    - Issue #25745: Fixed leaking a userptr in curses panel destructor.
    - Issue #17765: weakref.ref() no longer silently ignores keyword arguments.
    - Issue #26873: xmlrpclib now raises ResponseError on unsupported type tags

    - Issue #24114: Fix an uninitialized variable in `ctypes.util`.
    - Issue #26864: In urllib, change the proxy bypass host checking against
      no_proxy to be case-insensitive, and to not match unrelated host names
      that happen to have a bypassed hostname as a suffix.
    - Issue #26804: urllib will prefer lower_case proxy environment variables
      over UPPER_CASE or Mixed_Case ones.
    - Issue #26837: assertSequenceEqual() now correctly outputs non-stringified
      differing items.  This affects assertListEqual() and assertTupleEqual().
    - Issue #26822: itemgetter, attrgetter and methodcaller objects no longer
      silently ignore keyword arguments.
    - Issue #26657: Fix directory traversal vulnerability with SimpleHTTPServer
      on Windows.  This fixes a regression that was introduced in 2.7.7.
    - Issue #26736: Used HTTPS for external links in the documentation if
      possible.
    - Issue #22359: Avoid incorrect recursive $(MAKE), and disable the rules for
      running pgen when cross-compiling.
    - Issue #26799: Fix python-gdb.py: don't get C types once when the Python
      code is loaded, but get C types on demand. The C types can change if
      python-gdb.py is loaded before the Python executable.
  * Fix issue #26673, runtime error in idle3. LP: #1578927.
