+****************************
+ 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 :source:`Misc/NEWS` file.
+
+.. 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.
+
