The version of OpenSSL used in our binary builds has been upgraded to 1.1.1u
to address several CVEs.

Refresh our new HACL* built-in :mod:`hashlib` code from upstream. Built-in
SHA2 should be faster and an issue with SHA3 on 32-bit platforms is fixed.

.. nonce: J4wJgk
.. section: Core and Builtins

Restore the ability for a subclass of :class:`property` to define
``__slots__`` or otherwise be dict-less by ignoring failures to set a
docstring on such a class.  This behavior had regressed in 3.12beta1.  An
:exc:`AttributeError` where there had not previously been one was disruptive
to existing code.

Attributes of :mod:`ast` nodes that are lists now default to the empty list
if omitted. This means that some code that previously raised
:exc:`TypeError` when the AST node was used will now proceed with the empty

Starting new threads and process creation through :func:`os.fork` during
interpreter shutdown (such as from :mod:`atexit` handlers) is no longer
supported.  It can lead to race condition between the main Python runtime
thread freeing thread states while internal :mod:`threading` routines are
trying to allocate and use the state of just created threads. Or forked
children trying to use the mid-shutdown runtime and thread state in the
child process.

.. section: Library

Fix a recent regression in the :mod:`typing` module. The regression meant
that doing ``class Foo(X, typing.Protocol)``, where ``X`` was a class that
had :class:`abc.ABCMeta` as its metaclass, would then cause subsequent
``isinstance(1, X)`` calls to erroneously raise :exc:`TypeError`. Patch by
Alex Waygood.

On Linux where :mod:`subprocess` can use the ``vfork()`` syscall for faster
spawning, prevent the parent process from blocking other threads by dropping
the GIL while it waits for the vfork'ed child process ``exec()`` outcome.
This prevents spawning a binary from a slow filesystem from blocking the
rest of the application.

When installed from the Microsoft Store, ``pip`` no longer defaults to

Don't call :c:var:`PyOS_InputHook` or :c:var:`PyOS_ReadlineFunctionPointer`
in subinterpreters, since it's generally difficult to avoid using global
state in their registered callbacks. This also avoids situations where
extensions may find themselves running in a subinterpreter they don't
support (or haven't yet been loaded in).
