What no mention of math.tau? It's a PEP-level change!

elprans · 2016-11-08T14:41:37Z

The page is a work-in-progress. We'll surely capture all notable changes.

vstinner · 2016-11-08T14:45:24Z

Holy cow, I missed the PEP-628.

I'm actually working on a tool that parses Misc/NEWS, cpython and peps repos, and roundup to gather and organize the changes to make the news editor's job easier.

I don't understand why developers don't do it during the cycle :-/ I'm
trying to keep What's Up In Python X.Y? up to date.

+The disassembler now decodes ``FORMAT_VALUE`` argument.
+(Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in :issue:`28317`.)

FORMAT_VALUE is new in 3.6. This change should be considered as a part of PEP-498 and is not deserve special mentioning.

elprans · 2016-11-10T20:35:43Z

Thanks Serhiy. I removed mentions of things that were indeed fixes backported to 3.5. Other issue references are valid news, including new features to provisional modules backported to 3.5. It is customary to include these in the news for the major release.

I spotted a small typo in the "PEP-495: Local Time Disambiguation" section: "The values of the fold attribute have the value 0 all instances ..." should be "The values of the fold attribute have the value 0 *for* all instances ..."

ned-deily · 2016-11-12T22:49:14Z

There are now a few markup errors that the Docs buildbots are catching. See, for example:

http://buildbot.python.org/all/builders/Docs%203.x/builds/2849

1st1 · 2016-11-12T22:52:48Z

I'll go through whatsnew on Monday, fixing errors etc.

ilevkivskyi · 2016-11-13T15:30:16Z

Thank you Yury and Elvis for working on this!

I have few more suggestions for What's New:

collections.abc.Reversible (http://bugs.python.org/issue25987).
various ABCs in collections.abc now have means for explicit "anti-registration" by setting a corresponding attribute to None (http://bugs.python.org/issue25958, https://docs.python.org/3.6/reference/datamodel.html#special-method-names).
implementation improvements (such as caching of generic types) in typing module give up to 30x seep-up and reduce memory footprint.
typing.py now supports generic type aliases (Revamped generic class behavior to conform to updated PEP 484 typing#195 and Refactor Union, Tuple, and Callable typing#308, see mypy docs for usage examples).
typing.py supports PEP-526 syntax for typed NamedTuple (New backward-compatible NamedTuple typing#282).

(I see that there are already several items about typing, so please feel free to keep only the most important changes.)

methane · 2016-11-22T04:55:38Z

I added -VV option to python command (bpo-28532).
Which section should I add the entry about it?

elprans · 2016-11-22T14:28:16Z

https://docs.python.org/3.6/whatsnew/3.6.html#changes-in-python-command-behavior seems appropriate.

elprans · 2016-11-22T14:41:53Z

On second thought -VV isn't really a porting change, so probably a new section under "Build and C API Changes". Something like "Other Improvements".

serhiy-storchaka · 2016-11-26T18:27:53Z

Please take a look at bpo-28810. Most bytecode changes are not documented.

elprans · 2016-11-26T20:10:11Z

Here's a patch to add opcode changes to the What's New document. Thanks for pointing this out Serhiy.

serhiy-storchaka · 2016-11-26T20:25:44Z

LGTM. Thanks Elvis!

[cherrypicked for 3.6.0r2]

gvanrossum · 2017-01-23T01:55:47Z

Can this be closed (since 3.6 has been released)? Or is there still more you'd like to do specifically to complete this issue?

elprans · 2017-01-23T03:07:26Z

I'm pretty sure we're done with What's New for 3.6.0, so, unless it's worth keeping this open for any 3.6.x edits, I'm for closing this.

ned-deily · 2017-01-23T04:13:12Z

I don't see any reason to keep this open. Thanks so much, Elvis and Yury, for doing such a great job again!
