A fix for bpo-17560 (about passing very large objects between processes with multiprocessing) was merged in Nov 2018 in this PR: https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/10305

However, I see no mention of this in the changelog , even though the issue page reports the fix to be in version 3.8. Is the changelog just missing entry for this, or was the fix pulled back later and never made it's way into 3.8?

It looks like the NEWS item for this change was added to the 3.8.0a1 changes under bpo-35152 which was closed as a duplicate of bpo-17560.  We could change the changelog entry in Misc/NEWS.d/3.8.0a1.rst to point to bpo-17560.  Antoine?

bpo-35152: Allow sending more than 2 GB at once on a multiprocessing connection on non-Windows systems.
