sysconfig.get_config_vars() incorrectly having the same
value as sys.base_prefix and sys.base_exec_prefix,
respectively, inside virtual environments. They now
accurately reflect sys.prefix and sys.exec_prefix.
- gh-67877: Fix memory leaks when regular expression matching

expressions with character classes containing non-BMP
characters: upper-case non-BMP character did was ignored
and the ASCII flag was ignored when matching a character
range whose upper bound is beyond the BMP region.
- gh-117378: Fixed the multiprocessing "forkserver"
start method forkserver process to correctly inherit
the parent’s sys.path during the importing of
multiprocessing.set_forkserver_preload() modules in the
same manner as sys.path is configured in workers before
executing work items.
- This bug caused some forkserver module preloading to
silently fail to preload. This manifested as a performance
degration in child processes when the sys.path was required
due to additional repeated work in every worker.
- It could also have a side effect of "" remaining in
sys.path during forkserver preload imports instead of the
absolute path from os.getcwd() at multiprocessing import
time used in the worker sys.path.
- The sys.path differences between phases in the child
process could potentially have caused preload to import
incorrect things from the wrong location. We are unaware of
that actually having happened in practice.
- gh-125679: The multiprocessing.Lock and
multiprocessing.RLock repr values no longer say “unknown”
on macOS.
- gh-126476: Raise calendar.IllegalMonthError (now a subclass

fetch directory children and their file attributes. This is
a trivial wrapper of os.scandir().
- gh-125984: Fix use-after-free crashes on asyncio.Future
objects for which the underlying event loop implements an
evil __getattribute__(). Reported by Nico-Posada. Patch by
Bénédikt Tran.
- gh-125926: Fix urllib.parse.urljoin() for base URI with
undefined authority. Although RFC 3986 only specify
reference resolution for absolute base URI, urljoin()
should continue to return sensible result for relative base
URI.
- gh-125969: Fix an out-of-bounds crash when an evil
asyncio.loop.call_soon() mutates the length of the internal
callbacks list. Patch by Bénédikt Tran.
- gh-125966: Fix a use-after-free crash in
asyncio.Future.remove_done_callback(). Patch by Bénédikt

Python documentation. Patch by Adam Turner.
- gh-60712: Include the object type in the lists of
documented types. Change by Furkan Onder and Martin Panter.
- Core and Builtins
- gh-126795: Increase the threshold for JIT code
warmup. Depending on platform and workload, this can result
in performance gains of 1-9% and memory savings of 3-5%.

debug mode.
- gh-126012: The memoryview type now supports subscription,
making it a generic type.
- gh-125837: Adds LOAD_SMALL_INT and LOAD_CONST_IMMORTAL
instructions. LOAD_SMALL_INT pushes a small integer equal
to the oparg to the stack. LOAD_CONST_IMMORTAL does the
same as LOAD_CONST but is more efficient for immortal
objects. Removes RETURN_CONST instruction.
- gh-125942: On Android, the errors setting of sys.stdout was
changed from surrogateescape to backslashreplace.

attribute lookup to give the wrong value. This was
due to an incorrect specialization in very specific
circumstances. This is fixed in 3.14.0a2.
- gh-125498: The JIT has been updated to leverage Clang 19’s
new preserve_none attribute, which supports more platforms
and is more useful than LLVM’s existing ghccc calling
convention. This also removes the need to manually patch
the calling convention in LLVM IR, simplifying the JIT
compilation process.

active at the same time. Patch by Pablo Galindo
- gh-123714: Update JIT compilation to use LLVM 19
- gh-123930: Improve the error message when a script
shadowing a module from the standard library causes
ImportError to be raised during a “from” import. Similarly,
improve the error message when a script shadowing a third
party module attempts to “from” import an attribute from
that third party module while still initialising.
- gh-119793: The map() built-in now has an optional
keyword-only strict flag like zip() to check that all the
iterables are of equal length. Patch by Wannes Boeykens.
- gh-118950: Fix bug where SSLProtocol.connection_lost wasn’t
getting called when OSError was thrown on writing to
socket.
- gh-113570: Fixed a bug in reprlib.repr where it incorrectly
called the repr method on shadowed Python built-in types.
- C API
- gh-126554: Fix error handling in ctypes.CDLL objects which
could result in a crash in rare situations.
- gh-126061: Add PyLong_IsPositive(), PyLong_IsNegative() and
PyLong_IsZero() for checking if a PyLongObject is positive,
negative, or zero, respectively.
- gh-125608: Fix a bug where dictionary watchers
(e.g., PyDict_Watch()) on an object’s attribute dictionary
(__dict__) were not triggered when the object’s attributes
were modified.
- gh-123619: Added the
PyUnstable_Object_EnableDeferredRefcount() function for
enabling PEP 703 deferred reference counting.
- gh-121654: Add PyType_Freeze() function to make a type
immutable. Patch by Victor Stinner.
- gh-120026: The Py_HUGE_VAL macro is soft deprecated.
- Build
- gh-126691: Removed the --with-emscripten-target configure
flag. We unified the node and browser options and the same
build can now be used, independent of target runtime.
- gh-123877: Use wasm32-wasip1 as the target triple for
WASI instead of wasm32-wasi. The latter will eventually
be reclaimed for WASI 1.0 while CPython currently only
supports WASI preview1.
- gh-126458: Disable SIMD support for HACL under WASI.
- gh-89640: Hard-code float word ordering as little endian on
WASM.
- gh-126206: make clinic now runs Argument Clinic using the
--force option, thus forcefully regenerating generated
code.
- gh-126187: Introduced Tools/wasm/emscripten.py to simplify
doing Emscripten builds.
- gh-124932: For cross builds, there is now support for
having a different install prefix than the host_prefix used
by getpath.py. This is set to / by default for Emscripten,
on other platforms the default behavior is the same as
before.
- gh-125946: The minimum supported Android version is now 7.0
(API level 24).
- gh-125940: The Android build now supports 16 KB page sizes.

PyPy's, featuring multi-line editing and color support, as
well as colorized exception tracebacks.
