  - Library
    - gh-136170: Removed the unreleased
      zipfile.ZipFile.data_offset property added in 3.14.0a7 as
      it wasn’t fully clear which behavior it should have in some

Notes for packagers of Python3
==============================
0. Faster build turnaround
--------------------------
By default, python builds with profile-guided optimization. This needs
an additional run of the test suite and it is generally slow.
PGO build takes around 50 minutes.
For development, use "--without profileopt" option to disable PGO. This
shortens the build time to ~5 minutes including test suite.
1. import_failed.map
----------------------
This is a mechanism installed as part of python3-base, that places shim modules
on python's path (through a generated zzzz-import-failed-hooks.pth file, so that
it is imported as much at the end as makes sense; and an _import_failed subdir
of /usr/lib/pythonX.Y). Then when the user tries to import a module that is part
of a subpackage, the ImportError will contain a helpful message telling them
which missing subpackage to install.
This can sometimes cause problems on non-standard configurations, if the pth
gets included too early (for instance if you are using a script to include all
pths by hand in some strange order). Just something to look out for.
