+- Issue #9005: Prevent utctimetuple() from producing year 0 or year
+  10,000.  Prior to this change, timezone adjustment in utctimetuple()
+  could produce tm_year value of 0 or 10,000.  Now an OverflowError is

 - Issue #6641: The ``datetime.strptime`` method now supports the
   ``%z`` directive.  When the ``%z`` directive is present in the
   format string, an aware ``datetime`` object is returned with
