bpo-34588: Fix an off-by-one error in traceback formatting.

2018-09-10T05:26:27+00:00

The recursive frame pruning code always undercounted the number of elided frames
by one. That is, in the "[Previous line repeated N more times]" message, N would
always be one too few. Near the recursive pruning cutoff, one frame could be
silently dropped. That situation is demonstrated in the OP of the bug report.

The fix is to start the identical frame counter at 1.

bpo-20104: Change the file_actions parameter of os.posix_spawn(). (GH-6725)

2018-09-08T11:48:18+00:00

* Make its default value an empty tuple instead of None.
* Make it a keyword-only parameter.

bpo-33083: Update "What's new" with math.factorial changes (GH-9109)

2018-09-07T23:16:17+00:00

* Add elimination of non-int-like parameters in math.factorial to "What's new".

bpo-34246: Make sure test_smtplib always cleans resources when finished (GH-9108)

2018-09-07T23:15:22+00:00

* Make sure that when some of the tests in test_smtplib fail, the allocated threads
and sockets are not leaked. 

* Use support.join_thread() instead of thread.join() to avoid infinite blocks.

bpo-34246: Use no mutable default args in smtplib (GH-8554)

2018-09-07T22:04:48+00:00

Some methods of the SMTP class use mutable default arguments. Specially
`send_message` is affected as it mutates one of the args by appending items
to it, which has side effects on further calls.

bpo-23855: Add missing NULL checks for malloc() in _msi.c (GH-9038)

2018-09-07T22:02:56+00:00

2018-09-07T17:10:39+00:00

Pass the user/group name as Unicode to the formatting function,
instead of always decoding a bytes string from UTF-8.

2018-09-07T16:13:10+00:00

bpo-34595: Add %T format to PyUnicode_FromFormatV() (GH-9080)

2018-09-07T16:00:58+00:00

* Add %T format to PyUnicode_FromFormatV(), and so to
  PyUnicode_FromFormat() and PyErr_Format(), to format an object type
  name: equivalent to "%s" with Py_TYPE(obj)->tp_name.
* Replace Py_TYPE(obj)->tp_name with %T format in unicodeobject.c.
* Add unit test on %T format.
* Rename unicode_fromformat_write_cstr() to
  unicode_fromformat_write_utf8(), to make the intent more explicit.
