence_Desc`,
+ and :c:type:`wrapperbase` are now of type ``const char *`` rather of
+ ``char *``. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in :issue:`28761`.)
+
+
+Deprecated
+==========
+
+
+
+Removed
+=======
+
+API and Feature Removals
+------------------------
+
+* Unknown escapes consisting of ``'\'`` and an ASCII letter in replacement
+ templates for :func:`re.sub` will now cause an error.
+
+
+Porting to Python 3.7
+=====================
+
+This section lists previously described changes and other bugfixes
+that may require changes to your code.
